AFL 2017 ROUND 16: BRISBANE LIONS V GEELONG CATS; MATCH PREVIEW & TEAMS
Ben Jensen 6 July 2017

AFL 2017 ROUND 16: BRISBANE LIONS V GEELONG CATS GEELONG has been on the Gold Coast this week preparing for this Saturday night's match against Brisbane at the Gabba; most players are there but not Patrick Dangerfield who reported welcomed his first child, a boy, into the world last night. Last weekend the injury-depleted Cats drew with GWS at Spotless Stadium; as expected there is one big inclusion, skipper Joel Selwood, but only one other change at this stage, youngster Brandan Parfitt straight back in after one well in the VFL since returning from a hamstring injury. Other first-choice players such as Dan Menzel, Nakia Cockatoo and Scott Selwood all miss. Zach Guthrie has retained his spot as does Hydro's favourite Wylie Buzza.

But the big news this weekend is the two hundredth game for defender Tom Lonergan, who has literally overcome losing a kidney to win an AFL premiership, adjusted best on ground in a VFL premiership, and became a great advocate for Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation. The 33 year old played his first game in 2005, suffered the injury in round 21 of 2006, and was back playing the next season in the VFL. While he didn't play an AFL game that season he did help the VFL side to the premiership that season, named best afield and awarded the Norm Goss Medal. He was played as a forward in 2008, kicking 36 goals, including the Grand Final loss to Hawthorn but found his calling as a backman, playing in the 2011 premiership down back where he has stayed ever since.

It was confirmed that Darcy Lang has a fracture in a leg bone, which he suffered in the win over Fremantle two weeks ago. George Horlin-Smith returns via the VFL where Sam Simpson returns after making his AFL debut, along with Aaron Black. Scott Selwood, Menzel and Jordan Cunico remain on the sidelines, not named in any side this week. The VFL side plays Collingwood at home on Saturday while the VFL Women's team plays the Seaford Tigerettes on Sunday down Seaford way. The Lions beat Essendon on the weekend in Melbourne, the shock of the round. They have a shorter injury list but it includes the likes of Dayne Beams (was up to three weeks with a shoulder but has been named), Geelong premiership player who I'm still sad is no longer with the Cats, Allen Christensen (season, shoulder), and Mitch Robinson (season, foot).

CATS HOLD ONTO TOP FOUR SPOT WITH TEN GOAL WIN OVER LIONS
Ben Jensen 21 August 2016

AFL 2016 ROUND 22: BRISBANE LIONS V GEELONG CATS GEELONG held onto their top four spot with a ten goal win over Brisbane at the Gabba today, with the Lions putting up a fair bit of fight but unable to hold off the more experienced Cats. The Cats looked headed for a potential three-figure margin with a seven goal to one first quarter but Justin Leppitsch's boys played a good system and it began to click in the second term, the margin soon back inside twenty points, the Lions putting in a six goal to two quarter.
