Match report: Cats prove too strong, Dogs lick wounds again
July 29, 2016 10:23 PM
A CAREER-HIGH five goals from a rejuvenated Rhys Stanley has helped Geelong celebrate the milestones of Corey Enright and Jimmy Bartel in style, as the Cats claimed a crucial 25-point victory over the Western Bulldogs.
Stanley proved the difference for Geelong, as the Cats shook off a gusty Bulldogs side in a tight and willing 16.7 (103) to 11.12 (78) contest at Simonds Stadium on Friday night.
Enright, who broke the club's games record of 326 matches held by Cats great Ian Nankervis, was again one of Geelong's best players, while Bartel, in game 300, brought the crowd to their feet with a masterful left-foot goal in the final seconds of the match to cap off an excellent performance.
Two snap goals from star Cat Patrick Dangerfield, on both left and right foot, broke the shackles in the third term as Geelong put itself in good shape to claim a top-four spot at the end of the season.
