Geelong v GWS, GMHBA Stadium

These teams appeared to be heading for a grand final a month ago, but the Cats and the
Giants have both lost three matches in a row. Geelong have dealt with some injury absences
and stuck to resting their veterans. The defeat to Melbourne was understandable, but losses
to Port Adelaide (at home) and Gold Coast (a belting in Darwin) gave more reason to be
concerned. Geelong rarely drop milestone matches – especially at Kardinia Park – and they
will be determined to win for Tom Hawkins as he breaks Joel Selwood’s record for most
games played at the Cats.

TIP: Geelong by 13 points, Ollie Henry to kick two or more goals

Geelong always presents a tough challenge at GMHBA Stadium, where their home-ground advantage usually plays a massive role. Considering recent head-to-head results and current ladder momentum, evaluating midfield clearance stats is key before finalising your AFL Betting Tips. This upcoming AFL Prediction hinges heavily on how effectively GWS can defend against Geelong’s quick transitions down the narrow corridor.
