LIVE AFL: 'Sloppy' Cats have 'gone to sleep' as 'lucky' Power star avoids disaster.
But the superstar shrugged off doctors and played on, starting the second term in the forward 50. Geelong got one against the grain late in the quarter though, with Hawkins converting on a tough set-shot opportunity to reduce the Power’s lead to one point at half-time. Brown said the Cats had “gone to sleep” and were playing “lackluster” football. And when Todd Marshall nailed a set-shot late in the second quarter, the Power had regained the lead as Geelong struggled to get its kick-mark game going. Farrell was then involed in the Power’s second goal for the term, delivering a short pass to Robbie Gray who nailed the set-shot major to level up the scores. There was a mini scare for the Cats late in the quarter, with Patrick Dangerfield appearing to injure his knee in a tackle.

Bought wrested the momentum in that quarter and there was a bit of a breeze, and they used it well. They’re controlling the ball really well. On how to get the Cats’ ball movement flowing in the second half: “You’ve got to win the contested ball, that’s AFL footy as long as it’s existed. The Cats have only had 32 marks, well below their average of 93 per game, and haven’t taken a mark inside-50 yet. Another clearances here for the Cats, with 40 seconds left... They’ve had 86 handballs to the Suns’ 42. The Cats have taken just 25 and are still yet to take a mark in their forward-50. They’ve taken 56 marks so far. Just 28 seconds left on the flock... Kane Farrell has been one of the most influential on the ground. We’ve got to make sure we get around the ball and trap it in our forward half. Cats 4.8 (32), Power 5.3 (33)

Gary Rohan returns for his first game of the season for Geelong as they bid to end Port Adelaide's four-match winning streak at their…
St Kilda provided a blueprint for other teams in their win against the Cats last week; resisting the temptation to bomb long entries into the Geelong defence and thus allowing their intercept marking game to flourish. Team news sees Patrick Dangerfield named for Geelong despite spending much of the week ill and Gary Rohan also back into the team. Recent losses to Fremantle and St Kilda are far from embarrassing, yet on both occasions the Cats were seemingly in control and let things slip; unable to then wrestle back momentum and re-establish a lead. The turnaround has been one founded in pressure numbers and defensive attitude, something that was clearly missing across the opening weeks of the season. After the shakiest start to the 2022 season, Port Adelaide have righted the ship.

Aspiring finalists Geelong and Port Adelaide do battle at GMHBA Stadium, while the Western Bulldogs host a resurgent Gold Coast Suns.
The Dees lead contested possessions by eight, but the Roos lead the uncontested possessions by 24. The Dees had seven more inside-50s, 17-10, and lead the clearances, 10-15, but the Roos matched the Dees in the centre clearances, 3-3. Four goals to three in that quarter, although the Dees had eight scoring shots and the Roos kicked three straight.
GEELONG has continued its up-and-down season and ended Port Adelaide's four-game winning run with a 35-point victory at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
In a similar range to where Duncan bombed home against West Coast last year at the same venue, Cameron's shot never looked like missing and opened up an unassailable 26-point lead. Hawkins nailed a classy snap from the boundary in the last as Geelong ran out comfortable winners. Only nine of Brownlow medallist Wines' 29 disposals were contested, while Butters, Houston and Willem Drew only had eight, with Connor Rozee having seven. Geelong kicked three goals in a row to lead by 11 points at the first break. There were nervous moments but the Cats cruised home, putting the rest those doubts, for now. The opening goal took 20 minutes in the first term before Jeremy Finlayson kicked truly from a tough angle.
The victory was not pretty but full of merit, coming without ruckman Rhys Stanley, who was a late withdrawal, and with Patrick Dangerfield playing only a minor ...
It resulted merely in a boundary throw-in but his effort roused Cats fans and drew plenty of encouragement from teammates, who rushed in to pat him on the back. He made a big play in the second quarter, charging in and launching spectacularly at his former Sydney teammate Aliir to effect a contest in the goal square. Jeremy Cameron provided the play of the day with his pack mark and ball-bursting torpedo on the three-quarter time siren.
Tom Stewart, Zac Guthrie, and Sam De Koning – The Blonde Mafia – were resolute in the back half, consistently repelling attacks from the Power and kickstarting ...
Both clubs forced the other to play down the wings, which meant there were a heap of stoppages and throw-ins to slow the play down. Usually, I see him as an integral part of the linking play the running Cats provide, but he was more in this one, winning his own footy and playing the role of distributor. Steven Motlop was one of the best players on the park… except for the pass that went twenty metres wide of Hawkins late in the game. In recent seasons we’ve seen both Mitch Duncan and Toby Greene unleash the beast to kick huge goals after the siren, and today, it was Jeremy Cameron’s turn to join the club. And whilst the work of Amon is well known to most, Farrell really seemed to get under the guard of the Cats, and made a huge impact in the first half with his penetrating kick landing two long-range goals. But even though he has an All-Australian blazer hanging in his cupboard (I checked when he wasn’t home), respect does not seem to come easily to Cam Guthrie, with some leaving him out of the equation when they speak of the Geelong stars. The half-back found the going a lot tougher when responsibility for Brad Close or Tyson Stengle fell to him on switches, and this should be noted by the opposition going forward. Sure, I hoped he’d do well, but this is far beyond the level I thought he’d be at when Geelong took a chance on him.. This was his last chance at AFL footy, and the former Crows and Tiger is making the most of it. The Cats were powered by a wonderful performance in the middle from Cam Guthrie, but from where I sit, the biggest winners on the park were the Geelong defence. It was interesting to see Dan Houston take responsibility for Isaac Smith in this game, as the three-time premiership wingman moved his talents to half-forward.
