Geelong returns to action on Monday for the first time in 2026, heading to the Kennedy Community Centre for a match simulation against Hawthorn. 

Some Cats superstars played their first minutes of the season in Saturday's AFL Origin game, but this will be a chance for the wider playing group to get valuable minutes under their belts. 

The match simulation will commence at 1.45pm AEDT, with the teams scheduled to play four 30-minute quarters with no additional time-on. 

You can watch all the action on Kayo as it happens, or follow along below with the Geelong Cats Official Live Blog.
