AFL 2009 ROUND 4; ADELAIDE V GEELONG; MATCH PREVIEW PLUS TV / RADIO BROADCAST DETAILS
Ben Jensen 16 April 2009

By Ben Jensen AFL 2009 ROUND 4 ADELAIDE V GEELONG GEELONG has recalled Shane Mumford to replace Trent West as the second ruckman ahead of this Saturday night's clash with Adelaide at AAMI Stadium. The Crows bring in Nathan Bock and Robert Shirley in place of injured pair Nick Gill and Scott Stevens. The Cats haven't lost a match at AAMI Stadium for several years now and will be hoping to maintain that record, although the Crows should prove good opposition; they had good away wins in rounds one and three, but slipped up against St Kilda at 'Moron Park' in round two. The Bookies (Betting Guide) seem to think the Crows have NO chance but surely at home they're worth a punt?

I think we'll win, but not too happy about West being given the Khyber already; perhaps he's injured (or something)? Go Cats!.
