Ben Jensen 12 April 2014

By Ben Jensen GEELONG CATS V WEST COAST EAGLES A LATE CHANGE for the Eagles ahead of tonight's clash with The Cats - midfielder Matt Rosa reported as being ill, his replacement Patrick McGinnity.

Geelong's substitute for the match is Josh Caddy; with McGinnity West Coast's sub. The final interchanges are Mathew Stokes, George Horlin-Smith, Mark Blicavs for the Cats and Dom Sheed, Sam Butler, Scott Lycett for the Eagles.

UNDEFEATED GEELONG takes on top of the ladder West Coast tonight at Simonds Stadium. The Cats belted the Eagles by 66 points last time these two sides met, last August at Subiaco.

Back for the Cats are Corey Enright and Taylor Hunt - Enright back from injury and Hunt suspension following the round 2 win over Brisbane at the Gabba. Out for the Cats are Mitchell Brown with an ankle injury and Jackson Sherringham who goes back to the VFL.

The Eagles have made FIVE changes, four of them forced by injury or suspension and one (Callum Sinclair) omitted. Significant outs are full back Darren Glass and midfield/forward Mark LeCras.

In the VFL the Cats take on Casey Scorpions after beating Bendigo Gold by 47 points at Bendigo's Queen Elizabeth Oval last week.

The umpires for the match were named on Friday - the field umpires being Luke Farmer, Brett Rosebury, Nick Foot with the emergency Troy Pannell.

In local footy South Barwon led by coach Casey Tutungi unfurled the 2013 GFL premiership flag which they won over Grovedale last year.

CATS SPANK EAGLES IN THE WEST
Ben Jensen 17 August 2013

AFL ROUND 21 2013 WEST COAST EAGLES V GEELONG CATS GEELONG FLOGGED West Coast at Subiaco this evening. Another four goals, best on ground and surely three votes for Joel Selwood who followed his BOG against Port last week with a superb display again tonight. The Cats were well on top of the Eagles midway through the second quarter, finding themselves fifty six points up at half time. They extended the margin to seventy points at three quarter time before putting the cue in the rack to a certain degree in the last, kicking just the one goal to West Coast's two to finish sixty-six point winners. Best on ground to half time was probably Steven Motlop who was taken off and replaced with substitute Josh Caddy after developing hamstring soreness. Eagle ruckman Dean Cox was reported for striking Selwood in the third quarter in an off the ball incident.
