* Geelong haven't won a home and away match at AAMI stadium since 2000.
* Geelong will take top spot on the ladder with a win
* Adelaide travelling indifferently, Geelong flying
“No change”. Two words that assure any supporter that their team is travelling nicely. This week Geelong fans are certainly under no illusion of that fact.
The Cats have won five on the trot now after despatching St Kilda at the Dome last Sunday evening. After being challenged in the first half, Geelong put on the afterburners in the second and had too much run, pace, polish and forward power for St Kilda to handle.
This week is a new challenge for Geelong and shapes as a great match. The Cats clear leaders of the league in scoring while the Crows have been renowned for the frugality in recent years. Mooney, Nathan Ablett and Ottens will take on the Adelaide defence spearheaded by Ben Rutten. Geelong's small forwards in Steve Johnson and Travis Varcoe will need to be on their game against the attacking half backs in McLeod and Johncock.
Geelong will take plenty of confidence to AAMI after demolishing the Power at the venue two weeks ago. And if top spot on the ladder isn't enough motivation, Mark Thomspon need only have plastered to the change room wall the score line from the previous encounter between the teams, where the Crows embarrassed the Cats to the tune of 92 points.
But this week's match presents a vastly different climate.
Geelong are sure to be Premiership favourites if they can account for the Crows. Adelaide were in a similar position in the teams round 13 encounter last year.
Adelaide have been disappointing thus far. Two losses this season already at AAMI as well as becoming the first victim of Melbourne last weekend have fallen well short of pre-season expectations of the Crows.
Adelaide will attempt to shut down Geelong's running game and turn it into a 12-goal a piece stoush. They'll need to make sure Bartel, Ablett and Corey don't have the run of the midfield clearances to go any way to achieving this.
Cameron Ling will look to chalk up yet another victim this week and Simon Goodwin already has a huge target painted on his back.
You get the feeling that Geelong could take this one right away from Adelaide if things go their way early. An out of sorts Crows outfit could be steamrolled by the white hot Cats.
But if Adelaide can keep it tight early they may be able to germinate those seeds of doubt that must surely still exist in Cat minds. In a close run game you'd like your money on the Crows.
Geelong have done nothing though to make me doubt them yet. So I'll put it on the line for them once again.
Geelong by 45 points.
