Round 12 - Geelong vs Collingwood at Kardinia Park

[MagpieBat]

Daicos wins a free for holding the man at true CHF, after an old-school KB 'handpass out in front of oneself' handpass.

He sits it into the 50, looking for White... free kick for holding the man too!

After the siren, from 45m, 45d... misses...

Half Time.

Geelong 5.3.33
Collingwood 5.2.32

GOALS - Kirby 2, Hellier, Crocker, Blair

[MagpieBat]

I'll take your questions now...

[CoastPie]

looks as if one end is the active end?

[MagpieBat]

You might think that.

Cats played much better footy that term though...

[MagpieBat]

Collingwood trail by a single point, as we start the second half here before a modest crowd here at Kardinia Park...

[MagpieBat]

White with a set-shot from 45m 45d... misses...

33 all

[MagpieBat]

Ratugolea gets away from Schade again, marks... and can't convert from 40m 45d to the Players Stand end...

33-34

[MagpieBat]

Wills really busy this term. Been our best so far...

[MagpieBat]

And now Dobson disposes of Schade in a 1v1 contest as though he were paper mache, takes the mark... and hits the post from the boundary...

33-35

[MagpieBat]

Crocker's down, looks like his ankle was trapped in a tackle just then. Coming from the ground between a couple of trainers. Terrific...

[MagpieBat]

Schade sucked up the field, wins a free for holding on the Telstra 50m logo, has the set-shot... misses...

34-35

[MagpieBat]

Gray with a nice contested intercept mark!

Goes down the outer wing, looking for Keeffe, 2 to beat, brings it to ground, Blair the crumb, kick partially smothered, Kirby the fumble, butters up does Kayle, spills off to Aish, Jimmy will go the checkside and KICK THE GOAL!

40-35

[MagpieBat]

Good pressure to force a blind kick out of defence from the Cats, Hore the clean-up work on the Brownlow flank, raking kick inside 50 for Kirby 1-out, gets rid of his man, takes the mark!

From 2om, slight angle... THAT'S HIS THIRD!

46-35

[MagpieBat]

Out of the middle, Daicos sends a high kick to true CHF, the Cats defender heard the footsteps, spilt the beans, Mayne, to Keeffe, to Aish who puts the well-judged kick to the square, White with the sit, White with the mark, White with the open GOAL!

52-35

[MagpieBat]

Free kick to Borthwick in the outer pocket, as some Cats fans behind me go full Dave at the decision.

From 25m, on the chalk, Borthwick curls it around, nice strike, GOAL!

58-35
