AFL ROUND 11 2012; CARLTON V GEELONG; MATCH PREVIEW
Ben Jensen 7 June 2012

By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery CARLTON BLUES V GEELONG CATS DAVID WOJCINSKI will play his 200th game of AFL football this Friday night against Carlton at Etihad Stadium in his first game of the season in a match we like to term the 'Milburn-Silvani Cup'. Long-awaited for his speed and experience running through the lines from the back half, Wojcinski has missed much of the season with a footy injury and a spell on the sidelines courtesy of a suspension following his VFL comeback.

No new players for the Cats this week, last week's new boys Jordan Schroder and Lincoln McCarthy making way along with Tom Gillies, Jesse Stringer and Billie Smedts. Returning are Joel Corey, Corey Enright, Tom Hawkins and Steve Motlop. Hawkins may yet miss after minor arthroscopic surgery less than two weeks ago though the Cats deny this. Returning for the all but crisis hit Blues are Matthew Kreuzer, Lachlan Henderson and Nick Duigan.

CATS HOLD ON TO BEAT BLUES
Ben Jensen 20 May 2011

By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery GEELONG CATS V CARLTON BLUES GEELONG honoured Bob Davis tonight before defeating Carlton in an entertaining encounter at Etihad Stadium in the first game of Indigenous Round. Fittingly for the Cats it was largely the work of Travis Varcoe and Matthew Stokes in the third term that saw them through. Varcoe kicked three for the quarter and Stokes two, and the Cats went ahead by seven points at the final break. Earlier, it was Carlton who dominated, leading by 20 points at one stage. The Cats finally tied the game up just before half time, much to the dismay of the rabid Carlton fans who packed into the former 'Phone Dome'. Geelong jumped to a 14 point lead after Varcoe and Stokes' work but the Blues did manage to tie the scores themselves but the Cats edged ahead once more.
