Ben Jensen 4 July 2010

GEELONG CATS V NORTH MELBOURNE KANGAROOS GEELONG shrugged off last week's disappointment against St Kilda to defeat North Melbourne by 35 points in front of more than twenty-five thousand at Skilled Stadium today. For the Roos the match was marred by a broken leg to young Kangaroo Todd Ziebell. The man known variously as the J-Pod and Podfather continued his love affair with the ground, booting five goals in the absence of Cameron Mooney and Tom Hawkins. Mitch Duncan and Shannon Byrnes booted two goals apiece while the the Kangaroos Lauchlan Hansen kicked four.
