Adelaide Crows vs Geelong Cats Preview

After last week’s nail-biting loss to the Suns, Adelaide may find relief in the reduced pressure heading into Gather Round, though defensive concerns remain. They allowed 26 scoring chances to Gold Coast, and Geelong’s ability to score off turnovers could punish Adelaide’s ball security issues. With Adelaide’s forward line, led by Riley Thilthorpe, still a potent force, the Cats’ backline will face a tough challenge. However, Geelong has an impressive recent record at Adelaide Oval and, with a shorter turnaround, they’re good value to cover the line (+7.5), especially with the Crows still working through their defensive frailties.
