Geelong Cats vs Richmond Tigers Preview
The Cats have faced an unusual setback with consecutive losses at their stronghold of Kardinia Park, a rare occurrence indeed. Despite their earlier unbeaten streak, they now find themselves in the midst of a fight for a top-eight spot. Richmond, while valiant in their recent Dreamtime clash against Essendon, struggled defensively, particularly in transition. Traveling to the Cattery, where they haven’t won since 2006, presents a daunting challenge. The Cats’ defensive lapses in recent matches have been concerning, but their offensive prowess, especially at GMHBA Stadium, remains formidable. Richmond’s chances may hinge on someone stepping up in the absence of a vintage Dusty performance. However, their midfield depth issues could hinder their ability to compete throughout the game.
