LAST TIME ROUND 4 2006, SKILLED STADIUM, ANOTHER
NARROW LOSS SENDS CATS TUMBLING DOWN LADDER GEELONG was easily beaten by a determined Hawthorn side at Skilled Stadium on Saturday, in front of a disappointed crowd of around 24,000 fans. The Cats lost by a whopping fifty-two points, managing only six goals while the Hawks kicked fifteen goals, including nine in the final quarter into the wind. To add injury to the insult, Geelong captain Steven King took tore his hamstring in the first quarter, missing the rest of the game and likely the next month at least.
