Geelong v Greater Western Sydney: AFL Sunday preview

Geelong have the chance to make headway up the AFL ladder when they take on struggling Greater Western Sydney.

The Cats bounced back from a defeat against Carlton with a hard-fought win over Collingwood and now need to back it up against the Giants.

Geelong are seventh on the ladder but are just one win away from Hawthorn in third, so another victory will keep them right in the mix.

Greater Western Sydney are just one spot below them but are a team on the slide after losing the last three games on the bounce.

They need to get back to winning ways quickly if they are to challenge at the top and there would be no better place to start than at GMHBA Stadium.

It has been a happy hunting ground for the Giants and they should be relishing the trip.

Pies win a big boost for Cats

Geelong returned to winning ways with a thrilling three-point win at Collingwood last week and now have four wins in the last five games.

Geelong are the hot fancies to win the game and can be backed at 5.50 to win it by either 13-24 or 25-36 points.

Jeremy Cameron continues to be a man in form, booting 18 goals already this season.

The star forward can be backed at 8.50 to kick the first or last goal, or 1.04 to score at anytime.

Giants enjoy GMHBA trips

Greater Western Sydney are in need of a win and they should be happy to make the trip to GMHBA Stadium.

They have loved the venue in recent games, beating Geelong in each of the last four there.

The last two have been very close, with the biggest winning margin being seven points, but a win is a win.

It proved they can dig deep and get the job done, and they will need to do the same again on Sunday afternoon.

They can be backed at 6.50 to nick another close game by 1-12 points.

Lachie Whitfield has been a star performer for the Giants this season, averaging just above 31 disposals a game.

He will be key once again and can be backed at 2.15 to collect 30+ disposals against the Cats.
