Geelong Cats vs West Coast Eagles Preview
Geelong returns to more familiar territory after a narrow loss to Hawthorn, with Bailey Smith continuing his strong form and Ollie Henry providing a reliable scoring option. The Cats now face a West Coast side that struggled badly against Sydney, particularly with ball movement out of defence. The Eagles’ inability to handle pressure was exposed, and that shapes as a major concern against Geelong’s well-drilled system. With a strong record at home and superior structure, the Cats are well positioned to bounce back emphatically.
