Despite Kennedy's goal in 20 seconds and a ridiculous free-kick to Darling right in front, Geelong lead for most of the game with 7 straight goals. The Cats maintain possession, with the Eagles lack of pressure and their accurate disposal. Naitanui with a dominant ruck performance, even though the game-plan wasn't bad by the Cats in that area, with Ratugolea in the centre circle and Blicavs on throw-ins to grapple. The premier ruckman of the competition at present. The Eagles pressure picked up significantly late and even though it was in Geelong's forward line for long periods, they were unable to get free to score. Kennedy with some key plays down the stretch to get the Eagles the victory, along with some effort plays to keep the ball in dispute. With 4 straight goals, after kicking 7 straight last week, now leading the Coleman race. Duncan, Stewart and Dangerfield excellent for the Cats.
