GWS GIANTS vs Geelong Cats Preview

GWS and Geelong will renew hostilities at ENGIE Stadium on Saturday afternoon in their first Sydney meeting since 2020. While the venue has changed, recent history favours the Giants, who have claimed four straight wins over the Cats—including a high-scoring Round 9 thriller at Kardinia Park, highlighted by Jesse Hogan’s seven-goal masterclass.

Hogan and Lachie Whitfield were both sidelined last weekend, but the Giants didn’t miss a beat, dismantling West Coast by 59 points. Rising midfielder Finn Callaghan starred with 37 disposals, 854 metres gained and a goal, underlining his growing influence—GWS is 6-1 this season when he reaches 28 touches or more.

Geelong also cruised to victory in Round 17, thrashing Richmond to retain their top-four standing. However, with momentum and home support on their side, the Giants will be eager to extend their winning run over the Cats and further cement their finals credentials.
