Geelong defeats Adelaide for first time in club history at Unley Oval

Geelong secured its first-ever victory against Adelaide on September 12, 2026, recording an 11-point win at Unley Oval. The Cats established a lead as large as 32 points behind a midfield performance from Georgie Prespakis. Although Adelaide defender Sarah Allan celebrated her 100-game milestone, the home side struggled to contain the Geelong onballers after the first quarter. Adelaide attempted a late comeback led by Ebony Marinoff, with Grace Kelly kicking back-to-back goals and India Rasheed reducing the deficit to 11 points in the final four minutes. Despite this late pressure, Geelong held on to maintain their fourth consecutive win of the season. The result marks a significant breakthrough for the Cats in their head-to-head record against the Crows.
