The Cats have worked on their skills with a greasy ball by training in the rain in recent days.
"There are a few guys who love playing in the wet," Geelong youngster George Horlin-Smith said on Thursday.
"I think it's almost a good feeling just running out there and sliding around and stuff.
"It's usually pretty wet for a long time down here, so you get used to it pretty quick."
In contrast, the Eagles have hardly sighted rain in the past four months, as Perth has just come off one of its driest summers on record.
Just two millimetres of rain fell in the Western Australian capital during summer, with the drought finally breaking on the day that Fremantle hosted Gold Coast in round two.
"West Coast, I'm sure in the past have played in the wet, and I'm sure they'll prepare, one way or other, for wet conditions," Horlin-Smith said.
"Maybe it does help us a little bit that it's our home ground, but I'm sure they'll adapt pretty quickly."
Star defender Corey Enright, who missed last weekend's win over Collingwood due to an ankle injury, hit the track with his teammates on Thursday morning.
The Cats are likely to name the five-time All Australian in their team, then give him until Saturday afternoon to prove his fitness.
"He got through training," Horlin-Smith said. "He's certainly improved, and I'm sure he's been doing everything he can to get up for the game.
"He's an ultimate professional, so I'm sure he's put himself in a position where he can make a call."
More than 2000 tickets remain available for the big clash.
The tickets can be booked through Ticketmaster or purchased at the gate on Saturday night.
