Adelaide welcome back star Izak Rankine with their season on the line against the in-form Sydney in what might be their most important match since the 2017 grand final. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:40pm (AEST).
With an excellent percentage and a final-round clash with the lowly West Coast, the Crows would almost certainly be September bound with a victory over the Swans here, and Rankine’s return from a hamstring injury gives them a huge boost.
However, with five consecutive wins, the Swans are in excellent form, and sitting seventh on the ladder, they also know a win here would just about lock up a finals berth to complete their remarkable season turnaround, regardless of a tough last-round date with Melbourne.
