AFL 2016 ROUND 13: WESTERN BULLDOGS
V GEELONG CATS; MATCH PREVIEW & TEAMS AFL ROUND 13 2016: WESTERN BULLDOGS V GEELONG CATS GEELONG has made just the one change for the clash with fellow top-four side Western Bulldogs at Ethiad Stadium this Saturday night, bringing in Tom Hawkins from suspension at the expense of Darcy Lang. Lang may yet get a reprieve as the Cats sweat on the fitness of Dan Menzel who hurt an ankle on the dreaded Etihad artificial turf in last weekend's win over ladder leading Kangaroos. The Bulldogs have their own injury worries, losing Geelong raised Luke Dahlhaus to a knee injury that will see him miss a month or two, and omitting Joel Hamling. Returning are Lin Jong and Marcus Adams.

AFL 2015 ROUND 16 GEELONG CATS V WESTERN BULLDOGS SATURDAY 18 JULY 2015 13:45 AEST SIMONDS STADIUM CATS WIN BATTLE OVER BULLDOGS AFL ROUND 16 2015: GEELONG CATS V WESTERN BULLDOGS ON A DAY that started off freezing cold but if you were in the sun was a great day, the Cats really struggled to defeat the Bulldogs on Saturday but led from start to finish. It was not the most spectacular display of the sport at times but a win's a win. Mitch Duncan played a solid game after missing two months with a broken foot, while the midfield had to cope without suspended skipper Joel Selwood. The 25,000 who turned up witnessed a fine game by Josh Caddy and Josh Hawkins & Steve Motlop snag three goals apiece. Motlop got better as the day went on and pretty much won the game off his own boot in the final term. The Cats led by two straight goals at three quarter time after a four goal third quarter, but the Bulldogs wouldn't let go, out-scoring the Cats in the final quarter but Motlop's third goal proved crucial giving the Cats a 13 point buffer at the time. A goal by Tory Dickson gave the home fans a fright but the Cats hung on for a scoreless final six minutes. Next Saturday same time it's the Cats v the Giants, Greater Western Sydney ranked four spots and two wins ahead of Geelong on the ladder but have only won two of their last five, with the Cats having won three of five. Dan Menzel is a chance to come back for his first game since the qualifying final win of 2011 on the way to the Premiership while skipper Selwood is a certainty to come back serving his one week suspension. 20 JULY 2015 CATS WIN BATTLE OVER BULLDOGS 18 JULY 2015 AFL 2015 ROUND 16: GEELONG V WESTERN BULLDOGS MATCH PREVIEW
