Me at quarter time, staring down the barrel of another shocker - why do I do this to myself
Me at the final siren, staring down the barrel of vanquishing the Dockers - greatest team to ever do it, bay-bee! #AFLCatsFreo
I am going to be running on the high of seeing the Cats steadily mow down their opponents over the last three quarters for at least a week #AFLCatsFreo

#AFLCatsFreo Geelong stage a second half comeback to win this afternoon. Full time Geelong 110 defeat Fremantle 100
Think this one of those results where loser will get majority of the plaudits. Terrific stuff from Fremantle for best part, Geelong struggling. But got to give Cats credit for coming back from 6 goals down & winning despite conceding key stats. More efficiency & nous when it mattered. #AFLCatsFreo
If Justin Longmuir was coaching Carlton or a big Vic club, he would have been sacked years ago. He is wasting a great list at Freo. Time after time they shit the bed under J-Lo. Such a mediocre coach. Dockers fans deserve better.
Also props to Geelong for a the gusty comeback. #AFLCatsFreo
That looked a goal??? #aflcatsfreo
Question: is the twenty year or so Geelong era of always challenging for the premiership over? My Geelong mate from Geelong who lives in Geelong and is Geelong through and through feels like it is. It’s an interesting question. 🤨 #AFLCatsFreo #AFL
Why do these umpires hate KID? #aflcatsfreo
Murphy Reid will anchor this side for a decade. What class. #AFLCatsFreo #AFLCatsDockers #AFL
The Cats are scoring goals using all Mannagh of methods.
#AFLCatsFreo
Geelong play Brisbane goal songs now? Hilarious. 🙄 #AFLCatsFreo
You thought the dogs looked sharp up in the City? The Dockers are making Geelong look lazy and sloppy. #AFLCatsFreo #AFLCatsDockers #AFL
Nice of Geelong to acknowledge the year of their fifth VFL / #AFL premiership by trailing 19-52 at quarter time.
#AFLCatsFreo
A Bulldogs v Dockers grand final would be unreal. Nice to have smaller clubs with not much success in the big dance again. #AFLCatsFreo
Not gonna lie, enjoying Geelong's downfall. Its long overdue. #AFLCatsFreo

Geelong by 22 with a 74% win chance. Geelong v Fremantle @ Kardinia Park #AFLCatsFreo https://squiggle.com.au/game/?gid=38502
Geelong returns to their fortress looking to avoid a dangerous 0-2 start against a Fremantle side with rising top-four credentials Geelong (11th, 0W, 1L) was uncharacteristically lethargic in the Opening Round loss to the Gold Coast, struggling with the Suns' tactical speed in a 56-point defeat Fremantle (6th in 2025, 16W, 7L) has yet to play in 2026 but looked sharp in match simulations, with its forward-half pressure and aerial dominance
Geelong's Tanner Bruhn flourished in a new role off half-back against the Suns, finishing with a team-high 31 disposals to provide a rare spark of rebound Fremantle's Josh Treacy enters the season as an All-Australian contender after a dominant pre-season where he averaged 10 marks and 6 contested grabs per hit-out Geelong thrashed the Dockers by 78 points at this venue in early 2025, but Fremantle has found recent success at GMHBA Stadium, winning two of their last three visits to the Cattery The Cats' reliance on veteran experience was exposed by the Suns' youth, and Fremantle's high-pressure midfield is perfectly suited to exploit Geelong's defensive transition speed TIP: Fremantle by 10+
Geelong sits on 12th (69 for, 125 against) but Freo have yet to play. They’re listed as 14th
