Racing and Sports will provide analysis of games in the 2025 AFL Season.
We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.
ADELAIDE v WEST COAST
Sunday 25 May @ Adelaide Oval
The Eagles won a game of footy – hurrah!
Whether that is the start of better times or a false dawn who knows.
But they will either gain momentum or find a reality check against the Crows in Adelaide.
Adelaide lost to Collingwood at the MCG but that honourable loss has certain weight to it. Pushing the favourites all the way has credibility.
Had a few decisions gone the other way it may even have led to victory. Plus taking their chances kicking as well.
| Match | Adelaide | West Coast | Ground |
| Last time they met | 21.11 [137] | 5.8 [38] | Adelaide Oval |

| Notes | Crows have won the last 5, Eagles the previous 5. | ||
| WCE had won 9 of first 11 at Adelaide Oval – have lost the last 8. | |||
When the big forwards get decent supply they can cause a drama or two.
Trouble is there hasn't been enough of that from a midfield sometimes more bent on winning other battles.
As the betting suggests you have to think Adelaide just lets fly here. On a fine day it might be a big margin but otherwise only the weather could constrain this.
Match Selection: Adelaide by 52 points
