North Melborune Kangaroos vs Geelong Cats Preview

Geelong’s defensive issues were highlighted in their recent loss to the Bulldogs, and they’re now in a tough battle within the top eight. North Melbourne, despite a narrow loss to the Blues, has shown resilience and freedom in their play.

Geelong has dominated their past 12 encounters with North Melbourne, but the Roos are playing with renewed confidence and attacking flair. The Cats have struggled to defend against quick inside 50 entries and tall forwards, which could benefit North Melbourne, especially if Nick Larkey performs well.

Geelong’s ability to exploit turnovers could be a key factor, as they punish mistakes heavily. The Cats are generally strong against lower-ranked teams, so while the Roos could spring an upset, it will require a significant effort.
