Adelaide Crows vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
Beware of the Hawks—this team has been a formidable opponent in every contest they’ve entered. As Hawthorn heads to Adelaide to face the Crows, they encounter a tough challenge at the Adelaide Oval.
Adelaide showed resilience with a stunning fourth-quarter comeback against the Bombers, fueled by a nine-goal second term. Despite this, they’ve struggled defensively, allowing 113 points against weaker forward lines.
Hawthorn’s pace and ground-level play have been particularly effective, exploiting opposition defensive structures. Unlike many teams, the Hawks aren’t reliant on marks inside 50, which makes them dangerous in open play.
While Adelaide’s recent form and strong home record make them a tough opponent, the Hawks’ current momentum and strategic approach could give them the edge. With so much on the line, it’s a critical clash for Hawthorn as they push towards September.
