Match report: Cats crush injury-hit Suns
April 30, 2016 10:20 PM
GEELONG has taken advantage of an injury-depleted Gold Coast to record a percentage-boosting win at Simonds Stadium on Saturday night. After taking a 14-point lead into quarter-time, Geelong dominated to thrash the Suns by 120 points, kicking 25.18 (168) to Gold Coast 7.6 (48).
It was the Cats' first 100-point win since round 18, 2013 and the Suns' first loss by more than 100 points since round 14, 2012. It was also the Cats' highest score since round 20, 2011 when they defeated the Suns at home by 150 points.
The win moves Geelong to second place on the ladder ahead of a crucial clash against West Coast next Saturday afternoon and leaves Gold Coast languishing after three successive losses.
The Suns were overwhelmed and had too few contributors, with seven players managing few than 10 disposals (not including the injured Trent McKenzie). Their skipper Gary Ablett finished with 25 disposals in his second return to his former home.
