Geelong remain in the top four at the midway point of the season but after consecutive defeats, they will be looking to bounce back as they return home to take on the Gold Coast Suns on Friday night. 

The two sides met in the Opening Round earlier this year with the Suns claiming the four points, but they have also suffered back-to-back losses and sit in sixth position on the ladder, setting up a blockbuster clash at the Cattery. 

Friday night will be an unmissable event at GMHBA Stadium for Geelong's White Out Game, with the Cats to debut their White Out guernsey and fans to receive rally towels, among a plethora of other exciting activations. 

Take a look ahead to Geelong's big clash with the Gold Coast Suns, proudly presented by Villawood Properties.

There are also a number of other activations to enjoy including a light show, DJ Emma Peters and a dance crew thanks to Karen Feldman Dance Studio.

Head to Geelong's White Out Hub for more information. 

PLAYER TO WATCH

Shannon Neale

Gold Coast are one of the competition's strongest defensive units and they made life difficult for Geelong's forward line in Opening Round, so a big performance from Shannon Neale would go a long way to a positive result for the Cats on Friday night. 

Geelong were on fire offensively with six scores of 100 points or more in seven weeks between Rounds 6 and 12, but they have struggled the past two weeks with scores of 84 and 74 against Carlton and Adelaide respectively. 

Neale has been a strong contributor for the Cats this year, sitting second at the club for goals, first for contested marks and third for score involvements, but he has been held to just one goal from his past three matches. 

With Geelong opting for a multi-pronged forward structure in recent weeks, expect them to utilise their big key forward more on Friday night in what is expected to be a fascinating battle with Gold Coast's Mac Andrew.
