The Geelong Cats (4-0) head into the Round 5 clash against the struggling North Melbourne Kangaroos (0-4) as red-hot favourites and will be out to maintain their unbeaten streak in the 2024 AFL season.

The 2022 premiers have returned to a familiar position with four wins on the spin and are one of three sides that are yet to taste defeat this season.

The Kangaroos, meanwhile, are at the other end of the table, having lost all four of their matches, as they sit alongside Adelaide, Hawthorn and West Coast among the sides that are yet to register a victory.

The visitors have endured one of the toughest fixture list to start the season with three games against last year's preliminary finalists and now they take on an in-form Geelong.
