On the other hand, Geelong appears to be regaining their championship-winning form from last year. In their recent match against Essendon, they dominated from the start, securing a commanding 77-point victory. Tom Hawkins' five-goal haul in that game took his season tally to 45 goals, just six behind the current leader, Charlie Curnow.

The Cats have been climbing up the ladder and currently sit in 5th place, six points behind 4th placed Melbourne, and are vying for the coveted double chance in the finals.

Both teams have shown strong form in recent matches, with Geelong winning three of their past four games and Brisbane securing victories in four of their last five matches. However, the home advantage could prove to be crucial for Brisbane, making them a formidable force to overcome for Geelong.
