A Giant blow up forward for the in-form GWS could leave them as underdogs on the road, as Adelaide look to pull themselves out of a mini dip in form.
The Crows (3-2, 130.4 per cent) started this year like a house of fire, however two close losses to the Suns and Cats in the last fortnight have left them in desperate need of a ‘scalp’ to solidify their credentials.
Meanwhile, the Giants (4-1, 145.4 per cent) are in a serious vein of form, and history suggests they also hold the wood over their opponents this weekend — having won four of their last five meetings.

Matthew Nicks’ side will be without a suspended James Peatling, who copped a one-week ban for a tackle last Thursday night against Geelong. In better news though, defender Nick Murray returns in a much-needed boost for their defence. Lachlan Sholl has been omitted in favour of Sam Berry, who plays his first AFL game for 2025.
Jesse Hogan’s absence for Adam Kingsley’s team is a massive out, particularly given the vulnerable nature of Adelaide’s defence. Xavier O’Halloran comes in for him, as expectation on the likes of Jake Stringer and Aaron Cadman up forward rise.
