Geelong will help open next year’s AFL Gather Round in Adelaide after being fixtured to meet the Crows in the first game of the weekend.
The Cats will face Adelaide in a blockbuster Thursday night meeting at Adelaide Oval, one of five games at the venue in what is Round 5 of the 2025 season.
Adelaide Oval proved to be a happy hunting ground for Geelong in 2024, winning all three matches there.
The Cats beat the Crows in Round 3, had the better of the Western Bulldogs in the second iteration of Gather Round, and then recorded a famous qualifying final victory over Port Adelaide.
Geelong is 5-1 at Adelaide Oval since 2022.
The remainder of the AFL fixture is expected to be released on Thursday.
