The Crows trailed by five goals in the third quarter but rallied for a 14.10 (94) to 14.8 (92) triumph at AAMI Stadium.

Adelaide kicked eight of the last 10 goals to steal a victory which revives their flagging season - they're now only two wins outside the top eight with six games remaining.

Goalsneak Wright slotted the final goal of the game with five minutes remaining to give the Crows a four-point lead - the first time they were in front since the opening minutes.

Geelong then had two chances to win in the final minute but Jimmy Bartel and Harry Taylor both missed set shots at goal.

Adelaide had slipped 30 points behind the Cats some 15 minutes into the third term as Geelong captain Joel Selwood and Josh Caddy each scored three goals.

But Adelaide's Tom Lynch triggered a fightback with three goals in the third stanza to help the Crows creep within 14 points at three quarter-time.

Influential on-baller Bernie Vince gave Adelaide the momentum with a classy left-foot snap early in the last term and when his teammates Andy Otten and Brad Crouch soon followed with goals, the Crows trailed by one point.

Cat ruckman Mark Blicavs replied before Wright goaled on the run in the 26th minute to land the decisive blow.

Adelaide midfielders Rory Sloane (27 disposals) and Richard Douglas (31 possessions) toiled tirelessly while backman Ricky Henderson was a standout with 32 touches.

The Cats were superbly served by evergreen Corey Enright and Joel Corey (27 disposals) but the late misses by Bartel and Taylor marred their third loss this season.

Geelong next host St Kilda while the Crows travel to meet Fremantle, both games next Saturday.
