WESTERN BULLDOGS; MATCH PREVIEW & TEAMS AFL 2016 ROUND 19: GEELONG CATS V WESTERN BULLDOGS COREY ENRIGHT and Jimmy Bartel will be the focus of attention tomororw night at Simonds Stadium as Enright becomes the club games record holder and Jimmy Bartel plays his three hundredth game. Enright racked up 300 games last season and surpasses Ian Nankervis' 325 games tomorrow night to become the outright most-capped player at the club. Zac Smith is back in in place of the omitted Shane Kersten while the Bulldogs have had to make five forced changes, the most significant among them the broken leg of Mitch Wallis plus serious knee injury to Jack Redpath. No Josh Caddy or Lachie Henderson for the Cats yet, Henderson will rest following his concussion a fortnight ago while Caddy may come back via the VFL. These two sides met only six weeks ago, the Cats belting the Bulldogs to the tune of 57 points at Etihad Stadium. Around ten years ago Mark Heenan undertook this interview with Jimmy Bartel writing a documentary - check it out.

AFL 2016 ROUND 13 WESTERN BULLDOGS V GEELONG CATS SATURDAY 18 JUNE 2016 19:25 AEST ETIHAD STADIUM CATS BELT BULLDOGS ON HOME TURF, ROCKET TO TOP OF
LADDER AFL ROUND 13 2016: WESTERN BULLDOGS V GEELONG CATS PATRICK DANGERFIELD and Dan Menzel had a night out at Etihad Stadium for the second Saturday night in a row, helping the Cats deliver a fair old belting to fellow top-four side the Western Bulldogs. Menzel, who it was feared would miss tonight's game after hurting an ankle last weekend on the Etihad synthetic turf, kicked four goals including two in the first quarter while Dangerfield had 37 possessions and kicked two goals including an incredible kick from the boundary line around 50m out. Hyped forward Jake 'The Package' Stringer was anything but, not registering a single goal though kicking three behinds. Tom Hawkins who returned from a one match suspension didn't do an awful lot in the first half but finished with four goals. No Bulldogs player kicked multiple goals while the Cats had five- Selwood, Motlop and Dangerfield all kicking two apiece. Umpiring was interesting tonight with four field umpires, a feature of the next three rounds that comprise six games per round with the byes spread out. The Cats have had a wayward month or so in front of goal but tonight were sleek and efficient, kicking sixteen goals and registering just four behinds. By contrast the Bulldogs were hopeless, kicking no goals and five behinds in the first quarter and just one goal and nine behinds in the first half. In the final quarter they registered a solitary point but in the third quarter momentarily had the better of the Cats with four goals three, including the last three goals of the quarter to make the Channel Seven commentators a little bit excited they may have a contest after all. The final term was a procession along the lines of the first two quarters, the Cats booting five straight goals to just the one behind as mentioned. Hawkins added three goals while Dangerfield's goal of the match came in the eighth minute. Josh Caddy limped from the field however dampening the win somewhat, copping a knock to his left leg that appeared to hurt either a knee or ankle. He was seen on crutches after the game but as the pundits on K-Rock noted, still had his boots on, a good sign according to Tim McGrath. Geelong is now on top of the ladder by percentage from North Melbourne (second) and Hawthorn (third)- the Hawks doing a job on the Kangaroos last night. The Sydney Swans may make it a four-way tie if they can defeat Melbourne tomorrow at the SCG. Geelong plays St Kilda here again next Saturday night before having the following week off with a bye. 18 JUNE 2016 CATS BELT BULLDOGS ON HOME TURF, ROCKET TO TOP OF LADDER 17 JUNE 2016 AFL 2016 ROUND 13: WESTERN BULLDOGS V GEELONG CATS; MATCH PREVIEW & TEAMS GEELONG:
