Cats demoralised Demons

GEELONG Cats 8.5 12.7 19.10 24.13 (157)
MELBOURNE Demons 0.0 1.3 2.6 5.11 (41)

It was the #101 meeting between Melbourne and Geelong at MCG on Friday night, and it took just 4 minutes for the Cats to register their first goal through Joel Selwood.


The Demons were scoreless in the first term, as Cats ran riot to win by 116 points – 24.13 (157) to 5.11 (41) in front of the official crowd of 34,610.


Geelong booted the first 10 goals, led 53-0 at quarter-time and were 61 points up when Melbourne managed their first point.


The Cats increased their percentage to a ridiculous 160.28, a boost of nearly 7 per cent, and a margin of nearly 35 per cent over next-best Hawthorn in third place.


Geelong's win means they need just one more victory from the remaining three rounds to secure the minor premiership.
