Adelaide Crows (7-10-1) are set to host the high-flying Hawthorn Hawks (10-8) in the late Sunday match, as the Hawks aim to keep their finals aspirations alive.
The Crows recently pulled off a thrilling two-point victory over Essendon last Friday in what has been hailed as one of the best games of the season.
On the other hand, the Hawks have been in fine form, winning nine of their last eleven matches. Their only losses during this stretch include a narrow defeat by a point to Port Adelaide, where a last-minute blunder cost them the game, and a setback against Geelong.
However, they bounced back impressively, securing a gritty 13-point win over Fremantle and then demolishing Collingwood by 66 points last weekend.
