Hawthorn have had two narrow wins in a row while Adelaide have been really impressive.
The Crows rarely play on the MCG and the last time they were here against the Hawks was in last year’s semi-final, which Hawthorn won easily.
Will Adelaide’s forward line be too strong? Or will the Hawks experience once again reign supreme?
