CATS IN NARROW ESCAPE OVER THE BLUES
Ben Jensen 6 June 2014

AFL 2014 ROUND 12 GEELONG CATS V CARLTON BLUES GEELONG narrowly defeated Carlton tonight, trailing by as much as 16 points after the Blues had kicked six unanswered goals from late in the third quarter. With about a minute left and the Blues leading by one point, Joel Selwood who to that point had an ordinary night, steadied and slotted a goal from 40-45m out from goal off his right boot. The last minute was agonizing, spending the final 30 odd seconds right in front of the Blues' goal as several stoppages saw the time eventually tick down to nothing, Blues players shattered at the final siren after leading for much of the night. Tom Hawkins kicked four goals, all in the second quarter that saw the Cats pull away with seven goals to three. Bryce Gibbs matched him with four goals, Dale Thomas and Matthew Stokes next best with three apiece.

GEELONG: 3.1, 10.6, 12.7, 16.11 (107) DEFEATED
