Lions go top of ladder after beating Cats at the Gabba

AFL 2019 round 21 Brisbane Lions v Geelong Cats, Ben Jensen BRISBANE has shot to the top of the AFL ladder after defeating Geelong by just one point in their battle at the Gabba on Saturday. With just over two minutes left former Cat Lincoln McCarthey in his fiftieth game took a hanger of a mark 25m from goal, coolly going back to slot the winning goal.

LINC MCCARTHY HAS DONE IT AGAIN!
