The Cats have won 22 of the last 26 matches against the Bombers with Essendon being on the end of a 40+ shilacking from Geelong in 15 of those matches. To add fuel to the fire, Essendon have lost 50% of their games by a 40+ margin in 2025 and Geelong’s last 2 matches against bottom 10 teams ended in a 40+ victory.
You see where this is going.
The backline of the Bombers is in absolute tatters with their injury list longer than my 3-year-old's christmas wish list. In the dry, Geelong have been attacking with intention putting up Twenty20 scores against their opponents and another is on the cards this week.
Jeremy Cameron leads the Coleman race with 38 goals, kicking 18 goals in the three matches before the bad weather slowed him down against the Suns. Cameron ladders is certainly in play here and I’ll be starting at 3 goals for the veteran and working my way up from there.

The Bombers have had some positive results, but just as last season, they perform well in the softer parts of their schedule but are 0-4 against current top eight teams., while being 6-2 against the bottom 10.
An 8-point loss to Carlton last week which followed an 18-point loss to Brisbane is the form that the Bombers come into this match against one of their most difficult opponents over the last 20 years.
Essendon have serious problems in the reality of the season which will eventually find them out, ranked 16th in turnovers, 17th in opposition intercept marks and 17th in opposition points from their mistakes. They are stats that are going to hinder the Bombers from returning to the Finals.

The Cats are looking like true contenders with the addition of Bailey Smith taking them to another level in 2025. Four wins on the trot and 8 from their last 10 matches has them fourth on the ladder as they continue to do the business against top 8 teams with a 5-2 record against teams in the finals bracket.
Their latest was a tough haul in tricky conditions against the Gold Coast, but the experience of the Geelong squad did what was needed and play the percentage balls while completely shutting down the Suns attack to get a 61-37 victory.
When needed, the Cats backline has done its job, however, it is their attack and forward ball movement that has been the difference, kicking an average of 114 points in the four games prior to the monsoon weather against the Gold Coast.
Smith has made his mark on his new club with an average of 31.5 disposals per game and has clearly taken the pressure off the likes of Patrick Dangerfield to control all of the movement through the middle and has been a vital link.
