AFL ROUND 17 2012; GEELONG V ESSENDON; MATCH PREVIEW
Ben Jensen 19 July 2012

By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery GEELONG CATS V ESSENDON BOMBERS GEELONG host 'Esserdon' at Etihad Stadium tomorrow night in a game most expect the Cats to lose after last Saturday might's defeat at the hands of Collingwood. However John Harms believes the Cats only really had a dud first quarter so things aren't as bad as they seem. Only a flesh wound as they say. Still, on paper they are not in a strong position with one of the better players of the last month Allen Christensen out with a shoulder injury. His replacement Jordan Murdoch will play his third career game. The Bombers regain X-factor Angus Monfries and Stewart Crameri. Last time these two sides met the Bombers won by four points, Geelong's first loss of the season.
