Geelong steamroll Brisbane to set up grand occasions for Ablett and Dangerfield

Perhaps the Cats were due a little luck. After so much preliminary final pain – four losses since 2011 – Geelong are through to another grand final, vanquishing the Brisbane Lions on their home deck by 40 points. And it took a key, and controversial play from Patrick Dangerfield and Gary Ablett to help get them there.

The Lions got the quick reply to keep them in it, but the Cats steamrolled out of the next clearance, and Ablett was again on the end of it, roosting the ball home on the run from 60 metres. His career will be extended by another week. And Dangerfield, another great, will finally get his own shot at the big dance.Parochial Brisbane fans can’t blame Dangerfield’s throw.

By the end of the first quarter, Fagan had a problem. Geelong were dominating, even bullying the Lions at ground level, with clearances at 15 to 4 and scoring shots at seven to two. They’d missed with five of them, but the Cats would win via weight of opportunities if the Lions couldn’t lift around the contest.Six minutes into the second quarter, alarm bells were ringing around the Gabba.

Late in the quarter, Neale bombed the ball through from 55 metres on the run; at the other end, Sam Menegola had sprayed a shot on the run, with Hawkins gesticulating madly from the top of the goal square. At half-time, the Lions had clawed the clearances back to 17–21 the Cats’ way, the margin to five, and the game was on.
