Adelaide versus Swans preview:

Can Adelaide find an efficient way of moving the ball forward against the Swans? Kurt Tippett had an impossible task of marking the ball, opposed to two or more opponents at Skilled Stadium last weekend.

The Crows won the stoppages, but were haphazard with their entry inside 50m and must find another target to take the heat off Tippett.

After consecutive losses to top-four teams, Carlton and Collingwood, Saturday night’s clash with the Crows becomes critical for the Swans, who need to fend off the challenge from fellow finals aspirants Fremantle, Melbourne and North Melbourne and consolidate a spot in the eight.
