Adelaide needs to win at least three of its last five games to play in the finals.
The Crows are one of four teams now sitting outside the top eight still chasing a top eight spot, with 50 premiership points looming as the cut-off point.
But banking 50 points may not guarantee a top eight finish, with percentage possibly the decider.
Eight of the nine games in Round 19 will influence the finals race.
The run home
1. Fremantle
60 points (15 wins, two losses) 127.1 per cent

Rd 23: Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval
2. West Coast
54 points (13 wins, three losses, one draw) 154.40 per cent

Rd 19: Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium
Rd 20: Melbourne at Etihad Stadium
Rd 21: West Coast at Domain Stadium
Rd 22: North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium
