AFL PREMIERSHIP SEASON 2008 ROUND
11; NORTH MELBOURNE V GEELONG; MATCH PREVIEW PLUS TV / RADIO BROADCAST
DETAILS By Ben Jensen NORTH
MELBOURNE V GEELONG GEELONG are hosted by newly-renamed North
Melbourne at Telstra Dome this Friday night, a match finally covered
live in Setanta Sports (but don't get used to it). Last time the two
sides met, the Cats tore the Roos a proverbial new one, winning by a
lazy one hundred and six points at the MCG in a qualifying final. Geelong's
two inclusions, forwards Cameron Mooney and Paul Chapman, each kicked
five goals that day, and will be looking to repeat the feat. MATCH REVIEW AND RESULT - CATS PREVAIL OVER KANGAROOS IN NAIL BITER AT DOME
TIP? Geelong by 60 points - not quite a massacre but enough of an embarassment for a Friday night.

CATS DESTROY KANGAROOS, THROUGH TO PRELIMINARY FINAL By Ben Jensen GEELONG CATS V KANGAROOS GEELONG comprehensively thrashed the Kangaroos by one hundred and six points in front of 77,630 at the MCG on a brilliant September afternoon today. The Cats earn the week off and will face the winner of West Coast and Collingwood in the first Preliminary Final, probably on the Friday night, at the MCG. The core of the 2002 VFL Premiership team are determined to go one better in the AFL in three weeks' time, and won't be satisfied with anything less. 10 SEPTEMBER 2007 CATS DESTROY KANGAROOS, THROUGH TO PRELIMINARY FINAL
