Geelong Cats vs Adelaide Crows Preview

Adelaide’s season was summed up well last week, lacking continuity and consistency at home against the rampaging Hawks.

Geelong were trounced by the Dogs at home and certainly have a point to prove against the Crows to regain some pride at home.

Statistics are on their side, as the Crows have lost the first quarter in Victoria in the past 17 outings, which does correlate to their poor road record.

It’s been 21 years since the Crows won at GHMBA, and whilst they were valiant last year, it’s a ground they don’t play too well.

Geelong’s defensive deficiencies have let them down lately and they’re not in ripping form heading into finals, but are likely to make it with a desirable draw.

If the Crows can generate speed in transition, they’re likely to impact inside 50, but it’s their own game they get beaten on typically, unable to defend chaos ball in the forward half.

The Crows average high disposal efficiency but haven’t been able to finish well inside 50, which works in the Cats favour.

Geelong isn’t locked into finals, so they need to perform, but if the Crows come and play with freedom, they could cause a major upset.
