Richmond vs Geelong Cats Preview

Geelong has the chance to lock in a home qualifying final when it meets Richmond at the MCG on Saturday afternoon. The Cats extended their winning streak to five with a commanding 111-68 victory over Sydney last week, highlighted by Bailey Smith’s 30 disposals and Shannon Neale’s four-goal haul. Chris Scott’s side has been irresistible in recent weeks, averaging a 61-point winning margin during this surge.

Richmond, meanwhile, slumped to a fourth straight loss after being dismantled 135-87 by North Melbourne in Hobart. A further defeat will consign the Tigers to 17th place on the ladder, capping a torrid season. These sides last clashed in Round 17, when Geelong cruised to a 124-52 win at Kardinia Park, with Max Holmes, Gryan Miers and Jeremy Cameron among the standouts. Having taken five of their past six against the Tigers, the Cats enter heavy favourites to finish their season with momentum.
