Adelaide has turned around its horror record against Collingwood with two wins from three matches over the past 12 months, but have little margin for error as they push for a top-four finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Collingwood (10-1-7) has got its campaign back on track with five wins from as many matches against sides currently sitting in the bottom half of the ladder.<\/p>\n

The Magpies have a perfect record from 10 games against the lower half teams this year but are yet to take the scalp of a side now in the top half.<\/p>\n

They have a challenging run home that begins with the Crows and includes the Cats, Hawks and Lions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Magpies have dropped youngster Sam Swadling to make room for the return of veteran Jeremy Howe.<\/p>\n

Adelaide has recalled Finnbar Maley for just his sixth game of the season, while\u00a0Brayden Cook\u00a0has been rested. Veteran Taylor Walker returns to replace the suspended\u00a0Darcy Fogarty, and Nick Murray\u00a0replaces\u00a0Mark Keane, who is out with illness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow all the action from Thursday night’s clash between Adelaide and Collingwood at Adelaide Oval Harry Perryman tackles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":818409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-818408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/818409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
