The Adelaide Crows will look to return to winning ways when they take on the depleted Richmond Tigers at Adelaide Oval on a prime Thursday night AFL clash.
Last time out, the Crows were outclassed by an upbeat Hawthorn team, losing by 27 points last time out. They have now lost 11 straight matches at the MCG, yet they return home as clear favourites. It's a long way back for Matthew Nick's troops, who are currently 10 points below the top eight and have only a slim chance of making the finals.
The Tigers, meanwhile, competed with the Cats for much of last weekend's contest, but they ultimately ran out of steam with Geelong kicking away in the fourth quarter.

Jordan Dawson played last weekend but looked to be carrying a foot issue.
Elliot Himmelberg is anticipated to miss a few weeks after having surgery on his cheekbone. Izak Rankine is still 2-3 weeks away from returning but is making progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury.
