AFL 2013 ROUND 16; GEELONG V MELBOURNE; MATCH PREVIEW
Ben Jensen 11 July 2013

By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery GEELONG CATS V MELBOURNE DEMONS THREE CHANGES for the Cats, all big names - Steve Johnson, Billie Smedts and Travis Varcoe in for Joel Corey (concussed), Allen Christensen (hamstring) and Corey Enright (foot or 'managed'). Still no room for Trent West who remains in the VFL while Dawson Simpson makes the most of his time in the main squad, playing a rare third consecutive game. Just the one change for Melbourne, coming in North Ringwood's own Sam Blease in for David Rodan.

CATS GET JOB DONE AGAINST DEMONS
Ben Jensen 5 May 2012

By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery GEELONG didn't exactly blow Melbourne away at Simonds Stadium today but did what they had to in order to secure the four points, winning by 43 points in a match with a few highlights but not much finesse. Dark clouds were in place well before the first bounce, though there was only a light shower towards the end of half time and beginning of the third quarter. It was a cold day down at KP. Before the bounce skipper Joel Selwood and Tom Lonergan pulled out with injury, replaced by Shannon Byrnes and Tom Gillies. In the VFL the Cats were well beaten by a Casey side by 43 points.
