Geelong Cats vs West Coast Eagles Preview
A top eight battle will be staged in Geelong on Saturday afternoon when the Cats play host to the Eagles.
West Coast heads into this game well-rested following last Friday’s big home win over Collingwood, while the Cats are looking to forget all about another underwhelming performance against North Melbourne.
As is always the case when Geelong plays at home, the Cats are heavy favourites to win this clash by double digits.
The Eagles haven’t tasted a win in Geelong since 2006, and based on their struggles away from home already this year, it’s nearly impossible to get on board with any kind of West Coast upset.
To be fair, West Coast did get the better of Geelong when these two sides met in Perth last August, but after blowing two healthy leads against the Bulldogs and Saints in Melbourne this year, don’t be surprised if the Cats squeak home again late.
