Geelong dominated when it mattered most ruling the second half to score a 61-point win over old rivals Hawthorn in Geelong tonight.

Turns out the last time the Hawks played in Geelong he was a teenager, it was also his first win in a milestone game:

I think I was 15 years of age. It is nice to finally cap off a milestone with a win. Every single one I've played in has been a loss.I'm getting used to the running patterns, I suppose, and it is odd with how quick the game goes. Even though the first quarter drifted into 28, 29 minutes, it is a lot shorter, so you have a lot less time back end of quarters to get yourself back into the game.

Instead they sang the song spaced apart and clapping. Still plenty of joy but it seemed to lack a little man love and affection.Coming in after the break we were a bit underdone. We had a few boys limping there so it has been nice having extra time. In saying that the facts are pretty tough. We have only trained three times together as a group of 40. The performance we put out tonight, we are happy with it.I used it before the game.

The Cats kicked 10 goals to one after half time in an impressive performance right off the back of the COVID-19 break. CatsRhys Stanley, Tom Stewart, Joel Selwood and Patrick Dangerfield all reach for the footy during their win over Hawthorn.
