Geelong has secured second spot on the ladder with a 39-point win over Richmond at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.

The Cats led at every break to win over the 17th placed Tigers 14.19 (103) to 9.10 (64) in front of a crowd of 46,109.

It's the Cats' sixth win in a row and it ensures they have a home qualifying final and a double chance when the finals kick off in two weeks' time.

There were positives for Richmond in its final match of the season.

The Tigers outscored Geelong in the final term, kicking five goals to the Cats' one, as Adem Yze's men fought out the final quarter of the season with pride.

Young defender Josh Gibcus made a successful return to the AFL, playing his first game in 527 days after a number of long-term injuries. Gibcus was subbed out tactically in the third quarter.

The Tigers' combination of youth and experience continues to build, with Tim Taranto (27 disposals, seven clearances), Jacob Hopper (29, four) and Dion Prestia (28, two goals) leading the way. 

Youngsters Sam Banks (30 disposals) and Tom Brown (20, one goal) both put together solid performances to finish what has arguably been their best seasons in yellow and black.

Tigers fans also said farewell to stalwart Kamdyn McIntosh, playing his last game for the club after two premierships and 213 games.

Cats spearhead Jeremy Cameron booted four goals and four behinds on his quest to win his second Coleman Medal. He is now on 83 goals for the season, a career-high.

The run and carry from the Cats' mids, in particular Max Holmes (26 disposals, 677m gained) and Bailey Smith (34 disposals, 10 inside 50s, 594m gained) provided their forwards with plenty of supply.

The 'Dash Brothers' were joined by local hero Tom Atkins (27 disposals, nine tackles) in his 150th game since joining the Cats from their VFL program back in 2019.

Geelong had eight individual goal kickers, putting together a string of nine unanswered goals from midway through the first quarter until the 20 minute mark of the third term.
