And I know it's two weeks ago to try and think back.

They did drop some regulation marks in the goal square in the last quarter, which potentially mattered to the final result.

But yeah, I do think what the Crows will love in this game

is they are really good at denying the opposition a control game, and that's what the Cats will want.

So they do take the ball off their position.

They do prevent you getting those mark chains.

It wasn't as important last week against Hawthorne, who do play a chaos game.

So I think the Crows would have watched the way that Carlton defended –

Geelong and they'll try and do something similar.

So think back to last week.

Every time Geelong went backwards and to go out and around to exit out the open side, Carlton just pressed up and they took away those exits.

It was really fascinating to see that

that Geelong just weren't able to move the ball effectively against that Carlton defence.

So that will be the game that they'll learn from.

And you'd expect the Crows on the smaller Adelaide Oval to try and do a similar sort of game plan to what we saw Carlton do last week.

So when the Cats lose, what typically breaks down in the game?

Yeah, it's really quite obvious.

They lose control of their kicking game.

So what stood out for me when I looked at this game, the wins this year,

So in 2026, Cats wins.
