Geelong have celebrated another milestone with another win after hanging on to beat the Western Bulldogs by four points on Saturday night. Five days after defeating Hawthorn in Tom Hawkins’ 350th game, the Cats again stood tall for Mark Blicavs in his 250th game. The Cats led for much of the night but had to hold on late as the Dogs set up a grandstand finish in the thrilling final minutes.

Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore was unbelievable with 19 contested possessions and 12 clearances, while captain Marcus Bontempelli also impressed and key defender Liam Jones blanketed Cats key forward Tom Hawkins. But Geelong were more polished for most of the game. Every time the Cats looked ready to kick clear in the first half, the Bulldogs responded to keep it tight. Geelong led by nine points at the main break and kicked two goals early in the third.
