Adelaide Crows vs Richmond Tigers Preview
In a game that seems so clear cut, these Tigers havent backed down from a contest, and as injuries continue to haunt them, theyll still come to Adelaide with a bit of ticker.
The Crows were unable to live up to the occasion again last week against the Hawks and were steamrolled from the first bounce, wrestling back some momentum late in the game.
Theres little belief in their ability to win in different ways, and whilst most teams around them have gotten better, the notion that youll just naturally improve from last year didnt come true for the Crows.
With that being said, this game presents a good opportunity to try something new and experiment with a different game style.
The Tigers have lacked class through the middle, which has been the difference in most cases even when keeping in touch.
The Crows can exploit the corridor with ease off turnover but it would be interesting to see if they can stretch out the ground and give their taller forwards much better looks, rather than praying a small can mop up the ground ball.
The scrappier the Tigers make the contest, the more it leans into their hands of unpredictability, as the Crows are an uncontested team at their best.
Richmond is no stranger to a win at Adelaide Oval, but its not the lack of fight that will make it hard, its the lack of class that has hurt them to sustain it across four quarters.
Speed and control are always reliable when the Crows are at home, but in Dustys 300th, expect the unexpected.
