Geelong Cats vs Adelaide Crows Preview
After a poor start to the season, Geelong has found their mojo after winning their last four.
The Cats lead the league in averages for inside 50s, turnovers, marks inside 50, goal assists and trail only Melbourne for total points scored.
The double threat of Jeremy Cameron and Tom Hawkins up front has been well complimented by the form of Gryan Miers, Max Holmes, Sam Simpson and Ollie Henry and they have done all this with the absence of a few key personal at times especially in defence.
And they have been exceptional in front of goal in recent weeks.
They’ve kicked 80.45 in the last four rounds.
If it wasn’t for poor kicking at goal, the Crows could have been sitting on top of the AFL ladder through seven rounds.
They kicked 12.18 against GWS in an opening round loss and 7.16 last weekend in a one point loss to Collingwood.
Bad kicking is bad football.
Jordan Dawson is having a career best season averaging 25.9 touches per game as well as 5.3 inside 50s.
This may be the toughest trip in the game as Geelong has not only covered the line in their last eight straight games at GMHBA Stadium, they’ve won their last 12 against the Crows there.
