LIVEAdelaide is determined to put the clamps on Geelong by reducing its uncontested marks in Thursday night’s Gather Round opener. The Cats took a whopping 148 uncontested marks to Melbourne’s 70 last week to help them control much of the play in their 39-point home win over the Demons. But whether Crows star Izak Rankine features against Geelong at Adelaide Oval is still up in the air as the club prepares to make an 11th-hour decision over his availability.

Port Adelaide will play two rucks against Essendon on Thursday night as the Power looks to cover for a lack of tall forwards. The Power recalled Ivan Soldo for his first match since June last year as one of three forced changes for the clash at Marvel Stadium.

Most Adelaide players will be excited to take on Essendon at the MCG on Saturday, rather than daunted by the club’s record there, Crows great Mark Ricciuto says. Adelaide is winless from its past 11 matches at the home of football, losing 10 in a row and drawing the one prior in 2017. The Crows’ most recent MCG victory was against Carlton eight years ago, in a clash that four players selected this Saturday (Matt Crouch, Rory Laird, Wayne Milera and Taylor Walker) featured in.

Jason Horne-Francis to @superfooty on his shoulder injury: “It’s just a bit of a tweak, I think. Hopefully not too bad. I came out of a stiff arm and felt it pull up a bit sore. We’ll see how it goes & probably get scans.” ➡️ https://t.co/ehjgRjsYPu #AFLPowerDees https://t.co/bHLl7rHqUh
DEEP DIVE - Keep falling short on road v best teams, but Mitchell thinks Crows are "legit" - Tex, Fog 1 touch each in Q4 - Rachele, Thilthorpe, Tex kick 0.8 - 2 bad spoils (Fog's free, Berry losing Newcombe) led to matchwinner - Worrell on THAT tackle ▶️https://t.co/5tisypAjOJ https://t.co/Yh5uhkoN4u
ANALYSIS: Adelaide's conceding its fewest points against since 2005 & its fewest scores per inside 50 on record. Since Gather Round they're 1st for points against & pressure rating. And doing it with a backline without big-name recruits or top-10 picks. https://t.co/QccWbvBYTD https://t.co/mAFqtUyg1R
