Brisbane have the top two in their sights when they host an Adelaide outfit desperate to keep their finals hopes alive. Join The Roar for live scores from 4:35pm (AEST).
The Lions were leapfrogged by Melbourne on percentage last week, but with Port Adelaide losing, remain in third; and they have three weeks, including a tricky road trip to face Collingwood, to wrestle back a home qualifying final.
Oscar McInerney returns after the ruckman missed their thrilling win over Fremantle with soreness, while the Crows have made a major statement by omitting young star Josh Rachele.
With the Crows one loss from oblivion in 2023, can they extend their two-match winning streak to three and stay on course for a surprise September berth?
