Adelaide be aiming to keep their 2013 campaign alive when they host Geelong on Sunday afternoon. We’ll have live scores from 3.20pm AEST.

Following a surprise third-place finish last year, the Crows have suffered a bad case of second-year blues under the coaching of Brenton Sanderson.

Sitting in 13th with a 6-9 record, their fans know that anything less than a victory this weekend will shift the focus at West Lakes entirely to 2014.

The story at sleepy hollow is a happier one, with Geelong humming along nicely in 2nd place (13-2).

They’ve won three matches on the trot and boast the third best attack and fourth best defence in the competition.

Adelaide’s star man, Patrick Dangerfield, and Matthew Jaensch make way for the maligned Richard Tambling and a débutante – the inside midfielder Mitch Grigg.

Renowned trio Joel Corey, Corey Enright and Matthew Stokes return for the visitors, replacing Steve Johnson (suspension), George Horlin-Smith and Jesse Stringer.

Like most places, AAMI Stadium has been a happy hunting ground for the Cats in recent years; they’ve won seven of their past nine games at the soon-to-be-disused venue.
