LIONS V GEELONG CATS GEELONG
easily accounted for Brisbane
in a very wet game against Brisbane at the Gabba tonight.
Geelong had seven goals at half time, four of them to Coleman Medal
leader Tom Hawkins, while the Lions had not one goal yet. Dozens of
millimetres of rain fell on Brisbane today and this evening, the Gabba
draining pretty well under the circumstances but still resembles more
of a shallow pool than a football field tonight. Hawkins finished with
6 goals on a night that on paper didn't suit him at all. Paul Chapman,
like Steve Johnson struggling with form of late, had two goals while
Johnson himself really struggled. Skipper Joel Selwood is certain to
come under scrutiny for an off the ball incident with Lion Andrew Raines
in which Selwood was floored for over a minute, but it was the earlier
contact from Selwood to Raines that may earn Selwood a Match Review
Panel rating. In the VFL on Friday night Mitch
Brown booted 9 goals as the Cats defeated Bendigo Gold by 86 points.
