CATS IN DESTROYATION OF EAGLES
Anthony Jensen 22 June 2008

By Anthony Jensen West Coast tried unsuccessfully to claw its way off the bottom 2 of the ladder at Subiaco tonight, with Geelong running away 135 point victors, a record win over the Eagles on that ground which was due in the most part to some more Gary Ablett brilliance in his 37 touches.

David Wojcinski was a late inclusion for Mathew Stokes, which may have prompted Geelong coach Mark Thompson’s decision to move Max Rooke forward.
