Preview:
A 44-point win over the Bulldogs was enough to keep the Cats four points clear atop the table for another week.
Geelong survived a first half scare to race away with six goals in the final quarter at The Cattery, but the win didn’t come without a loss as Patrick Dangerfield could miss this week’s trip to the Gold Coast with an ankle injury.
Dangerfield’s absence will come as welcome news to the Suns after losing their fifth straight game last weekend. Stuart Dew deserves praise for his efforts with this young side, but Gold Coast’s 38-point belting at the hands of the Power is worrying ahead of Saturday’s meeting with the premiership favourites.
Since their inception in 2011, the Suns are 2-3 at home against the Cats. Geelong won by 85-points at Metricon last season before defeating the Gold Coast by 102-points at Simonds in Round 23.
With all that in mind, it’s no surprise to see the Cats at a very slim price. Geelong are 4-3 as the away favourite over the last 12 months and 3-2 on the road against the Suns.
If they wish to extend their winning streak to six however, Chris Scott’s side needs to ensure they treat this Suns team with respect. Despite winning comfortably in the end, the Cats kept things interesting in the first half against both North Melbourne and the Bulldogs in recent weeks. If they start out slow at Metricon, the Gold Coast’s strong 2-1 record as the line underdog could be a nice play.
