By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery GEELONG CATS V PORT ADELAIDE POWER GEELONG has brought back big guns Joel Selwood, Cameron Mooney and Matthew Scarlett for their first proper home match of the season tomorrow. Josh Cowan's debut will have to wait at least another week as he was named as one of three emergencies. Missing are two injured players in defenders Andrew Mackie (ankle) and David Wojcinski (achilles) while Cameron Guthrie returns to the VFL for a spell. Port Adelaide made two changes, skipper Dom Cassisi the big loss with a medium-term knee injury while Cameron Hitchcock has been dropped. Former Cat Jason Davenport is named on the bench for the Power. MATCH REPORT: CATS FAR TOO GOOD FOR POWER.

JAMES 'J-POD' PODSIADLY COMES OF AGE AS CATS BURY PORT BY 95 POINTS
Anthony Jensen 19 April 2010

By Anthony Jensen GEELONG treated a packed new-look Skilled Stadium to a scintillating display of football to comfortably defeat Port Adelaide by 95 points on a warm Sunday afternoon which included a third quarter that boasted 11 Geelong goals to Port's solitary major.

The victory is Geelong's 24th in a row at home which is the most ever for an AFL/VFL side. Ironically, Geelong's last home defeat was against Port Adelaide in round 21, 2007 thanks to a last minute Dominic Cassisi goal. In the VFL the Cats lost to Hawthorn affiliate Box Hill.
