What stands out

Round storylines

Fixture cluster
Geelong
5 of 6 top-8 opponents next up

Geelong walk into one of the rougher top-eight clusters left

5 of their next 6 are against sides currently in the top 8.

This week is the front edge of that fixture squeeze, not the end of it.

1 outside top 8 3 in their home state 3 interstate
Streak oddity
GWS
L-W-L-W-L-W last 6

GWS have not repeated a result in over a month

Their last 6 read L-W-L-W-L-W.

Trying to pin a clean short-term trend on them has been awkward.

3-3 overall perfect alternation
