AFLW Cats chase third straight win against Power

GEELONG’S AFLW side will search for their third consecutive win as they travel to Alberton Oval to take on Port Adelaide in Round 6.

After dropping their first three matches, the 10th-placed Cats face a Power outfit who sit just one spot below them.

For both sides, this clash will prove crucial for their finals aspirations, with a win potentially pushing them into the eight. But with six sides all on the same 2-3 record, a loss could put them out of reach heading into the second half of the season.

The Cats beat Richmond by five goals last weekend in a well-rounded performance, while the Power hung on in a thriller to hand Melbourne their first loss of 2025.

Geelong gun Georgie Prespakis dominated again in Round 5, racking up 31 disposals and six clearances. Half-forward Mikayla Bowen played one of her best games in the blue and white, with 28 touches and six tackles.

Midfielder Abbey Dowrick will be key in Port’s pursuit to limit the Cats through the middle, after having 19 touches and a whopping 13 tackles. Geelong will also need to be wary of youngster Matilda Scholz, who can turn the game on its head in the ruck or up forward.

The clash will begin at 1.05pm tomorrow (Saturday, September 20).
