Geelong Cats vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
Geelong sit in second position on the AFL ladder after a narrow victory over Richmond last weekend and they have a somewhat favourable draw.
The Cats game plan worked perfectly in that fixture for most of the game until the Tigers got a hold of them and started scoring quickly but the Cats showed plenty of ticker to fight back late in the contest.
The return of Jack Henry added another dimension the Cats attack and Patrick Dangerfield should return this week or next.
North Melbourne are the worst team in the competition by some distance in my opinion and there really aren’t many positives to talk about.
They have just one win this season and the end of the season can not come quick enough.
Because they struggle to score, the best betting play in this is the under total points because even if the Cats secure a big win, they will struggle to put on 120 points themselves.
