Quarter time.

Cogs, Lids, Hyde, Pettifer and Paddy doing well. Knobel's tapwork got us back in the game after the Cats got 4 in a row. Our worry is the Cats on the rebound. Too easily coming out of our forward line. Who's on Rooke  ???. Richo has got to keep Scarlett worried about him. 9 possies to Scarlett.

Inspirational tackle by Cogs.

Knobel off with an ankle but it's been strapped and he might be coming back on.

Simmo goaled but Ablett and  Byrnes put the Cats back in front. Pressure full-on now. We were on top but Geelong has the momentum now. Need to hang on to half-time.

Tiges  8.3-51
Cats  8.7-55

[mightytiges]

Half-time. We'll have the breeze in the third quarter. 3aw saying it picked up late in that quarter. Worth 2-3 goals.

Best: Cogs, Hyde, Pettifer, Joel, Simmonds, Tambling, Tuck.

[mightytiges]

Simmo goaled but Ablett got it back. They are claiming Tuck did something to Ablett.

Tivs goals. Kellaway knocked himself out but then got up as the stretcher came out  .

Goal Pettifer 

Tiges   11.6-72

3/4 time:

Tiges  12.6-78
Cats   12.9-81
