Adelaide Crows (3-5) will look to make it three straight wins when they host the inconsistent Brisbane Lions (3-5) on Saturday in AFL Round 9 action.
The Crows continue to step up their game following a rough start to the season, as they made it back-to-back wins with a 78-48 thrashing of local rivals Port Adelaide last weekend. The win moved the Crows up to 12th spot in the league standings with 12 points after eight rounds of AFL action.
Brisbane, meanwhile, breezed past the Gold Coast Suns 79-45 with a courageous display last time out. They sit in 13th spot in the standings with 12 points.
