Preview:
Despite finishing on the top of the table the Cats will take on the Magpies at the MCG on what is set to be a blockbuster Friday night match in Melbourne for Week 1 of the finals.
The Cats have been the most consistent team of the competition this year but are definitely beatable with the top five sides in the competition all being pretty close.
The Magpies though have struggled a little during the end of the season but had an easy run home which secured them a top four spot.
We think Geelong will be far too good for the Magpies team even with the game at the MCG so we are keen to take the good price for them early.
