Party time as Cats, Crows tune up for finals with big wins

Geelong and Adelaide will head into the finals in hot form after both registered big wins in their final home and away match of the season.

The Cats kicked 10 consecutive goals at one point before cruising to 57-point victory that gives them a chance of finishing in the top four.

Geelong are currently in fourth place, but will need West Coast to beat Hawthorn in the final game of the season on Sunday night to secure the double chance.

Bailey Smith continued his outstanding season wit a ridiculous 40 touches and three goals, while Shaun Mannagh also kicked three to go with his 33 disposals.

Superstar Jeremy Cameron made his return from a shoulder injury, starting at half-back before pushing forward in the second half. He failed to kick a goal, but looked untroubled by the arm and shoulder injuries that have hampered his campaign.

Shannon Neale kicked four, while Jay Polkinghorne and Ollie Henry booted two apiece in the big win.

The Crows had an equally dominant victory over the Giants, riding a nine-goal first quarter on their way to a 56-point win that guarantees a top-six finish and home elimination final.

The Giants actually did well to close to within 16 points midway through the third term, but were never really in the contest.

During the last quarter, the Crows fans broke out into a Mexican wave as they lapped up the performance.

Taylor Walker, who announced he will retire at the end of the season, delighted the fans with a six-goal haul.

But it was Izak Rankine who again was the star of the show with 35 touches and four goals to continue his hot finish to the season.

Fellow forwards Riley Thilthorpe, Darcy Fogarty and Ben Keays also got in on the act with three apiece.
