Friday, May 10: Geelong vs. Port Adelaide – GMHBA Stadium, 7:10 PM (AEST)

Geelong, returning to their fortress at GMHBA Stadium, looks to rebound from a rare setback. Historically dominant at home, the Cats face a Port Adelaide side that is struggling with consistency. Port’s challenge intensifies with key players likely sidelined, and the Cats’ powerful forward line, led by an anticipated resurgence from Tom Hawkins, might prove overwhelming. This clash will test Port Adelaide’s resolve and Geelong’s ability to maintain their stronghold at home.

Prediction: Geelong to win comfortably. Tom Hawkins multiple goals.
