Top of the table clash. The two best attacks and two of the best three defences in the competition.
Crows: Converting pressure into points
The Crows are elite in the defensive side of the game, particularly in causing turnovers and converting those turnovers into goals. They rank 3rd in tackles, 2nd in pressure acts, 2nd in turnovers caused and 1st for goals resulting from turnovers caused. Combined with a raucous full house expected at Adelaide Oval, the Swans will need to be ready for their onslaught.

Swans: Emasculating teams all over the ground
Contrary to what some media pundits have been spouting in recent weeks, the Swans have conceded the least inside 50s in the comp. This is a stark contrast to the trend in the Longmire era, particularly in 2012, when the Swans would employ the "rope-a-dope" strategy of conceding many inside 50s, backing their defenders to win the defensive contests and hitting the teams on the transition.
The Swans now don't give an inch all over the ground. In addition to the lowest inside 50s conceded, the Swans also rank top in marks inside 50 conceded, metres conceded and 3rd highest in disposals conceded
