AFL OFFICIAL PLAY x2

1ST H - CATS -21.5 (x3)
ATS - CATS -39.5 (x2)
ADDING:
2ND H - CATS -19.5 (x5) (GAME LINE -21.5)

After starting the season 13-0 the Cats now face the possibility of dropping 3 in a row! But against the Lions..... Not likely, even @ the Gabba.

Geelong will welcome back their young leader Joel Selwood this week after serving his time as well as Mackie and Hawkins. I expect Selwood to be like a caged animal just release her today and Hawk will be hungry also, wanting to claim his spot in the best 22. They lose Ottens through suspension and Wojo, Duncan and Menzel take a spell. The Cats continue this rotation policy, whether it works only time will tell, but I feel they need to settle their line up from this point on. The Lions gain some pretty important players this week with Clark and Staker back. Their side looks ok on paper in fact.

The one area that does concern me a little is the fact the Cats entre thus game with one recognized ruck man in young Vardy. Hawkins will give him a breather but it looks like Scott has put the challenge to his young ruckman to carry the load for most of the day. While he does show a lot of potential this will be a big ask against Clark and the Berger. Even so the Cats look far more superior in all other areas on the ground.

Geelong has a very daunting record against these Lions having belted them on a number of occasions and on the back of 2 loses I expect them to be hungry for a big kill! Cats are terrific starters and I expect this one to be out of the Lions reach early and comfortably cover the line. Cats by 10 goals!
