CATS' CLASS SHOWS UP TIGERS IN THE END
Ben Jensen 18 May 2008

By Ben Jensen THE CATS blew away a spirited Tigers side with a seven goal to one third quarter, ending up winners by thirty points to remain top of the ladder, undefeated since round 21 last season. They don't call it the 'Premiership quarter' for not, so it was fitting Geelong blasted Richmond's hopes away. Richmond were in front at quarter and half time, but soon fell by the wayside as the Cats had winners all over the ground in their first match at the MCG since their record-breaking Grand Final win last September. Rain fell pretty much all game, but that didn't dampen the silky skills of Gary Ablett, Paul Chapman or Cameron Ling. And if anything, Jimmy Bartel improved. Richmond had a real red hot go early on but as is their want, didn't have enough in the tank when the Cats got out of second gear.
