It’s desperate times for Adelaide as they head to the MCG to face Melbourne needing an upset win to reignite their finals hopes. Join The Roar for live scores from 3:20pm (AEST).
The Demons have a soft run home ahead, so victory here could entrench themselves further in the top four.
The Crows, meanwhile, face falling out of touch with the eight entirely, and with star pair Josh Rachele and Rory Laird among five changes, the visitors will be hoping the returning Matt Crouch can rediscover his best form having fallen out of favour in recent seasons.

Last week we missed being 6th by a little and now we're marooned on our tiny little atoll of percentage hoping for a bypassing freighter to displacing the bobbing fleet ahead of us.

Yep been that sort of season:) it will be interesting looking back on what the Pundits predicted at the start of the season and the outcomes, I personally have not had a good year of tipping at all and I believe I am not the only one;)

Two games effectively % in front of the rest sitting comfortably in the four, players, subs, coaches stepping up when they need to, for gosh sake Dees supporters let’s just believe, we might not win the lot but we have beaten the Wobblies.GO DEES.

Umpires didn't cost Crows the game - inaccurate set shots did

Umps seem to adjucate on similar football actions differently for Mel as against Adel. 21 to 12 frees in a 4 point game is signicant.

Good win to hang onto tho. You’ve gotta bank em
