Giant Victory for Cats
It was looking
to be the upset of the round at quarter time will the Giants leading the Cats
by three goals 5.3.33 to 2.3.15. true to what you’d expect, Chris Scott let the
Cats have it. He was not a happy man (I’ll post a video of the spray later). What
ever he said to them worked to some extent in the 2nd as the Cats held
a slim 8 point lead at halftime 9.5.59 to 10.7.67. To the Giants credit, they
held on to be only behind by two goals at three-quarter time before Geelong
piled on 8 goals to 1 goal in the final term to take 15.8.98 to 24.13.157 59
point victory. Fair to say it wasn’t the walk over everyone probably expected
and I think Sheedy would be pleased to see his young, inexperienced side put a
fight against finals contenders, even if it was for three quarters.
Selwood was best
on ground for the cats with 29 disposals, 13 kicks, 16 handballs, 6 marks, 7
tackles and scored 2.1. Podsiadly also kicked 5 goals for the Cats. Best on
ground for the Giants, was Ward: 30 disposals, 14 kicks, 16 handballs, 8 marks,
1 tackle and scored a goal.
The Cats enjoy a
bye before continuing their top of the table arm-wrestle with Hawthorn by
facing Brisbane while the Giants have a winnable game against Port Adelaide who
come off a bye at Skoda Stadium. If the Giants play like they did for three
quarters against the Cats for the whole game against the Power, they could
cause an upset and take their first win for the season.
