Match report: Eagles travel woes continue as Cats roll on
May 7, 2016 4:45 PM
RESURGENT Geelong's blistering start to 2016 has continued with a 44-point hammering of a disappointing West Coast outfit, which will be facing the blowtorch after another sub-standard effort on the road.
In what loomed as Geelong's biggest test since an Easter Monday triumph over Hawthorn, the Cats dominated the second term and withstood a third-quarter Eagles blitz to notch a 18.15 (123) to 12.7 (79) victory at Simonds Stadium.
A packed house at the Cattery was treated to an impressive display and the hype is bubbling away with Chris Scott's men climbing to the top of the AFL ladder courtesy of their fifth-straight win.
After an arm-wrestle with both sides sizing each other up in the opening term, the Cats found their range and blew Saturday's clash wide-open with a seven-goal-to-one second term. Twin terrors Joel Selwood and Patrick Dangerfield ran rampant, but it was livewire Steven Motlop who stole the show.
Motlop bagged three of his four majors – and handed off another on a silver platter to Tom Hawkins – as the Cats went to the rooms 35 points in front.
Weiterlesen ...The margin ballooned to 51 points midway through the third term and the Cats' percentage looked poised for an even bigger boost until the Eagles finally sprung to life with five goals in a stunning seven-minute blitzkrieg.
