Can the Crows defend their home in their finals since 2017, having dominated the home and away season?
They won an arm wrestle in the penultimate round of the home and away season over the Pies, despite Collingwood dominating the stats sheet.
The Pies have brought back Mason Cox while a sore-looking Nick Daicos was cleared fit to play, and they will need to lean on their September experience at a hostile Adelaide Oval.

Hello and welcome to September footy, where minor premiers Adelaide welcome Collingwood for the second time in a month.

Still don’t bet against them given their finals experience with the Crows remarkably in their first finals series since their grand final loss.
