We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.
ADELAIDE v HAWTHORN
Sunday 28 July @ Adelaide Oval
Two teams off stirring wins fight it out in what will make or break one of them for 2024.
Not that Adelaide are making finals but they are dangerous while Hawthorn could not be doing anything more.
The Crows were poor early, turned it around to get almost 7 goals up then it all swung again. But to their credit they stuck their heads in front and held their nerve.
Injuries will have an impact but at home they will generally play well and set themselves to show off to the faithful fans.
Whatever they do, Hawthorn will pose a massive task for them. They are pretty solid down back with Sicily in charge, tough and contested in the middle and then small but manic in the forward 50.
Jack Ginnivan polarises but he played his best ever game. That will be part of making the Crows life a drama if repeated.

Without Jordan Dawson, there are a lot of holes to be filled. The Crows forwards can impact hard but will they get enough supply?
Hawthorn to win and stake a finals claim.
