Geelong Cats vs West Coast Eagles Preview
A full crowd will be in attendance at the Cattery on Saturday night to celebrate Geelong’s minor premiership.
Last week’s belting over the Suns was enough to secure the top spot on the ladder, leaving Chris Scott with a few important decisions to make in terms of selection.
West Coast, meanwhile, has plenty left to play for with the wooden spoon still yet to be determined, but it’s hard to see the Eagles causing any kind of upset in Geelong, regardless of who Scott chooses to rest.
The Cats are currently averaging nearly 10 more scoring shots a game compared to West Coast, while the average inside 50 numbers also paint a pretty alarming picture.
Given the Eagles’ last win in Geelong came way back in 2006, this shapes as another long day to cap off what has been an even longer season for the visitors.
