North Melbourne vs Adelaide Crows Preview
The Kangaroos probably haven’t hit rock bottom yet, which is concerning given they’re the only winless team left in the competition.
The Crows come into the contest no better, one win more than the Roos, unable to convert late against the Bombers, and one holding the ball decision away from having a hopeful season again.
The soon-to-be football state in Tasmania gets its first taste of footy for the year down in Hobart, and it probably won’t be the prettiest either.
North Melbourne lacks a competitive nature, it’s been out of their system for four years now, and it’s becoming ingrained in the youth who don’t know any different.
Adelaide have lost their winnable edge this year, and have failed to improve on their defensive weaknesses from last year, letting teams figure them out offensively and ultimately giving them no choice at all.
That being said, not a lot to analyse in a game like this, the Crows have forward timber the Roos can’t stop, and defensively they just need to shut down Larkey.
Conditions look pretty good for Saturday, so all things considered, the Crows should have this done by halftime.
