It all points to a massive win for the ladder leaders, Adelaide, when they head west on Sunday evening to take on the bottom-placed West Coast, in what shapes as a serious mismatch.

The Crows are into premiership favouritism after their 15-point win over Hawthorn last weekend and have been ruthless in dispatching teams outside the eight in 2025 — unbeaten in 12 such matches and winning four of their past five by 60 points or more.

Meanwhile, West Coast are enduring a horror run, having lost 10 straight, and just dont seem to have any answers at all, going down to 12th placed Melbourne by 83-points last weekend.

They are last on the ladder and entrenched at the bottom in a number of other statistical measures. The Eagles are in for a long evening against one of the league’s most physical midfield units.

Adelaide's firepower is peaking at the right time. Riley Thilthorpe has kicked 15 goals in his last four, Taylor Walker continues to turn back the clock, and Izak Rankine remains one of the league’s most dangerous forwards.

The Crows' defence, which ranks second for fewest points conceded over the past five rounds, should comfortably handle West Coast’s limited forward entries. Despite some fight from the Eagles' midfield — led by Tim Kelly and Jamie Cripps — the gap in class, depth, and structure should see Adelaide record another commanding win. Take the Crows to win big and take your pick of a number of their key forwards to kick a bag.

Four of Adelaide’s past five matches against bottom half sides have resulted in 60+ point wins.
Adelaide have won the past four against the Eagles by an average margin of 83 points.
Riley Thithorpe kicked four against Hawthorn last weekend.
Izak Rankine kicked three for the Crows last weekend.

Ryan Maric, Tim Kelly and Tom McCarthy all hit the 25+ disposals mark against Melbourne last weekend but the Eagles rank last for disposals and clearances in the past five rounds. Kelly has gone 25+ in his past two matches.
