    Week 10 | AFLW Match Preview

    Everything you need to know ahead of Geelong's big clash with Kuwarna (Adelaide) on Friday night

    Geelong return home for their final game of the 2024 home and away season, taking on Kuwarna (Adelaide) tonight under the lights at GMHBA Stadium.

    The scenario is an intriguing one heading towards the AFLW Finals series, with Geelong needing a win tonight to keep their Finals aspirations alive.

    If the Cats can defeat the Crows they will then rely on the other results falling their way, needing Naarm (Melbourne) and Essendon to lose their last game.

    The challenge ahead is another tough one for the Cats, taking on Kuwarna (Adelaide) who currently sit in the top four with one game remaining.

    Match Details 

    Geelong Cats v Kuwarna (Adelaide)
    7.15pm AEDT, Friday November 1
    GMHBA Stadium, Geelong

    Last Time We Met

    Geelong last faced Adelaide in 2022 (Season 7), a nail-biting contest that saw the Cats fall by two-points at Thomas Farms Oval. 

    Nothing separated the two teams for much of the day, but Geelong could not find a match winning goal late in the quarter. 

    Georgie Prespakis (23 disposals, seven clearances) and Amy McDonald (23 disposals, seven clearances) were both superb, while Chantel Emonson (19 disposals) had a big impact off half back.

    AFLW Match Report | Cats Fall Agonisingly Short in Final Game of 2024

    Geelong's season has come to a close after a narrow four point loss to Kuwarna (Adelaide) on Friday night

    Geelong's 2024 season has come to a close on Friday night, falling four points short in an enthralling contest with Kuwarna (Adelaide) at GMHBA Stadium. 

    The Cats started brilliantly to take a 14 point lead at half-time, but were well held after the main break to fall 4.8 (32) to 4.4 (28) in front of a vocal crowd of 2,233.

    CATS v CROWS - Full match coverage and stats

    It was a game of two halves, Geelong starting the game with flare and ferocity knowing its season was on the line. 

    A win for the Cats would have kept them in finals contention but a loss meant their season was over, and from the first bounce it was plain to see that Geelong didn't want this to be its last game for the season.

    06:01

    The home side played with purpose and pace in the opening half using run, carry and handball receives off half-back to open the game up and get quick entries into their dangerous forwards.

    Geelong's Zali Friswell (17 disposals, 10 handball receives) and Becky Webster (23 disposals, 556m gained) led the way, putting speed on the ball through the middle and catching Adelaide's defenders off-guard.

    It wasn't long before the Cats were on the board, with Georgie Prespakis opening the scoring with one of her signature right foot bananas from the front and centre of a marking contest.

    Up the other end, Kurwana's goal kicking woes continued from last week, scoring four behinds from its four shots on goal in the first quarter.

    The Cats on the other hand continued to add to their goal tally with veteran Shelley Scott and small forward Kate Surman adding majors to start the second term.

    Eight minutes into the second quarter, the Crows finally got their first when reliable tall Caitlin Gould converted from a set shot directly in front.

    But momentum quickly shifted back to the Cats when 50-gamer Nina Morrison (25 disposals, 10 tackles) showed her dash through the middle of the ground and was pushed when she kicked, giving a down-field free kick to Jackie Parry. Parry's goal extended the Cats' lead to 14 points at the main break.

    A different looking Kuwarna came out after the half-time, with the Crows applying greater pressure around the ball and converting their opportunities in front of goal.

    00:42

    They kicked the only two goals of the third term through Gould and Anne Hatchard, leaving the Cats trailing by one-point heading into the final term.

    The Cats continued to charge with the help of the home crowd cheering on loudly from the sidelines in the final term, but they were unable to score a major with the Crows holding on to win by four points.

    GEELONG      1.1    4.1    4.1    4.4   (28)
    KUWARNA     0.4    1.5    3.8    4.8   (32)

    Morrison's milestone
    Nina Morrison’s journey to 50 games has had more obstacles than most. The former No.1 draft pick devastatingly ruptured her ACL twice in her first two seasons, meaning the young star only played seven games from 2019-2021. The classy mid with excellent decision making skills was never going to let her ACL injuries define her career, and her determination and dedication saw her return to the field in season seven. Since then the star has been able to play with more consistency, adding a further 43 games. Morrison is proof that hard work does pay off, and at only 23-years-of-age, you feel like there are plenty of games left for this Cats star.
