What an action-packed first quarter that was.
The Cats made the jump to the Tigers, throwing five of the first seven goals, including a pair to Stengle.
But he will almost certainly have a price, because Stewart’s header at Prestia has caused the Richmond midfielder to be replaced. Surely the Cats backman will make a suspension.
Geelong is dominating the disputed possessions 43-34, inside 50s 20-9, disputed marks 5-1, dispatches 10-6, free throws 8-4 and scoring shots 7-2, while also leading the eliminations 103-100, marks . 25-23 and hits 9-6.
