As reported in The Age, the Crows have denied that the wind and rain forecast for tonight's blockbuster against the Bombers at AAMI Stadium will give the Crows an advantage.

After training in wild conditions, Adelaide assistant coach Peter Curran says that if the Bombers, who play a lot of matches indoors, adapt to the conditions if they are prepared mentally and physically.

"I don't think it's an advantage necessarily," Peter Curran said.

"The side that comes in and adapts to the conditions is usually the side that's best prepared mentally and physically.

"They're quite capable of winning and we've got to be able to match that with our best performance."

Adelaide are currently clear favourites after coming off a huge upset win over Port Adelaide last weekend.
