A blockbuster clash in South Australia

Saturday’s game will see the two undefeated sides in Adelaide and Melbourne, come together to battle it out at Norwood Oval.

The Demons will be looking for redemption following their 18-point loss to the Crows in last season’s Preliminary Final, which saw Melbourne’s finals campaign come to an end.

The Crows will be hosting the Dees for the Saturday match and will be using their home game to celebrate Pride Round, donning their 2022 Pride guernseys. The Dees won’t be pulling on their Pride guernsey due to a jumper clash but will be debuting their Indigenous away strip.

To help acknowledge the Pride Round, the two sides will be running out in a joint banner to signify the league-wide support and recognition of those in the LGBTQIA+ community.
