Adelaide’s poor record at Kardinia Park has continued after Friday night’s disappointing 22-point loss to Geelong.
The Crows were never really in the game, beaten by the Cats at both the contested (-34) and uncontested ball (-74) at a venue that has delivered Geelong victories on 13 of the past 14 occasions dating back to Round 16, 2015.
For the visitors, Matt Crouch (27 disposals, seven clearances) and brother Brad (28 disposals) battled hard in a midfield that was beaten around the contest, despite the efforts of third-gamer Hugh Greenwood (18 disposals, nine clearances and a game-high 11 tackles).
Tom Lynch worked tirelessly between the arcs to finish with 20 touches, six marks, four inside 50s and two goals, while Jake Lever was once again solid at the opposite end with 14 disposals at 100% efficiency including six rebound 50s.

Polls opens immediately after every Crows game. Users assign three votes to the player they deem Adelaide’s best contributor, two to the second-best and one vote for their third most valuable Crow in each match.
Polling closes on Tuesday at 4.30pm (SA time) after each round when the final votes are collated using a points system.
A maximum of 100 points per game can be awarded to the entire team. Each player is given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally (For example, if 1,200 votes were placed in Round One and Taylor Walker receives 600 then that is the equivalent of 50 per cent of all votes for that round and he would receive 50 points towards his season tally. If the second best player received 120 votes from 1,200 then that is the equivalent of 10 per cent and he will get 10 votes towards the season tally).
This process is repeated each round and players accumulate points towards their season tally. The player at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season is crowned the Crows Fans’ MVP.
