"There are some rivalries in sports that stand the test of time, not simply because two fanbases are fuelled by hatred for each other, but because the two teams involved are so consistently successful that whenever they meet, the stakes are incredibly high.

"Take Barcelona and Real Madrid or the All Blacks and Springboks. It doesn't matter when these sides meet, there's always a sense of extra edge to the fixture.

"You can throw Hawthorn and Geelong into that category too.

"While this is the first September fixture between the two clubs since 2016, and the Cats enter as significant favourites, it's undeniable that form, recent history and even the venue doesn't matter when these sides play for a spot in the Grand Final on Friday night."
