Adelaide Crows vs North Melbourne Kangaroos AFL Tips - High scoring matchup expected in Adelaide
The Adelaide Crows, fresh off two commanding victories, are positioned as favorites in their AFL 2025 Round 3 matchup against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. With a full-strength team and stellar form, particularly from Ben Keays, Adelaide seeks to maintain pressure on the scoreboard early. Despite North Melbourne's recent rebound and impressive Disposal Efficiency, their rebuilding phase might hinder their chances against a formidable Adelaide lineup. The Crows are predicted to secure a 1-39 point win, continuing their dominant streak against the Kangaroos.

The Crows are looking like premiership contenders already this season with two massive wins in the bag and all of their players in good health. It is unlikely that holds for the whole season so they need to get wins while they can.
North are still in a rebuilding phase and whilst they have players that can break a game open they still have a way to go in the psychological game and in holding their structures. They will be put to the test here by a rampaging Adelaide attack that kick the ball more than any other team in the league, something the Roos didn’t have to deal with as much over their first two games.
My expectation in this game is that Adelaide will attempt to heap scoreboard pressure on the Kangaroos as early as possible with North Melbourne unable to restrict them effectively. North Melbourne will show glimmers of hope and their accuracy will keep their score ticking along but it will ultimately not be enough to grab victory.
