Adelaide Crows vs Sydney Swans Preview
It’s do-or-die for the Crows at home this week.
Another honourable loss to the Brisbane Lions was an encouraging sign for the future, but after boasting genuine finals aspirations midway through the year, Adelaide continues to come up short in several key areas.
Playing at home has proven crucial to the Crows’ chances, evident in the fact they’ve averaged nearly 15 more marks per-game, and nearly four more goals than they have on the road.
On the flip side, the Swans have just as much to play for. John Longmire’s squad has put together five wins on the trot, the latest coming over the Gold Coast Suns in superb fashion.
If they make it, there might not be a bigger dark horse than last year’s Grand Final runner-ups, but this does shape as a serious litmus test for a team that appeared lost only two months ago.
Side by side, the Crows have been a much more efficient team when it comes to marking the ball inside 50, while they’ve also recorded fewer turnovers per-game.
The Swans have the firepower to match Adelaide on the scoreboard, but with the Crows in must-win mode, they look tough to bet against with full home support behind them.
