This weekend, the AFL\u2019s best and worst final-quarter teams go head-to-head when Geelong face Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\n

The Cats have been the strongest finishers in 2025, going 8-1 in final quarters with a percentage of 232. That means they are outscoring opponents by nearly three goals on average in the last term.<\/p>\n

Port Adelaide, on the other hand, are yet to win a final quarter this season. They are 0-9 with a percentage of just 50, losing the final term by almost 13 points on average.<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on the last quarter on Saturday.<\/p>\n
