Cats to play three of four at home

Geelong Cats will play three of their next four games at GMHBA Stadium, with the AFL announcing the fixture for rounds 2-5.

The Cats will host arch-rivals Hawthorn at Kardinia Park for the first in 14 years on Friday, June 12, when the AFL season resumes.

“The release of the fixture has created a buzz for everyone at the club, our members and supporters, as it moves us closer to being back on the field,” Geelong chief executive officer Brian Cook said.

“Hawthorn hasn’t been here to play since 2006, and this will add a unique aspect to the game for all those watching.”

Geelong will then play Carlton at GMHBA on June 20 and Melbourne at the MCG on June 28, before returning to Kardinia Park to face Gold Coast on July 4.

“We have seen Carlton down here in the past few years and Gold Coast has been a regular opponent,” Cook said.

“Playing away at the MCG is always a great part of footy, recent games against Melbourne have been fierce.

“We are pleased that the AFL has recognised the importance of our club playing home games at GMHBA Stadium and look forward to the resumption of the 2020 season.”
