The 2025 AFL season's Round 24 match sees the Richmond Tigers take on the Geelong Cats in a Saturday evening clash at the MCG.
The Tigers sit in the bottom two on the points ladder but are in a relatively safe position to avoid the wooden spoon, having won five games compared to West Coast's one. However, they will be disappointed by their 135-87 loss to the Kangaroos last week, who have leapfrogged them to 16th place.
Apart from Geelong, only the toppers, Adelaide, have been in as good a form recently, with a perfect record and winning all their last five matches. The Cats hold the destiny of what their finals will look like in their own hands: they can secure a top-two finish, potentially finish first, and guarantee a pair of home finals.
