Geelong Cats will be aiming for a top-four finish when they take on Adelaide Crows this Saturday at GMHBA Stadium.
The Cats recently secured their fourth victory in five matches, convincingly defeating North Melbourne by 40 points in Tasmania. Currently, Chris Scott’s team sits just outside the top four on percentage, and this match presents a great opportunity to improve their standing, especially since they have won four of their last five encounters against the Crows.
On the other hand, Adelaide faced a harsh reality check in their last outing, suffering a 66-point loss to a strong Hawthorn side. They struggled offensively, managing only 22 points in the second half while conceding 94 points during those three quarters.
With both teams eager to secure a win, this clash promises to be an exciting contest.
