In what will most likely be a sell-out at the Adelaide Oval, the Crows and the Tigers will do battle in yet another finals-shaping match.
Adelaide are coming off a massive 105-point percentage-boosting win over Brisbane last week and will be looking to cement itself in the eight with a win over an in-form Richmond outfit.
The Tigers have overcome a horrific start to the year and have won six-straight games to put themselves in with a shot at finals football.
Richmond dealt well with the pressure-cooker game against Essendon last week, but it remains to be seen if they can do it over a strong Crows side away from home.
Brenton Sanderson’s side welcome back James Podsiadly into the squad, however they lose Andy Otten to a horror knee injury.
This will be a cracking game of football with a finals-like atmosphere. Tune in!
