On the back of another strong win against the Eagles, Geelong still have a chance to make the AFLW finals series as they head into the last round of the home and away season.
The Cats have moved up into 10th position on the ladder with one game remaining, fighting for the eighth spot with Essendon and Naarm (Melbourne).
To secure their spot in the Finals, Geelong will need three things to happen this weekend starting with a win against Kuwarna (Adelaide) on Friday night.
The equation will be based off points alone, with the Cats holding a far stronger percentage then the two teams they are competing with.
STEP ONE: Geelong need to beat Kuwarna (Adelaide)
The Cats will kick off the final round of football on Friday night, hosting the Crows under the lights at GMHBA Stadium.
Step one of the equation is that Geelong will need to win their match, to keep their Finals hopes alive heading into the weekend.
A win for the Cats will move them into eighth spot, with Essendon and Naarm (Melbourne) still to play.
Projected Ladder
POSITION | TEAM | PLAYED | POINTS |
8th | Geelong | 11 | 22 |
9th | Essendon | 10 | 22 |
10th | Naarm (Melbourne) | 10 | 20 |
STEP TWO: Naarm (Melbourne) to lose to Collingwood
If Geelong can win on Friday night, the next thing they will be hoping for is Naarm (Melbourne) to fall to Collingwood on Saturday afternoon.
This is the second match of the final round, set to take place at 1.05pm AEDT on Saturday.
If the Cats win and the Demons lose, that will set up an intense finale to the AFLW regular season.
Projected Ladder
POSITION | TEAM | PLAYED | POINTS |
8th | Geelong | 11 | 22 |
9th | Essendon | 10 | 22 |
10th | Naarm (Melbourne) | 11 | 20 |
STEP THREE: Essendon lose to Carlton
If Geelong wins and Naarm lose in the opening two games of the round, attention will then turn to the Saturday night clash between Essendon and Carlton.
The Cats will be relying on the Blues to defeat Essendon, in order to ascend above them on the ladder.
This would be the final result that needs to fall Geelong's way, for them to make the AFLW Finals series.
Projected Ladder
POSITION | TEAM | PLAYED | POINTS |
8th | Geelong | 11 | 22 |
9th | Essendon | 11 | 22 |
10th | Naarm (Melbourne) | 11 | 20 |
