Even taking into account Adelaide's accurate kicking, Geelong should still be at least 20+ points up.

Why should they?

Umm, because they've had 27 scoring shots to 16. 

 

Another ridiculous deliberate OOB from a fumble this time against Cats

They just do not understand the game

How does seedsman miss that shot directly in front. Disgraceful. Then Enright just bombed one from outside 50. Adelaide just can't get that next goal to get in front. 

But for us to have any hope in getting into the 8 providing we win or just to stay in touch we need the cats to win. 

Cats look home now. 

If we can beat the Doggies we will be in the 8.

We might be in the 8 at the end of this game

So? You could pick out 100 should haves in a game of footy - it's a totally different equation if instead of saying "they should have kicked more goals", you change it to "Adelaide should have hit more targets through the middle/half forward".  The possibilites in a game of footy are infinite - I think the only scenario that matters is the one that actually happened.  

Furthermore, any one of those misses going through for a goal changes the course of the game entirely - ball goes back to the middle instead of being kicked in and trapped again at half back, which takes the contest back to even, rather than giving them another opportunity to trap it at half back, which they've done really well.  I think you could argue that if Geelong had kicked more goals early on, they'd have generated far fewer scoring opportunities, and some of them that turned out to be Geelong scoring opportunities could even have been Adelaide scoring opportunities due to the contest being reset.  

Two HTB against the Crows from high tackles. 

Poor umpiring but Cats too good

Cats win by about 20 points and we are in the 8 on percentage after this game.

In the 8 right now but meaningless unless we kick the Dogs. 

Never seen so many players from the one team kick as blindly as Adelaide have tonight - every time they get the ball it's on their boot without even lifting their head to see where they're kicking. And of course Cats are there to mark it and send it down the other end. Cats should be way more in front.

We're in the 8! Thanks Geelong.

CH7 just showed the live ladder. WE ARE IN 8TH SPOT!

Agree, but I would rather be in the 8 than not.

OMG prancing pony picks another deliberate from a miskick under pressure.  They really do not understand footy.

Thanks Gil for another blight on our once enjoyable game.

Don't watch the end...it gets worse. For your sake, I'm telling you this.

Although, I haven't even watched it. Any movie where a dog dies, i avoid it like the plague.

In the 8 two percentage points clear of the crows and a game in hand..... makes me smile

cats much better side all night

os	Club	P	W	L	D	%	Pts
1	Geelong Cats	8	7	1	0	166.7	28
2	North Melbourne	7	7	0	0	123	28
3	Sydney Swans	7	6	1	0	155.4	24
4	Western Bulldogs	7	5	2	0	145.8	20
5	GWS Giants	7	5	2	0	138.3	20
6	Hawthorn	7	5	2	0	99.4	20
7	West Coast Eagles	7	4	3	0	116.6	16
8	Melbourne	7	4	3	0	112.7	16

Cannot see WCE, Hawthorn or Giants getting beaten this round so if we can put in a win over the dogs it will give us a good break over the rest particularly if the Blues can get Port. makes the game on Sunday all the more important.

Wayne Milera looked anything but a high draft pick. Looked timid, and out of his depth.
