Adelaide vs. Collingwood

There's a watch on Beau McCreery's fitness, while Bobby Hill is trying to make his case for a return despite playing just one AFL match in the last 10 weeks. For the Crows, Izak Rankine will miss through suspension, and dynamic small forward Josh Rachele has been ruled out of a return from his knee injury.
