Good game of Football this one.
At half-time, the Cats fought back hard after tralling by 19 points at one stage in the 2nd quarter, in a great game of Football that has great defensive pressure. The Cats have all the momentum and could run away with the game in the 2nd half however.

Brisbane are missing Jonathon Brown and Simon Black more than what Geelong is missing Gary Ablett at this stage.
The Lions have been real gutsy today, and they only trail the Cats by 5 points at 3 quarter time. This game could go either way.

6 lead changes in that term, and I'm really enjoying this game. Anybodies ball game now.
They're travelling very well considering no Brown.
Interesting to see if the Cats do to Brisbane what they did to us.
The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
That said - seems the Cats miss Ablett more than the Lions miss Brown - Ablett being a chief architect in our being thumped.
