AFL 2013 ROUND 13; BRISBANE V GEELONG; MATCH PREVIEW, FINAL TEAMS
Ben Jensen 22 June 2013

By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery BRISBANE LIONS V GEELONG CATS NATHAN VARDY is out of the side to play Brisbane at the Gabba tomorrow evening, replaced by Dawson Simpson on Saturday morning. Also out is Trent West, so it will be Simpson and the returning Mark Blicavs in the ruck. Geelong's injury list is getting a bit of a worry with the likes of Paul Chapman and Travis Varcoe still listed as indefinite and big men Vardy and West missing with back complaints. Jared Rivers continues to struggle with a knee injury while Josh Caddy is back fit, albeit in the VFL.

The two Taylors, Harry and Hunt, are also back along with Steven Motlop. Missing along with Vardy and West are Mitchell Brown, Billie Smedts and Jackson Thurlow. The Lions have made three changes, bringing back former Cat Brent Moloney, Daniel Merrett and Jonathan Brown who is back from suspension.

CATS POUND LIONS AT LAKE GABBA
Ben Jensen 28 April 2012

GEELONG easily accounted for Brisbane in a very wet game against Brisbane at the Gabba tonight. Geelong had seven goals at half time, four of them to Coleman Medal leader Tom Hawkins, while the Lions had not one goal yet. Dozens of millimetres of rain fell on Brisbane today and this evening, the Gabba draining pretty well under the circumstances but still resembles more of a shallow pool than a football field tonight. Hawkins finished with 6 goals on a night that on paper didn't suit him at all. Paul Chapman, like Steve Johnson struggling with form of late, had two goals while Johnson himself really struggled. Skipper Joel Selwood is certain to come under scrutiny for an off the ball incident with Lion Andrew Raines in which Selwood was floored for over a minute, but it was the earlier contact from Selwood to Raines that may earn Selwood a Match Review Panel rating. In the VFL on Friday night Mitch Brown booted 9 goals as the Cats defeated Bendigo Gold by 86 points.
