Where and when: Adelaide Oval, Saturday 22 May at 4:35pm (AEST)
Last time they met: R10, 2020: Melbourne 13.10 (88) def Adelaide 5.7 (37) at Adelaide Oval.
Last five: Melbourne 3 – Adelaide 2
Match Preview: With every Melbourne win the talk of finals action grows and the snow season jokes diminish. The Crows have improved in 2021 but it will take a big effort for them to stop the Demons’ run at 9-straight victories. Unless the Crows’ midfield find a way to overcome the strong combination of Oliver, Petracca, Gawn and friends, it’s hard to see the Adelaide forward line getting enough supply to kick a winning score.
Get excited by a likely 10-straight Dees’ Fans!
Thommo Watch:
Every week Rory Laird just gets it done. It’s not exciting, but it’s better than a kick in the teeth.Melbourne
Maxy is a stalwart of most teams and if you are doing it right, most teams will own Oliver and perhaps Petracca by season’s end. A few smart teams are also still running James Jordon and picked up Stevie May in recent weeks.
Thommo’s Tip: Melbourne by 30 (tipping record 14/27).

Also Tex reported for dangerous tackle on Oliver.
Should be just a fine. Worst case 1 week. Oliver got up and played reasonably quickly and actually came good and started dominating after a slow start. Maybe Tex did him a favour lol
Darcy Fogarty has been reported for striking.
Really dumb, right in front of umpire.
