Geelong Cats vs Western Bulldogs Prediction: Both sides have nothing to lose

This match for round 24 of the Australian Football League will take place at GMHBA Stadium and feature a matchup between the Geelong Cats and the Western Bulldogs. The Geelong Cats were defeated by the St. Kilda Saints in their most recent encounter, but the West Coast Eagles were victorious against the Western Bulldogs in their most recent contest.

The Geelong Cats have had a difficult home and away season, and as a result, their attempt to defend their title as champions of the Grand Final was cut short before it had even had a chance to begin. The Geelong Cats have a total of 42 points, which places them in 11th place on the ladder. This places them six points behind the GWS Giants, who are now occupying the final playoff slot. Even though the Geelong Cats won't be able to defend their title this season, they will still have some say on who makes the top eight. The Western Bulldogs absolutely need to take care of business here and hope that the GWS Giants can't pull off the upset. As a result, it is possible for Geelong Cats to dash the aspirations of the Western Bulldogs if they record their fifth victory in their previous six matches played at home. Because of his suspension, Duncan will not be in the starting lineup for this match. Additionally, Ratugolea, Close, Cameron, Hawkins, and Bruhn are all injured and will not play. Tuohy is a substitute, and the Geelong Cats have also utilized Knevitt, Menegola, Dempsey, Conway, Stanley, and Mullin.

Last week's loss to the West Coast Eagles was a stunning result that has put the Western Bulldogs on the back foot in their battle for a spot in the finals. In that match, the scores ended 85-92, and the fact that the defeat came at their own stadium will be a huge heartbreak for them. In what was only the third win of the season for theWest Coast Eagles, the Western Bulldogs slipped down to ninth on the ladder, four short of the GWS Giants in eighth. If the Western Bulldogs are to make the playoffs, they have to win this one and hope the GWS Giants lose their game. Ultimately, they only have themselves to blame after losing to a side that had two wins in 21 matches before playing them last week. The Western Bulldogs are without the suspended Duryea in this one, while Smith (illness) and Macrae (injury) are out. Crozier, Liberatore and McLean come in.

The Western Bulldogs, who are on the road and playing against the GWS Giants, are in desperate need of a victory and will be hoping that the Giants can't pull off the upset. However, their performance against a subpar team like the West Coast Eagles has raised questions about how well they will do in this matchup. In spite of this, the Geelong Cats do not appear to be a team that is capable of doing well to stop the Bulldogs, even though we can undoubtedly expect them to approach their final home match of the season with the maximum focus and a desire to win. As a result of this and taking into consideration the significance of this game, I anticipate that the Western Bulldogs will secure a decisive victory away from home in this contest, preserving at the very least their chances of making the playoffs.
