Last time we met

Collingwood 100 d Adelaide 58 (Round 2, 2022)

A stadium-wide evacuation was called early in the match but it was the Pies that were on fire, with a stunning seven-goal third term seeing the home side finish 42-point winners. Collingwood finished the game with eight more tackles than Adelaide, while the Crows only had three fewer inside 50s, failing to convert in attack as our defence held firm.

Key match-ups

Rory Laird v Jack Crisp

Laird is averaging 33 disposals, seven tackles and seven clearances a game this year and he collected a whopping 42 disposals last round. Crisp is one of the Pies leading ball winners and he is influential every week - he averages 25 disposals, nine contested possessions and five score involvements.

Tom Doedee v Brody Mihocek

Doedee is a running machine and he's averaging eight intercepts and six contested possessions a game this season. Mihocek has been a reliable target up forward all year and he's averaging four marks, two goals and five score involvements a game. 

Look out for

Expect Collingwood to come out firing. The Pies looked complacent for three quarters against North Melbourne and will be determined to avoid another slow start.
