The Adelaide Crows welcome an injury-riddled Richmond Tigers side to the Adelaide Oval tonight. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match, starting from 7:50pm (AEST).
Don Pyke’s side have hit a bit of form as of late. After 12 rounds, the Crows sit fifth on the ladder, which is a sign they are on the up after a slow start to the season.
The confidence Adelaide would have gained from defeating the GWS Giants by 21 points at home last weekend should give them a serious platform to launch a top-four assault.
Matt and Brad Crouch played a huge part in the Crows getting over the line in that game, both accumulating 30 or more disposals.
Josh Jenkins was the pick of the forwards, as he finished with three majors next to his name. Taylor Walker, Rory Sloane and Eddie Betts all finished with two goals each.
They go in unchanged from the week before.
As for Damien Hardwick’s side, they are in some seriously poor form. There is no denying they are missing some key players due to injury, but what they have dished up in recent weeks has not been good enough.
The Tigers were thumped by 67 points against Geelong last weekend, which leaves them seventh on the ladder.
In terms of positives, Dion Prestia found the ball 30 times, but he was the only one to achieve that statistic.
None of the Tigers were able to score more than one goal – they only finished with five as a team.
The bad news continues in regards to injuries for Richmond. Trent Cotchin, Shane Edwards and Ivon Soldo make way due to injury, while Jacob Townsend has been omitted.
Nathan Broad, Brandon Ellis, Connor Menadue and Mabior Chol come into the side.
Prediction
The Tigers have too many injuries to cover at the moment and it has shown in recent games. Adelaide should win this clash comfortably.
Despite the injuries, Richmond need to show more than what they have in recent weeks.
Crows by 34 points.

Sydney Stack is becoming my favourite Aussie sportsman. He celebrates every moment...even in the midst of a contest. Recruiters take note. Pick the footballer then nurture the man.

That’s about how he’s rated, other than by the coach (To be fair he lifted after some shockers early this year. But he just about cost us the game tonight. Should have been dragged.)

The Adelaide Crows have defeated a spirited Richmond Tigers side at the Adelaide Oval by 33 points. Richmond were in the game for the majority of the night, but the final quarter proved too much for them in the end, as Adelaide blew them away. Brad Crouch was immense, as he found the ball 43 times. Matt Crouch was also terrific, as he finished the game with 35 disposals. Josh Jenkins had a terrific game, as he finished with four majors next to his name. However, the night did not end well for the forward, as he injured his knee in the dying moments. Taylor Walker also had a solid night, as he kicked three majors. For the Tigers, Dustin Martin was superb in his first game as captain. He finished with 32 disposals and two goals next to his name. Tom Lynch and Daniel Rioli also kicked two majors each. Adelaide: 15.11 = 101 Richmond: 9.14 = 68

Of course, the moment I have to go drop my sister off somewhere I miss the best bits of the clash ....

Unfortunately, about the margin I was expecting. Though I enjoyed the game apart from the last five to six minutes.
