Match report: Cats down Crows in thrilling 'Danger' game
May 13, 2016 10:24 PM
A WASTEFUL but brilliant Geelong made Patrick Dangerfield’s return to Adelaide Oval a winning one, and further enhanced its growing credentials against Adelaide on Friday night.
The Cats needed 16 more scoring shots to run out 26 point winners, 13.20 (98) to 11.6 (72), and left the door ajar for far longer than it should have been.
But no one could criticise their mixture of hard inside football and exciting outside run, and they eventually fought off a Crows side which again refused to go away.
Cameron Guthrie and Zac Smith led an inspired Geelong midfield which cut holes in the Crows for much of the night, even without a dominant performance from man-of-the-moment Dangerfield, who still amassed 33 disposals and 11 tackles.
Smith gave the Cats the advantage in the air while Guthrie's ability to release teammates with his grunt was a highlight.
Weitzerlesen ...It meant the brilliant Steven Motlop (four goals) and his fellow forwards were on the end of plenty of fast entries. They always looked dangerous, albeit often wasteful.
