ADELAIDE v BRISBANE

Sunday 28 May @ Adelaide Oval

Last game of the round is a potential clinker and making it more interesting is that the outsider is playing from the home base.

They arrive off far differing circumstances though and those things can inflict some psychological impact.

Adelaide almost felt like they were having a bye when taking to Ballarat with a reduced quality side. Thilthorpe and Doedee were injured and then they rested Walker too. The heart was lost.

Besides the dash of Laird off half back, there wasn't many others that joined in the battle and it showed as they only kicked 5 goals – albeit it was a cold day as expected.

They will need to be offering a lot more this time but often sides who arrive home do do that and they undoubtedly play better in Adelaide.

What they face in the Lions is a side who were challenged in the Q-Clash but streaked away late. Their rolls royces in the middle in Neale, Ashcroft and Dunkley keep racking up the numbers.

If they can continue supply to a potent forward line, only good things will happen. Joe Daniher is having one of his best years and another 4 explains that. Him getting around the ground only aids his good play.

On top of that Brisbane has an excellent record over the Crows of late. They did lose 7 on the bounce but have turned that around with 4 in a row of their own.

Just like the way the Lions are travelling and the Crows might be just having a little dip after the big season start. Younger sides do that.

Adelaide Oval has had a habit of being wet this football season. If it was dry you'd be backing a shoot-out but can we anticipate that?

Brisbane to win and cover the start.
