HALF TIME
The Cats hold the barest of leads at half time despite Adelaide putting up an almightly fight so far.
In what’s been a thrilling first half, the Crows made the fast start before Geelong clawed their way back in the second quarter to take a one-point lead into the break.
Tom Hawkins has looked potent for the Cats but Joel Selwood’s been best on ground thus far, collecting 20 possessions and taking six marks.
“The key for the Crows is to make their decisions on the move,” Cats great Jimmy Bartel said at half time.
“If you’re slow off the mark, they’re playing into Geelong’s hands.”
