Geelong Cats vs GWS Giants Preview

More cracks are beginning to show at Geelong following last week’s surprising loss to Fremantle.

With Patrick Dangerfield, Cam Guthrie, Tyson Stengle, and a handful of other key parts absent, it’s not surprising the Cats are struggling to apply pressure and get their hands on the footy.

Geelong’s midfield is severely depleted heading into this home clash against the Giants, a side that has been playing good footy without winning over the last three weeks.

Adam Kingsley’s side suffered another honourable 12-point loss to St Kilda last Sunday, pushing the Saints for the better part of three quarters behind a big performance from Lachie Whitfield and two goals each from Toby Greene and Jesse Hogan.

The Giants don’t score a ton of points, which is a worry heading into a tough road environment, but they do rank second in disposals and rebound 50s per-game – two key areas that have troubled the Cats this year.

That said, GWS has lost 15 straight games against opponents ranked higher on the ladder, although they do own a pair of wins over the Cats during their 11-year history.

Closing out the fourth quarter has been a big problem for the Giants this year, so the Cats should win this game. Given their injuries and how well GWS’ midfield has been playing though, it might be tighter than the market suggests.
