Geelong coach Chris Scott has said it himself earlier in the season, his team have a difficult time beating bottom-eight sides.
His words rang true on the weekend – almost – when the Cats looked as though they would drop another game to a side out of finals contention, until their fourth-quarter comeback.
The Cats might want to rethink leaving things until the last quarter this Sunday as they’ve been mugged by a lower-placed Lions at the Gabba once before and there’s no doubt the Lions will want to go out with a bang in front of a home crowd, at our last home game of the season.
Injury news
Andrew Mackie was "managed" on the weekend, but is almost certain to return for the trip north.
Nakia Cockatoo also missed the clash with the Tigers due to knee soreness. He will be assessed during the week, but is a good chance for the weekend.
