The Adelaide Crows and Carlton are set to face off at the Adelaide Oval in Round 8 of the 2025 AFL season on Saturday.
The Crows had a great start to their 2025 season as they began their campaign with three straight wins against St. Kilda, Essendon and North Melbourne. However, they have since taken only one win, against the GWS Giants, in their last four games, and this drop in form has put them down in fifth place on the AFL ladder.
In exactly opposite conditions, Carlton lost their opening four games this season and were placed third last on the ladder. However, Michael Voss' side's fortunes have improved tenfold as they have taken three straight wins, having opened the run with a 71-point win over the West Coast Eagles and an 82-point victory over North Melbourne. They are now placed in the 11th place and will hope to rise further up this weekend.
