Patrick Dangerfield’s old and current sides – the Adelaide Crows and Geelong Cats – play off for a place in the AFL grand final on Friday night. The match is scheduled to get underway at 7:50pm (AEST) tonight.
Adelaide have been on fire since the very first week of the competition. They had a few road bumps along the way, but finished the season as both minor premiers and favourites.
Their qualifying final performance was a ripper, dominating the Giants from start to finish in an impressive 36-point victory.
Geelong haven’t earned as much praise or hype as the Crows this season, but they still finished second on the ladder and are more than a decent chance of claiming the flag.
A crushing loss to Richmond had the Cats on the canvas, but they got back to their very best with an obliteration of Sydney in the semi-finals last week.
