The prediction

The West Coast Eagles (18th) endured another difficult outing in Round 11 after their first win a week prior, suffering a heavy 66-point defeat at the hands of the Adelaide Crows.

The Geelong Cats (5th), meanwhile are coming off a high quality 14-point victory over the Western Bulldogs at home last weekend.

In the defeat to Adelaide, Harley Reid gathered 14 disposals and kicked a goal, gaining valuable experience against a quality midfield. His effort and flashes of brilliance will be important against the seasoned Cats, and he can expect extra attention.

Geelong superstar Jeremy Cameron was in sublime form against the Bulldogs. He was the difference with 6 goals, 14 disposals and 8 marks. Shannon Neale also snared 5 goals in a dominant display.

Geelong has a strong record against West Coast, including a 168-75 thumping in Round 24 at home last season.

Geelong will go into this match as strong favourites, boasting talent and experience across all lines. West Coast will be facing another learning experience at home, and we think the Cats will win comfortably.
