CATS COME BACK TO DEFEAT BLUES IN PRACTICE GAME
14 March 2011

By Ben Jensen GEELONG came from behind to defeat Carlton on Saturday. The Cats trailed by around three goals late in the final quarter but slammed home six goals to one for an eleven point win. Jimmy Bartel, keen to ink a new and final contract according to the Murdoch press, suffered a typical injury for him - concussion, no doubt the result of burrowing head-first into a pack. The Footy Almanac's John Harms wrote this little piece on what he saw: Theo takes a great leap forward at Princes Park
