AFL 2011; 2ND PRELIMINARY FINAL; GEELONG
V WEST COAST; MATCH PREVIEW INCLUDING TEAM LISTS, TV DETAILS By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery GEELONG CATS v WEST COAST EAGLES GEELONG has recalled Joel Corey for this Saturday's Preliminary Final against the West Coast Eagles at the MCG in place of injured Dan Menzel who did his knee in the Qualifying Final against Hawthorn a fortnight ago. The game begins at 2:20PM, with some tickets left, starting at $79 for standard up to $132 for premium. West Coast beat Carlton in a thriller last Saturday night at Subiaco Oval, in a game the Blues will quite probably be bleating on about for some time yet after missing out on a free kick in the closing seconds of the game. They were also only one of two sides to defeat the Cats this season, by 8 points at Subiaco in July. Joel Corey was in doubt to play again this season with
what is being termed a groin injury; he failed to train with the main
group yesterday and has not played since round 21 against Adelaide after
missing just one match until that point. Other than that the Cats have
a clean bill of health while the Weagles would be sore you'd think after
last night's bruiser with Carlton
UMPIRES FIELD: Chris Donlon (1) Matt Stevic (9)
Ray Chamberlain (18) EM: Mathew Nicholls (15) TIP? Cats by 28 points

AFL 2011, ROUND 16, FRIDAY 8 JULY 2011 20:30 AEST, SUBIACO BACK TO BACK losses for the Geelong, after defeat by the West Coast Eagles at Subiaco Oval last night, the Cats starting off early but the Eagles' 9 unanswered goals which coincided with when we began monitoring the game via the web (audio and later video). Geelong trailed by as much as 40 points in the second quarter, but managed to pull the gap back to single figures early in the third term. They had a realistic chance to win the game in the final quarter but inaccurate kicking and missed opportunities up forward really cost the Cats, the Eagles kicked a little straighter and made the most of their inside 50s and held on by 8 points. James Podsiadly, who finished with 3 goals, had a chance to make the deficit just 3 points with minutes remaining, but could only manage a behind. WEST
COAST: 5.5, 11.7, 12.10, 14.12 (96) DEFEATED GOALS BEST CROWD: 40,164 at Subiaco Oval (Patersons Stadium), Perth
