Geelong are the best team in the AFL, they are on the top of the ladder at the halfway point of the season. The Cats had just a bit more offensive talent to rely on as Mooney kicked a few important goals. The Crows had a few stars on the bench, Goodwin played only a few minutes while Johncock and Ricciuto were also hurt.
