CATS OUTCLASSED
BY CROWS

AFL
2017 ROUND 18:
ADELAIDE CROWS V GEELONG CATS
GEELONG
wiped the floor with Adelaide in their last encounter just seven weeks
ago but Friday night the Crows had the better of the Cats in almost
the exact opposite outcome. The Crows opened with a five goal to one
opening term and pushed ahead again in the second quarter to lead by
just under 30 points at half time. When the Cats were again out-scored
in the third quarter a Crows victory was inevitable, the two sides going
goal for goal for a while but the lead at 37 points for the final break.
Adelaide managed to go goal-less in the final quarter, and as Harry
Taylor slotted through his third, fourth and fifth goals by the fourteen
minute mark it looked like an unlikely comeback was on the cards. But
in the final thirteen minutes of the game there would be only one behind
each scored, the final margin of 21 points definitely flattering the
Cats but they did mount a credible comeback, whatever Chris Scott and
his players came up with worked. Despite the loss by Sunday evening
the Cats remained second on the ladder thanks largely to Richmond defeating
GWS today.
Worse news was to
come on the weekend with Mark Blicavs' ankle injury turning out to be
a suspected crack in his lower right leg, with him certain to miss weeks.
One of the reasons why the likes of Rhys Stanley and Steven Motlop haven't
found themselves in the Magoos (VFL) has been the injury
list: the VFL side went down to Sandringham
at home by 27 points with only a few AFL-listed players featuring in
the best. Nakia Cockatoo remains on the sidelines while Wylie Buzza
was given a week off unofficially 'managed', and sadly Brandan Parfitt's
hamstring is keeping him out of football yet again. Next weekend the
Cats play Carlton in an away game at Etihad, followed by two games at
Geelong against Sydney and Richmond. The final away match of the season
is against Nathan Buckley's Magpies at the MCG, and the final match
will be against GWS at Geelong on a day yet to be determined but it
won't be on a Monday night.
