Round 15 of the 2025 Australian Football League (AFL) home-and-away season will see the 2024 Premiers, the Brisbane Lions, take on the in-form Geelong Cats at GMHBA Stadium.
The Cats started the 2025 home-and-away season in somewhat inconsistent fashion as they managed to face five wins and four losses through their opening five clashes before their form suddenly transformed. Geelong have tasted five wins through their last five matches, and they have pushed themselves to the second spot on the ladder.
Meanwhile, the defending premiers, the Lions, looked like the team to beat this season as they managed to take seven wins and only a solitary loss through their opening eight games. However, that form has suddenly disappeared, starting with their surprise 71-71 draw with North Melbourne. Since then, Brisbane have only managed to take two wins from their five games; however, they have still managed to stay within six points of Collingwood.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
