Changes:

📈 Geelong have added 3 names - Mannagh, Neale and debutant Connor O'Sullivan.

📉 The Kangaroos have added several players - debutant Sellers, Hansen Jnr, Phillips, Archer and Drury. Unfortunately they lose Zurhaar through injury and run out of patience with Jaidyn Stephenson who's been dropped. Small Negative.

Head to Head:

The Cats have owned the Kangaroos right back to 2015, winning the last 11 meetings - in Geelong, Launceston, Brisbane and Marvel.

Last week:

Geelong led for all but five minutes of the game and looked like they could smash the Bulldogs, getting out to a 28-point late in the third quarter.  They were coming off a 5-day break so were ripe to be run over, and the Bulldogs finished stronger than the Cats, kicking 5 of the last 6 goals but ultimately the Cats won by 4 points. In a mostly even list of stats, Geelong won the Inside 50s - 55-51, the Bulldogs won the Clearances 53-44. 

North Melbourne managed to play the Lions into some decent form, going down by 70 points. North got smashed in all the key stats -  Inside 50s 71-31, Clearances 43-33, and Contested Possessions 148-122. North did win the tackle count 81-62 which can happen when you don't have a lot of the ball. 

What we can expect this week:

Somehow, Geelong are 4-0.

It's hard to see North troubling them, and can see Geelong cover the big 55.5 point line with Bet Right just here.

Geelong -55.5
