GWS GIANTS vs Geelong Cats Preview
GWS and Geelong will face off at ENGIE Stadium on Saturday afternoon in their first clash in Sydney since 2020. Though the venue is different, the recent rivalry leans heavily in the Giants’ favour—they’ve won their past four encounters with the Cats, including a thrilling Round 9 shootout at Kardinia Park where Jesse Hogan starred with seven goals.
Hogan and Lachie Whitfield missed last week’s match, but GWS didn’t skip a beat, storming to a 59-point win over West Coast. Rising star Finn Callaghan was outstanding, racking up 37 disposals, 854 metres gained and a goal—continuing a trend that sees the Giants at 6-1 this season when he collects 28 or more touches.
Geelong also impressed in Round 17, comfortably accounting for Richmond to stay inside the top four. But with form, confidence, and a vocal home crowd behind them, the Giants will be determined to keep their winning streak alive and strengthen their finals push.
