Geelong is seeking a bounce-back win against a Melbourne side desperate to get off the mark in 2025, while Collingwood's Dan Houston is suspended for two games. Follow the live blog below, keep up to date with all the latest stats , and tune in to . Key Events Live updates By Dean Bilton About what we expected for Houston's bump on Lachie Fogarty last night.
The Collingwood recruit is awfully lucky that Fogarty avoided a serious injury or a concussion, or this one could have been a lot worse for all involved. The incident was graded careless conduct, high impact and high contact. By Dean Bilton Good evening footy fans, and welcome to Friday night footy live from Kardinia Park.
Geelong is hosting Melbourne tonight, a game that both sides badly need to win after a few rough weeks. The Cats are coming off back to back defeats to St Kilda and Brisbane, while Melbourne is yet to pick up a point this season following defeats to GWS, North Melbourne and Gold Coast. A bit like last night, feels like the story will be the loser here either way.
It's a tough ask for the Demons on the road, but there is little margin for error for either side. Should make for a good one for us! Settle in and let the blog keep you company..
