The first of tonight’s matches is between Sydney Swans and Adelaide Crows. The opening bounce commences at 7:40pm at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The last time these two teams met Adelaide beat the Swans by seven points in a low scoring match at AAMI Stadium in Round 15 last year.
Both teams are coming off strong wins in Round 5 with the Swans upsetting Hawthorn after beating them by thirty seven points whilst Adelaide won the derby match against the Power after finishing too strongly to take the game by nineteen points.
Adelaide’s forward line will be boosted by the services of Jason Porplyzia who returns to the side whilst the Swans will field the same squad as last weekend.
The Swans will go into the match as the short priced favourites after a very good win last weekend and taking into account their home ground record it looks likely they will be too good.
WHERE AND WHEN: SCG, Saturday May 5, 7.40pm
LAST TIME: Adelaide 8.9 (57) d Sydney Swans 6.14 (50), round 15, AAMI Stadium
