Geelong Cats vs North Melbourne Preview
Winless North Melbourne faces a daunting task as they aim to break a nine-year losing streak against undefeated Geelong this Sunday. The Cats have been formidable, particularly in their ruck work and relentless pressure, leading to prolific goal-scoring opportunities for key forwards Jeremy Cameron and Tom Hawkins. In contrast, North Melbourne has struggled to maintain consistency, despite occasional flashes of promise, especially in midfield performances by Harry Sheezel. However, their inability to start strongly, winning just one first quarter in four games, highlights their challenges. With Geelong’s dominance and North Melbourne’s inconsistencies, the odds seem stacked against a reversal of fortunes for the Kangaroos in this matchup.
