Adelaide flexed its muscles to book its first Grand Final berth in nearly two decades by dismantling Geelong.
Our Inside Football experts take a look at the individual performances of each player...
ADELAIDE – 21.10 (136)
Rory ATKINS – 7
So outside was the game even he joined in for 22 disposals and five inside-50s. Huge in linking team.
Eddie BETTS – 5
Was shut down by Bews for most part but had to kick a couple of goals given weight of ball.
Luke BROWN – 5
Dour defender did what the coach asked and was able to nullify the Cats’ forwards.
Charlie CAMERON – 9
Huge effort. Took a screamer and jagged five goals. Sheeesh.
Brad CROUCH – 8
Massive first half netted 15 touches and kept it going to end with 29 and eight clearances.
Matt CROUCH – 8
Busier than a set of jumper leads at a country funeral for 31 disposals, six clearances and five tackles.
Richard DOUGLAS – 6
Chipped in for 19 touches and four tackles. Supported star cast brilliantly.
Hugh GREENWOOD – 1
A Yeti was seen more than him. Four effective touches and gave zilch.
Kyle HARTIGAN – 4
Got the Hymie from Get Smart look going but played it well. Did his job.
Sam JACOBS – 7
Dominant display by the bloke who has some serious good footy left in him. Set tempo early.
Josh JENKINS – 7
Chimed in to kick four goals and was always dangerous inside forward 50.
Jake KELLY – 6
Young defender did all the right things throughout and was a handy contributor.
Riley KNIGHT – 5
Spare parts midfielder did what he could with 14 disposals. Handy throughout.
Rory LAIRD – 9
Oompa loompa down back was a willing worker who poured a lot into the chocolate river.
Jake LEVER – 6
Played a key role down back; 14 of his 15 possessions hit the target.
Tom LYNCH – 7
Can’t miss him with that hair but Cats seemed to all night as he racked up 20 touches and two goals.
David MACKAY – 6
When he plays well its is usually bad for the opposition because he jumps on board the bandwagon; 18 touches.
Andy OTTEN – 4
Played his role without getting too aroused by his effort; 13 disposals and one goal.
Paul SEEDSMAN – 7
Couldn’t get into the team for most of year but got in and played like a star; 19 disposals and two goals.
Rory SLOANE – 6
Solid without starring for 20 disposals and three inside-50s. Eight clearances and six score involvements.
Daniel TALIA – 8
Dour as a draught horse but did a number of Hawkins who had held comprehensively.
Taylor WALKER – 6
Skipper got mobile for two goals, five inside-50s and 10 score involvements.
GEELONG – 10.15 (75)
Jed BEWS – 4
Had the task on Betts and stuck to it ok but did make some mistakes. Got two-year deal, which was good.
Mark BLICAVS – 2
Struggled. Fumbled, looked slow and was hammered in his midfield match up.
Nakia COCKATOO – 3
Kicked team’s first goal and that was about. Got through the game, which was the ironic positive.
Apart from second term he was never in the game; 13 effective possessions but did kick two goals.
Mitch DUNCAN – 6
Started well but after quarter time he was not in the game at all; 14 effective possessions.
Tom HAWKINS – 2
Two effective disposals in first half and four for the match in what was a poor return from key forward.
Lachie HENDERSON – 4
Team tried to jag him loose in defence and pushed forward late. Not his fault team was crushed.
Defensively or offensively he was not a factor. At stage of career where game has to go to next level
Darcy LANG – 3
Glory lasted one week. Horrendous in what is likely last game for the club. One nice goal but that was it.
Tom LONERGAN – 4
Great career ended in a fizzle but he can hold his head high for what he’s achieved.
Andrew MACKIE – 4
Struggled all nigh to alter the flow of the game. Great career didn’t end the way he would have hoped.
Sam MENEGOLA – 2
Horrific. Most times he got it the ball went to the opposition and was a clanger king on the night.
Daniel MENZEL – 2
Poor in what was probably last time in the hoops. Didn’t kick a goal and was never a factor.
Steven MOTLOP – 6
Ironic he played last game for Cats and was one of their best in a beaten side. At least looked dangerous when he got it.
Brandan PARFITT – 2
Kid couldn’t get near it. Good year and learned a little in what’s been a pretty good season; four effective disposals.
Joel SELWOOD – 6
Plugged away as best he could but was he could without huge support. Looked sore by the end of the game.
Scott SELWOOD – 4
Injured early and while returned he was not a factor at all; 10 effective disposals.
Zac SMITH – 2
Hammered early by Jacobs. When he gets challenged in big games he’s got to find ways to lift.
Rhys STANLEY – 1
Unable to get any ball that hurt the Crows and was an unmitigated disaster. Can turn it over with the best of them.
Tom STEWART – 4
Battled away down back but for the most part he was a disaster area. Great learning year.
Harry TAYLOR – 5
Used in defence on Walker and defensively ok but very little going the other way.
Zach TUOHY – 4
Forget the 22 disposals he finished what’s been a solid year with an absolute howler. Beaten one-one-one and turned it over.
