Talking points

u GMHBA Stadium is a house of horrors for the Crows. The Cats have won their past 12 games there against Adelaide.

u Taylor Walker and Darcy Fogarty are the best in the AFL after seven rounds on goals kicked. Not a great time for Sam De Koning to be ruled out.

u Geelong’s round seven team was on average over 27 years old and had 128 games of experience, while Adelaide’s side was just shy of 25 years old on average with 89 games of experience.
