Show Preview
After another win in the revival of their season, the Adelaide Crows return to the Adelaide Oval to host the Fremantle Dockers on Sunday afternoon. Join The Roar for all of the action, with live scores and a blog of the match starting at 4:40pm AEST.
Adelaide defeated the Saints by 29 points on Saturday afternoon at Marvel Stadium, a second win in a row for the previously struggling Crows side.
Adelaide’s Crouch brothers found plenty of the Sherrin, while Taylor Walker found some form in front of goals with four majors.
Fremantle are also coming off a couple of consecutive wins, the latest against the Western Bulldogs on Saturday night in Perth.
While it was a much closer game than most expected, the Dockers kicked away beautifully in the last term, notching up a 19-point win and finding more confidence in their game.
Brandon Matera hit the scoreboard with five goals, while David Mundy celebrated game 300 with 28 disposals and two goals.
While it’s still difficult to tell exactly what is going on with the ladder this season, Fremantle finished Round 6 in second place, with four wins and a strong percentage.
It’s a nice place to be, can they stay there?
Adelaide have made one change at selection, with Bryce Gibbs returning from illness to face the Dockers. Myles Poholke is the unlucky omission.
Jordan Gallucci, Bryce Gibbs’ replacement last Saturday, keeps his place in the side and is named on the interchange.
Fremantle will take an unchanged side to Adelaide to face the Crows.
The last time these two sides met was in Round 12, 2018, and the Dockers held off the Crows to win by three points at Optus Stadium.
Alex Pearce up against Taylor Walker is one of the key match-ups of this game; can Walker continue his form or will Pearce improve his All-Australian credentials?
Last weekend Alex Keath played a very Jeremy McGovern-like game, intercepting everything and impacting contests in the defensive half.
Fremantle have the tall forward line to hold him accountable and must, if they want their smalls to have an impact on the scoreboard too.
Prediction
Fremantle have had a good start to the season, but will find it tough in Adelaide against a solid squad, who are finding form in recent weeks.
An exciting contest awaits, but it’ll be the Crows who kick away late.
Adelaide by 19 points.
