Forecast for the rest of Saturday
Summary
Max 20
Mostly sunny.
Possible rainfall: 0 mm
Chance of any rain: 0%
Adelaide area
Mostly sunny. Light winds becoming east to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h in the late evening.
SUMMARY
Both clubs will be desperate to make amends for disappointing losses last weekend. The Crows – unbeaten after the first six rounds – unbelievably conceded 10 unanswered goals in the first quarter to North Melbourne at Hobart. Meanwhile, the Demons dropped a game many expected them to win in a three-point defeat to a struggling Hawthorn side. It's hard to imagine the ladder-leading Crows turning in two poor performances in a row, especially at Adelaide Oval where they have been so hard to beat. However, the Kangaroos may have unveiled the blueprint to slowing down the Crows that all other teams will now aim to replicate. The Demons will need to follow their lead and restrict the Crows' ball movement and keep their dangerous forwards under control. This is a massive test for Simon Goodwin's improving side to see if they are a genuine top-eight contender this year.
PREDICTION: Adelaide by 30 points.
