AFL Fixture / Andy Morris / 21 May 2011 / Leave a comment Bet Now View Market

It is going to be an interesting match-up at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday for Andy Morris, as the Magpies take on the Crows.

The sides have played 33 times, with the Magpies having a clear advantage, 22-11. The last time these teams met was at the MCG during Round 21 last season, where Collingwood beat Adelaide.

Injuries in the Adelaide side are adding to their woes and are not looking to ease any time soon, with Jason Porplyzia(shoulder), Scott Stevens (illness), David Mackay(shoulder) and Phil Davis (houlder) all out of action. Bernie Vince, their stellar midfielder, will not play the game and is a week away from action with a hamstring. However, 22-year-old defender Andy Otten will return after a knee injury.

Collingwood will be without courageous Alan Toovey, injured in a collision with Tom Hawkins last round in their first loss this season to Geelong. Midfielder Ben Johnson will undergo a fitness test for his back injury, while captain Nick Maxwell is set to play this game. Ruckman Darren Jolly will remain out of action due to knee soreness.

Adelaide will be hoping to regain its consistency for the rest of the season and break away the shackles of ups and downs, but will have to go back to basics and deliver all four quarters to even come close to restoring its season.

Adelaide are available in match odds betting at 14, with Collingwood the overwhelming favourite at 1.7.
