Geelong are set to face Port Adelaide for the second time in the 2025 season, when the two sides meet at GMHBA Stadium on Sunday afternoon. 

In the first meeting this year, the Cats triumphed by 76 points on the back of a seven-goal haul from Jeremy Cameron, with the superstar forward in a rare vein of form after an 11-goal masterclass against North Melbourne last week. 

But this is no time to relax for Geelong who sit in the middle of a tightly packed ladder, several teams vying for a spot in the top four with a month remaining in the home and away season. 

Check out everything you need to know ahead of the penultimate game at GMHBA Stadium in the 2025 AFL season.

2025 AFL Season - Round 21

Geelong Cats v Port Adelaide

GMHBA Stadium, Geelong

Sunday August 3rd, 3.15pm (AEST)

TEAM SELECTION

KEY PLAYER TO WATCH

Oisin Mullin

Continuing to look increasingly comfortable at the top level each and every week, Oisin Mullin is putting together a strong 2025 campaign and was rewarded this week after it was announced that he has signed a two year contract, keeping him with the Cats until at least the end of 2027. 

The Irishman has played a number of different roles for Geelong this year and has been incredibly consistent, featuring in all but one game at AFL level and averaging career highs in disposals, tackles and marks. 

One intriguing aspect of his season has been a new tagging role, with Mullin sent to a number of the competition's best midfielders including Port Adelaide star, Zak Butters who he limited to just 20 disposals and three clearances in Round 10. 

It will be interesting to see if Chris Scott deploys Mullin in a similar role on Sunday afternoon, or if he has a new task ready and waiting for the Irishman. 

RECENT HISTORY - Geelong v Port Adelaide

The Cats have prevailed in the most recent two clashes against Port Adelaide with an average winning margin of 80 points, but it has been an even match-up otherwise with Geelong winning six of the last 10 games between the two sides.

The Power triumphed in the last match between the two at GMHBA Stadium, which came in Round 9 last year and snapped a nine game winning streak for Geelong over Port Adelaide at Kardinia Park. 

VENUE HISTORY - GMHBA Stadium 

Geelong have won six of their eight games at home this year, continuing their strong record at Kardinia Park under Chris Scott. 

As mentioned previously, the Power won the last clash between the two sides at the venue but the Cats have had the ascendancy otherwise, winning 14 out of 17 games at GMHBA Stadium against Port Adelaide since they joined the competition.

JEREMY Cameron has continued his pursuit of a rare century with six goals as Geelong pressed its case for a top-two spot with an 88-point thumping of Port Adelaide on Sunday.

Cameron swelled his season tally to 75 majors as the focal point in the home side's dominant 23.15 (153) to 9.11 (65) victory at GMHBA Stadium.

It lifted the fourth-placed Cats (14-6) to within one win of top sides Adelaide and Collingwood, and two points shy of Brisbane, with three rounds left in the home-and-away campaign.

Cameron, who kicked 11 goals against North Melbourne in round 20, had four goals to half-time against Port under close attention from Lachie Jones.

The 32-year-old requires another 25 majors in three games plus finals to become the first player since Hawthorn's Lance Franklin in 2008 to kick 100 in a season.

Max Holmes (35 disposals, two goals), Bailey Smith (30 touches, eight) and Gryan Miers (30 disposals, one goal) also stood out for Geelong, while substitute Jack Martin kicked four goals in a superb cameo.

Holmes' running power was on full display from the outset, when he started a play from half-back and ended it by strolling in to kick the opening goal.

Scores were level at quarter-time, but the Cats grabbed the contest by the throat when they posted 5.6 to 1.0 in the second term, including three majors to Cameron.

Cats sub Martin replaced ruckman Rhys Stanley in a tactical switch and lit up the third quarter with four goals within a few minutes of entering the fray.

It came as Geelong piled on 9.3 to 1.2 in the term against a Power side that managed just six tackles for the quarter, before the home team hit cruise control in the last.

Now this is a Super sub
The term 'super sub' seems to get thrown around quite often, but Jack Martin earned the title like no-one since Ted Hopkins in the 1970 Grand Final. Martin came on as a tactical substitute for Rhys Stanley in the third quarter with the win a seemingly foregone conclusion, but if there was any doubt left it only took minutes for Martin to quash them. Five minutes in fact, for four goals. Even Jeremy Cameron could only laugh as he watched someone else enjoy the limelight.
