Final teams in for Cats-Tigers and Crows-Giants with top four hopes on the line. Follow LIVE

GEELONG hosts Richmond under lights at GMHBA Stadium as the Cats prepare for another premiership tilt.

Geelong (14-8) was in serious danger of losing its grip on a top-six spot as North Melbourne made a blistering start before the Cats turned the tables to claim a rousing victory.

The Cats have now won five in a row and can avoid the wildcard round with a victory against the Tigers, while holding out hope that multiple other results fall their way to hand them a double chance. 

Richmond (3-19) gave up some of the gains it had made with a win against West Coast, then a narrow loss to Adelaide as it was largely uncompetitive in a defeat to St Kilda.

Take a look ahead to Saturday's clash with Richmond, as the Cats conclude their 2026 home-and-away season

GMHBA Stadium is calling on what shapes as another monumental day for the Geelong Football Club, with the Cats set to conclude their 2026 home-and-away season against Richmond on Saturday. 

Entering Round 24, Geelong sit in the top six on the ladder and are in the box seat to secure at least a home Elimination Final, which would importantly see them avoid the Wildcard Weekend and earn a bye week. 

The Cats have found a rich vein of form at the right time of year, winning their last five consecutive games and looking for a sixth when they tackle Richmond, following a stirring comeback victory over North Melbourne last Saturday.
