Geelong Cats vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
The topsy turvy season for Geelong continued last weekend when they split the points with the Sydney Swans at the SCG.
There is definite case to be made that Geelong were even lucky to be in the contest after some atrocious inaccuracy from Sydney left the door open.
But on second glance, the match statistics were fairly favourable for Chris Scott and his troops.
The Cats had the same amount of inside 50s despite five less scoring shots, three more center clearances and 17 more contested possessions.
The effort has been there for North Melbourne but they just aren’t winning games of football.
They come into this game on the back of eight straight losses and this is one of the hardest away games in football.
Geelong will be bolstered by the return of star forward Jeremy Cameron and they have beaten the Roos by a margin of 60+ in their last two straight.
