Geelong will host Adelaide on Saturday afternoon at GMHBA Stadium, looking to stay within striking distance of the top four entering the final month of the home and away season.  

Coming off a big win over North Melbourne last week, the Cats sit in sixth position on the ladder but only two points separate second down to seventh.  

Adelaide are all but out of the race for finals down in 15th place, but have nothing to lose this week and will provide a dangerous challenge for Geelong to overcome.  

The Cats last month will commence with the Crows at GMHBA Stadium, with clashes still to come against Fremantle (Optus Stadium), St Kilda (Marvel Stadium) and West Coast (GMHBA Stadium).
