Adelaide at Geelong
pick: Geelong -6.5
Adelaide is 13-3 and won against the Cats in round seven at AAMI Stadium but it has been tough for the visitors for a long time at Simmons Stadium. The Crows haven't won at Geelong since Round 10, 2003, when the visitors won by 18 points. Geelong has won the past five encounters at their home ground and have turned it into one of the toughest road trips in the sport. Geelong is 10-6 and won the Grand Flag last year. Take the Geelong Cats -6.5 this weekend. GL!
