The Geelong Cats reserves completely dismantled the Brisbane Lions VFL side on Friday afternoon, securing a 66-point victory at Brighton Homes Arena. Geelong established early dominance and never let up, building a 23-point lead by quarter-time.
The advantage swelled to 47 points by the main break. Bowes anchored the midfield with 40 disposals, seven clearances, and two goals, according to the official club match report detailing the 66-point margin. George Stevens collected 35 disposals and eight clearances to go with his single goal. Mitch Knevitt added 31 disposals and three clearances.
Geelong shared the ball efficiently inside the attacking 50. Rantall, Bowes, and Ballantyne kicked two goals each. Nine other individual players registered goals for the Cats, overwhelming the Brisbane defense from multiple angles.
The reserves result finalized a highly successful road trip for the Geelong organization in Queensland. The VFL win came less than a day after Geelong’s senior AFL squad defeated the Brisbane Lions 117-76 at the Gabba, completing a weekend club sweep detailed in the AFL match center.
