GRADING THE

CATS

Has seemingly fallen off the radar a little and cannot crack into the senior mix, but finding the footy is not a problem. Racked up plenty of the ball again, finishing with 29 disposals, eight clearances, four marks and four inside-50s. Omitted after two games in the AFL team, Fogarty responded in the best way possible, finishing with 25 possessions. Lifted when his team needed and registered five marks, five inside-50s and six tackles. Always hard when you are playing well but missing out on promotion, but Parsons will be ready when his time comes. Had a reasonable day again, gathering 22 disposals, five marks, three inside-50s, four rebound50s and four clearances. Another who cannot seem to get a look in, despite consistently performing. He has good pace and plenty of upside, and his game on Saturday showed that. Ended up with 22 touches, five clearances, three tackles and two inside-50s. The ruck remains the big question for Geelong at AFL level, so Smith would be aware he needs to keep reminding selectors of his value. Had 27 hitouts and took seven marks, to go along with his 15 possessions and six clearances. Might not be too far away from another crack in the senior side. A bit like Scott Selwood, Henderson may be required to string together a solid body of work before convincing the Geelong match committee he is right to go. Took five marks on a difficult day to read the flight of the ball and had eight rebound-50s, gathering 15 disposals at 80 per cent efficiency. Handy player to have in waiting.
