Geelong has turned their attention to an exciting clash this Saturday, as they travel across the border to take on Port Adelaide for the very first time in round four.

The Cats sit firmly entrenched inside the top eight with a healthy percentage after the first three weeks, despite falling short against a strong North Melbourne outfit last Friday.

Geelong’s round four game will mark their first ever clash with the Power, after the club entered the AFLW competition last season.

Despite the unknown prospect of their inaugural meeting with Port Adelaide, Cats coach Dan Lowther said that his side will be focusing on getting back to their own brand of football.

“For us it's getting back to what we do well, I thought we strayed from that a little against North Melbourne,” Lowther said. 

“But the proof is there that if we do our thing, we go well so that's the aim for the week."

We went to Adelaide a few weeks ago to play the Crows, and we went out to have a look at Alberton Oval and watch Port Adelaide play. 

They are another good side with a strong midfield, a really exciting young group. They are showing great signs of improvement from week to week.” 

The Cats were gallant in defeat against the Kangaroos last weekend, spurred on by a number of strong performances from some of their top players. 

Claudia Gunjaca was one of the underrated stars from the round three clash, amassing 19 disposals and seven marks while keeping North Melbourne spearhead, Tahlia Randall to just one goal. 

Cats captain Meg McDonald said that she was impressed by her fellow key defender, enjoying her time down back as the pair continue to form a strong connection. 

"I've been lucky to play with some great key defenders in my time at the Cats, and I couldn't have been luckier to have Claudia step in to her role down back,” McDonald said.  

“The more we play together the better we're getting at knowing where each other are. 

We had a focus on bringing the ball to ground, but when you can't clear it back out the repeat entries are what get you in the end. 

Step one was to kill the contest, then we'll work on getting the ball back into our front half after that.

We pride ourselves on being a good defensive team.”
