GEELONG wants Simonds Stadium to once again become a venue opposition teams hate visiting according to veteran Corey Enright. 

After being virtually unbeatable at home during its golden run from 2007 onwards, the Cats lost three of their eight games at Simonds Stadium last season. 

But they’ve won both matches at the venue this season and have not been beaten there in their last six encounters. 

The Cats take on last year's runner-up, West Coast, at home this week in what shapes as a perfect game for pundits to get a better read on each team's prospects for 2016.

"We want to make Geelong a hard place for any opposition side to come to," Enright said.

"We love playing here as a team and we hope that our supporters and our members can get behind us and make it a really tough environment, not only for West Coast but for any side that happens to travel down here."

Enright was at his home ground to hand over $10,000 from the AFL Players Care initiative to Camp Quality and the club-initiated Cyber Cats, as an ambassador for both programs.

The Eagles have not won at Simonds Stadium since a famous comeback in their premiership year 10 seasons ago when they overcame a 39-point deficit at half-time to win by three points.

Enright, then aged 24, was one of the Cats’ best on that day and is still going strong.

But he's not looking back. His focus is on Saturday afternoon. 

"[We're] looking forward to seeing how we stack up against them," he said. 

The veteran has been in brilliant form in 2016, despite making a late-season decision in 2015 to continue his career for another year.

"I'm enjoying teaching some of the young guys coming through and playing with them - they keep you fresh and energised. It's great," Enright said. 

He is part of a backline group coached by former teammate and champion full-back Matthew Scarlett that has restricted the opposition to just 380 points in six games -second best for points conceded – but he says the credit for that is due as much to the hard work up the ground as the defenders.

Enright said Scarlett was proving as competitive as coach as he was as a player. 

"’Scarlo’ the player was pretty tough and he is pretty demanding as a coach," Enright said. 

Whether Enright continues into another season in 2017 or moves into coaching or another profession is not even on his radar at the moment. 

"[I've] probably been in the same conversation for the last five years. I don't tend to rush in to making any rash decisions or rash calls," he said.
