North Melbourne and the Adelaide Crows are set to face off in the final game of the home-and-away season in Round 24 of the 2025 Australian Football League season at Marvel Stadium.
North Melbourne have endured a tough year, managing just four wins across the first 20 rounds. All four victories came in a six-game stretch, and the Kangaroos ended their seven-game losing skid last weekend with a massive win over Richmond.
It’s been a strong campaign for the Crows, who have racked up 15 wins and only five losses. They currently sit first on the ladder thanks to an eight-game winning streak and Collingwood's downfall over the last 45 days, as they continue to boast the league’s third-best attack and the best defence.
