THE NAB Cup Final is already upon us and with 14 teams out of the race two are left standing.
Almost 11 years after Adelaide’s Grand Final victory over the Saints, these two sides meet again to contest for the NAB Cup silverware on Saturday night at AAMI Stadium. The Saints have named tall forwards Justin Koschitzke and Nick Riewoldt despite both players appearing to suffer injuries in their last NAB Cup games. The Crows have only made one change with Bryce Campbell replacing young James Sellar.
