Geelong Cats AFL finals preparation

Overview

Ahead of the AFL finals series, concerns were raised regarding the Geelong Cats’ ruck depth. Matthew Lloyd noted that while Mitch Edwards has performed well, there are questions about whether the team possesses sufficient experience to compete against elite ruckmen in high-stakes matches, citing recent clearance struggles.

As the team prepares for an elimination final against the Carlton Blues, focus has shifted to player fitness and tactical matchups. Midfielder Max Holmes is working toward a return following ankle surgery, while the team faces challenges regarding defensive gaps and Carlton’s midfield strength.
