What our experts say:
Adelaide vs Richmond
The sheer unpredictability of the 2012 season continued last week as North Melbourne upset the highly-fancied Adelaide at Etihad Stadium last week. For all their improvement – at times the Crows have looked unstoppable – it showed there are still flaws in Adelaide’s game and they are prone to periods of unaccountable, unproductive football.
That won’t fly against a Richmond team determined to strike more fear in the hearts of their opponents. A terrible home loss to Fremantle followed by an unconvincing win against Greater Western Sydney has taken some of the shine off the Tigers.
At home, the Crows have been strong all year and they should bounce back from a disappointing game last week to hold their spot in the top five.
