After the greatest rise up the ladder in footy history, Adelaide returns to the finals with a tense qualifying final blockbuster against the team that sat flag favourite for most of 2025, Collingwood.

The Crows (1st, 18-5, 139.3%) claimed the minor premiership one year after finishing 15th on the ladder, and now have two home finals in their first September action since the 2017 Grand Final.

The Magpies (4th, 16-7, 122.4%) faded badly late in the season, losing five of six games at one stage, but their 14-2 start to the year means they’re still just one win away from a home prelim.
