It was a tough weekend for these two teams in Round 21 – Adelaide lost to GWS by 14 points and North Melbourne went down by seven points to the Western Bulldogs.
For the Crows, the last two games will be all about pride and finding some positives to draw from a season that was full of disappointments and injuries.
North Melbourne are not mathematically out of the finals just yet, but it will be very difficult for them from here, needing two wins and relying on other results to go in their favour.
In team news this weekend, Paul Seedsman and Riley Knight come in for omitted duo Lachlan Murphy and Cameron Ellis-Yolmen.
Mitch McGovern will also return, provide a tall marking option up forward in the absence of suspended captain Taylor Walker.
North Melbourne have made just the one change, resting Paul Ahern and including Nathan Hrovat in his place.
These two teams met in round seven last year; North Melbourne got one of their six wins for the season, with a 59-point victory over the Crows at Blundstone Arena.
Prediction
North Melbourne have surprised many this year, but when push comes to shove they don’t quite have what it takes to make finals.
It’s been a disappointing year for the Crows, after their grand final appearance last season, but expect them to finish on a high and take some momentum into next year with a couple of wins from their last two games.
