Adelaide Crows vs Geelong Cats Preview

Following last week’s disappointment on the Gold Coast, it’s clear that Crows coach Matthew Nicks must be feeling disheartened. Despite the final score somewhat reflecting Adelaide’s performance, the team’s showing was lackluster, especially considering their potential for finals contention after narrowly missing out last year.

Returning home might provide a much-needed boost, but Adelaide cannot afford another sluggish start against a formidable Cats squad, buoyed by their recent thrilling victory over the Saints. While Geelong showcased resilience in crucial moments against St Kilda, their overall performance lacked the usual flair we’ve grown accustomed to over the past decade.

Although the Cats secured victory, they appeared to be missing that extra spark, potentially jeopardizing their chances against opponents with stronger goal-scoring capabilities.

With a more potent forward line and a formidable home record from last season, the Crows hold promise, particularly considering their resilience in the face of adversity against the Suns. Therefore, they seem deserving of favoritism in this upcoming clash.
