Geelong v Western Bulldogs Preview, GMHBA Stadium

Geelong takes on the Western Bulldogs at GMHBA Stadium, with major finals permutations on the line for both teams. The Cats have returned to form in the last few weeks, going on a three-game winning streak that’s taken them inside the top four after a lean patch during the middle of the season. Jeremy Cameron and Tom Stewart have returned to their brilliant best, while Patrick Dangerfield has helped spark the Cats’ midfield since coming back into the side from injury. However, their opponents this week come into this Saturday night’s contest with plenty of momentum after sinking second-placed Carlton in an impressive victory at Marvel Stadium. Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Rhylee West combined for eight goals and were sensational in attack but were bailed out at times by poor goalkicking from Charlie Curnow, who kicked 3.7. The injury-depleted Bulldogs could regain Aaron Naughton, Adam Treloar and James O’Donnell, which would be a boost ahead of this weekend. Geelong won the fixture earlier this year in the Gather Round, coming away with a four-point victory in Adelaide.

TIP: Geelong by 11 points, Jeremy Cameron multiple goals
