CATS PRIMED FOR SEASON WITH WIN OVER DOCKERS
Ben Jensen 14 March 2010

By Ben Jensen THE CATS are pumped and ready for Round One against the Bombers after thumping the Fremantle Dockers at Fremantle Oval by thirty-one points yesterday. Cameron Mooney, Steve Johnson and Jimmy Bartel each helped themselves to two goals, with eight others kicking singles. Ablett and Bartel look set to continue their dominance of the AFL while Mooney likewise dreams of bullying the Bomber backline in a fortnight's time. Geelong played a full strength side, Josh Hunt enjoying his comeback from knee injury while only Max Rooke and Joel Corey sat on the sidelines.
