The Cats and Hawks return to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for another chapter in their Easter Monday rivalry. Few regular-season matchups carry the same history, intensity and expectation as Geelong versus Hawthorn.
With a public holiday crowd, two passionate supporter bases and a rivalry built on memorable finals and dramatic finishes, Easter Monday at the MCG is an outstanding occasion for corporate entertaining.
The Easter Monday Rivalry
Geelong and Hawthorn have produced some of the AFL’s most memorable modern contests, with their rivalry reaching new heights following the 2008 AFL Grand Final. Hawthorn’s premiership victory that year was followed by Geelong’s extraordinary run of 11 consecutive wins against the Hawks, a period that became known as the Kennett Curse.
Many of those encounters were decided by narrow margins, helping establish this matchup as one of the competition’s great rivalries. The clubs have also met in major finals, including Hawthorn’s dramatic 2013 preliminary final victory and Geelong’s 2016 qualifying final win, remembered for Isaac Smith’s missed shot after the siren.
Their annual Easter Monday fixture has become a highlight of the AFL home-and-away season, regularly attracting large crowds and delivering an atmosphere worthy of September football. For the Cats, the occasion is an opportunity to assert themselves against a traditional rival. For the Hawks, it is another chance to add to a rivalry that has helped define both clubs over the past two decades.
Last year’s Easter Monday encounter delivered another extraordinary finish, with Hawthorn defeating Geelong 13.14 (92) to 14.7 (91) in front of 84,712 spectators at the MCG. Geelong appeared to have snatched victory when Shannon Neale put the Cats six points ahead with just 90 seconds remaining. Mitch Lewis then levelled the scores before veteran Hawk Jack Gunston struck the post for the match-winning behind in the final seconds.
The one-point result was a reminder of why this fixture has become a highlight of the AFL calendar. Hawthorn will be hoping to repeat that performance in 2027, while Geelong will be determined to reverse the result.
