Richmond vs Geelong Cats Preview

Geelong can secure a home qualifying final when it faces Richmond at the MCG on Saturday afternoon. The Cats stretched their winning run to five last week with a dominant 111-68 victory over Sydney, driven by Bailey Smith’s 30 disposals and Shannon Neale’s four-goal effort. Chris Scott’s men have been in blistering form, boasting an average winning margin of 61 points across this streak.

Richmond, in contrast, slumped to a fourth consecutive defeat after being thrashed 135-87 by North Melbourne in Hobart. Another loss would cement the Tigers in 17th place, wrapping up a difficult campaign. The last meeting between these sides came in Round 17, when Geelong stormed to a 124-52 win at Kardinia Park, with Max Holmes, Gryan Miers and Jeremy Cameron starring. Having claimed five of their past six clashes with Richmond, the Cats are strong favourites to finish the season with momentum.
