The prediction

The Adelaide Crows come into this one on the back of a very impressive performance last week as they defeated the Western Bulldogs with a 57-point victory. The Crows have now won five of their last six matches as they recover from a fairly indifferent start to the campaign.

They now face a Melbourne side that have themselves enjoyed a good win. They hammered rock-bottom Essendon with a 45-point win in Victoria last week, backing up a slender victory in a derby against Collingwood earlier on this month.

Melbourne begin Round 15 sitting fourth in the table and the Crows sit sixth but the Crows, in decent form and with home advantage, will fancy themselves to come out on top on Saturday.
