The Cats have caught fire while the Swans are starting to look shaky, and the venue makes this even more compelling.

Geelong have been on a rampage over the last three weeks, beating North by 49, Collingwood by 54 and Brisbane at the Gabba by 41. Five of their last six games have been 40-point wins, with their only defeat a bizarre loss to Port Adelaide in Adelaide.

Sydney’s primary mode has been found out. Both North Melbourne and Collingwood cut off their corridor handball game over the last fortnight, resulting in wins of just eight and six points. This is a massive step up in class, facing Geelong at GMHBA Stadium against arguably the best tactical coach in the competition. Chris Scott will have a blueprint ready and the personnel to execute it.

Sydney have also played at Geelong only once since 2019, which does not help at the competition’s most unique venue. The Cats are on the way up and should continue their hot form.
