Tom Stewart’s goal that brought the house down at The Cattery

Ben Jensen, 5 May 2018 TOM STEWART brought the GMHBA Stadium house down last night, with this last quarter goal against the GWS Giants who the Geelong Cats easily accounted for, winning by 61 points. Stewart, in just his second year, was one of the Cats’ best – about level with another ‘mature age’ recruit Tim Kelly and Kelly’s fellow midfielder Mitch Duncan.
