Top four in Cats' sights as Saints lose six in a row
Geelong have inched closer to securing a top-four berth, with a five-goal haul from spearhead Jeremy Cameron leading them to a hard-fought 31-point win over St Kilda at GMHBA Stadium. Looking a class above their opponents all day, the Cats won 17.11 (113) to 12.10 (82) in front of a vocal home crowd of 29,985 writing was on the wall early, as Geelong kicked four unanswered goals to start the match, and while the Saints fought back hard to stay in touch in an entertaining end-to-end battle, the home side answered every Kilda's engine room battled hard throughout, finishing with more clearances and contested possessions than the Cats, but Geelong's class on the outside proved the difference. With coaches Ross Lyon and Chris Scott content to let their midfields fight it out without any hard tags, St Kilda Star Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera emerged as the most damaging player on the ground. The out-of-contract 22-year-old was everywhere for the Saints, using his running power to collect 36 disposals, his smarts around stoppages to win 10 clearances, and his exquisite kicking to snare two goals and set up multiple others. But while Wanganeen-Milera was clearly the Saints' best player, the Cats had even contributors across the board. Max Holmes ran riot through the middle with 32 disposals, while Ollie Dempsey (25 possessions) was outstanding in his 50th game. Coleman Medal leader Jeremy Cameron had four goals to his name by half-time, with a sublime drop punt from a tight angle the highlight of the match, and added a fifth late in the final term. But Cameron was far from the only threat in Geelong's forward half, with Shaun Mannagh kicking three goals from his 24 disposals, and Tyson Stengle, Patrick Dangerfield and Jack Martin each grabbing only sour point for Geelong was an injury concern to star defender Tom Stewart, who was subbed out in the third quarter with a knee Kilda has now lost six games in a row, with their most recent win coming against Melbourne in Round 12 before the Saints' mid-season bye. Geelong looks well-placed to finish in the top four for the sixth time in the past seven seasons, with just five home-and-away games left. The Cats have notched 12 wins and are likely to start favourites in their remaining games against North Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Essendon, Sydney and Richmond, all of whom sit in the bottom half of the ladder.

Geelong vs Brisbane AFL LIVE: Lions stun Cats with dominant start in Dangerfield's 350th
Loading Key posts 7.27pm Cats follow Penn State's 'whiteout' 7.16pm Gardiner out sick but Andrews backs Lions to stand up 7.12pm AFL score involvement leaders 6.53pm Emotional Betts pays tribute to Stengle 6.46pm Lions lose defender in late change 6.37pm The Danger Man: Why Dangerfield is the most influential player of his generation 6.32pm Interactive: The road to the finals Hide key posts Go to latest The Danger Man: Why Dangerfield is the most influential player of his generation Chris Scott has never made any secret of his belief that recruiting Patrick Dangerfield in 2016 transformed the Cats. On the field, he helped restore a superb team into being a great team once again, leading a new generation into a new way. Off the field, he set a tone that allowed the people within the club to be themselves. Surfing could be part of a player's routine, or fishing, or herding cows. They could shrug after a loss, and laugh heading into a match. A competitive beast, Dangerfield recognises that winning all the time is impossible, while still chasing a premiership as hard as the most steely eyed AFL players. It opened the eyes of the skipper Joel Selwood – the then-Crow's arrival helping him loosen up. The captain's generosity was complemented by Dangerfield's sense of fun and perspective. 8.30pm Cameron strikes for Cats Jeremy Cameron has leapt across the pack and pulled in a mark before going back and kicking his first major of the night. The Cats need a big night from Jez and he's up and running now. That was his 100th goal at Geelong according to Fox Footy. Two Camerons, two Henrys, two Ashcrofts and two Neales playing tonight as Charlie Cameron concedes a 50-metre penalty and Jeremy Cameron kicked the goal. Lions 32, Cats 16 with 13 mins to go in Q2. 8.24pm Dangerfield misses chances It's Dangerfield's big night but he's missed his first two set shots at goal. He just won a free kick within reach of goal and decided to run around and snap the ball, but his kick was wayward. Lions 26, Cats 10 with 17 mins to go in Q2. 8.19pm The Cats must lift like Atkins, Henry did Brisbane have thrown the first punch, and it landed, with the Lions kicking the first four goals of the match. The Cats steadied late but they are lucky to only be 17 points behind at the first break. Jarrod Berry, Josh Dunkley, Cam Rayner and Will Ashcroft dominated out of the middle to have 18 inside 50s to Geelong's 10. The Cats were fortunate Jack Henry held up down back and Tom Atkins lifted in the second half. The Lions are chasing their first win at the venue since 2003 and have had exactly the start they hoped for with the crowd stunned. 8.16pm The quarter-time stats 8.14pm QT: Brisbane 4.2 (26) to Geelong 1.3 (9) The Lions kicked four goals without reply – only a 50-metre penalty has gifted the Cats a goal. They were slightly better in the final minutes, but Lions won that term in almost every way you could imagine. The Cats must lift. 8.10pm Cats gifted their first goal Dayne Zorko is both fuming and shocked. He thought he was outside the protected area. The umpire thought differently, but he was well clear of the kick. He's been called for encroachment and it gifted Shannon Neale a 50-metre penalty and he booted the goal. Lions 26, Cats 9 with two mins to go in Q1. 8.03pm Lions are dominating the clearances None of Brisbane's first three goalkickers were born when the Lions last won down here at GMHBA Stadium. Cam Rayner broke that sequence with the fourth goal. They are killing them at stoppages, have won centre clearances 4-0 and inside 50s 15-3 in a rapid start. So much for it being a fortress. Lions 26, Cats 2 with five mins to go in Q1. 8.01pm Lions go four goals ahead Darcy Wilmot has intercepted an errant Cats kick and goaled on the run. He was so excited he almost did a lap of the ground. Then from the centre bounce the Lions won the footy and Cam Rayner snapped their fourth goal. The Cats are stunned. The Lions are fired up. Will the Cats wake up? If they don't do so soon, the Lions will be gone far into the distance. Lions 26, Cats 1 with seven mins to go in Q1. 7.56pm 'Inexcusable': Smith's 50m penalty Fox Footy's Jason Dunstall said Bailey Smith's 50-metre penalty was 'inexcusable'. The Lions would have had a 30-metre shot for goal, one they could have missed by Smith's remonstrations after a free kick saw the ball advanced to the goal line. Kai Lohmann has followed up with a goal from the boundary, and now the Lions are firing. 7.54pm Lions miss early but are now on the board Goalkicking accuracy was the issue Chris Fagan identified as their biggest issue in the past two matches. The Lions did not start well with 0.2 to start the game, but now they are on the board through Levi Ashcroft. The Lions have kicked the first goal after a 50-metre penalty on Bailey Smith gave them a shot from the goal square. Lions 8, Cats 1 with 10 mins to go in Q1.

AFL Geelong Cats star Jeremy Cameron drops Bailey Smith truth bomb after big win, Brownlow betting plunge
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Bailey Smith has earned widespread praise from his teammates after another starring role in Geelong's 95-point thrashing of Essendon on Saturday night. Smith has been in the spotlight ever since his high profile move from the Western Bulldogs, fined for some on-field gestures and drawing concern over a 'nose beers' social media post. It all led to the extraordinary move of a face-to-face meeting with AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon during the week. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. After that chat, and a week off for a hamstring issue, the blond midfielder returned with 41 disposals, six clearances and 760 metres gained in the Cats' 23.13 (151) to 8.8 (56) annihilation of the Bombers at the MCG. After the game, Cats spearhead Jeremy Cameron – who booted six goals for the night – was asked on Fox Footy how Smith handled 'being most talked about player in the game'. 'I think he handles it pretty well, doesn't he?' Cameron replied. 'He's got a good spot there at home when he gets away and when he's at the football club, what he's done for us as players has been absolutely amazing. Bailey Smith of the Cats takes a selfie with fans after Geelong's demoltion of Essendon. (Photo by) 'We've got his back right through whatever it is during the week. We'll always have his back and back him in to do what he does. 'He's brilliant out here on the field, but inside the locker room he's even better, which is hard to believe but it's true. 'We look forward to seeing what he can do in the back half of the year.' Smith and his new midfield teammate Max Holmes are forming a devastating partnership around the ground, with the latter contributing 36 possessions, eight clearances and 871 metres gained of his own. Fox Footy were keen to push the 'Dash brothers' tag on the emerging duo and Holmes had a cheeky dig at Smith when asked about him post-match. Smith had 41 disposals against the Bombers. (Photo by) One half of Geelong's 'Dash Brothers', Max Holmes had 36 touches himself.. (Photo by) 'I shook my head because he came off with 39 (disposals) and he wasn't supposed to go back on,' Holmes said. 'Clearly he was thinking about my 40 last week, so he wanted to out do me. Little so and so there. 'He cops it in the media and pretty unfairly a lot of the time. 'It's great to see him just shut out the noise on game day and play good footy. 'With Bailey in the side hopefully we're a better team than last year.' During the week, Dillon reiterated to Smith his importance as a role model after some of his recent acts had overstepped the mark. But his coach Chris Scott felt like it should be viewed in a positive light and nothing to generate negative talk. 'I don't think (Smith) felt like there was focus on him,' Scott said. 'I understand that there were questions around it, but I thought it was more the interest in something that's a bit unusual, like a conversation around the fire that didn't really light very well. 'It's rare for an AFL CEO to do that with a young player. 'We appreciated it, it was a step in the right direction, but maybe I misread it and I don't follow much of that stuff, but I didn't feel like it was a negative that would've put pressure on him. AFL CEO Andrew Dillon (right) met with Bailey Smith at his home last week. (Photo by) 'If there's a bit of a sense that there's some controversy in a negative sense towards him, I don't think we're feeling it, or I'm not seeing it anyway, but sometimes coaches are the last to know.' As is always the case with the 24-year-old Smith, he drew a wide range of comments online after his latest impressive display on the field. One tweet declared: 'Bailey Smith is gonna win the Brownlow isn't he.' Another said: 'Bailey Smith is easily the best player in the league right now, bar none!' A third agreed, saying: 'Bailey Smith might actually be a lock for the Brownlow.' Smith is now a $3 favourite for the Brownlow Medal with Sportsbet, ahead of Adelaide's Jordan Dawson ($3.75) and Collingwood's Nick Daicos ($5.50). Smith had odds as long as $51 with some bookies pre-season. Jeremy Cameron kicked another bag of goals to lead the Coleman Medal. (Photo by Michael Willson/AFL Photos via Getty Images) Yet others weren't quite so convinced about his stats and overall impact. 'Bailey Smith the master of the stat pad. Handballs to someone under pressure to get the handball receive every single time,' came one observation. 'Even though he's so impactful, it feels like Bailey Smith wanders around and gets lost within the game,' suggested another. 'Bailey Smith would average 150 if he could kick,' offered a SuperCoach fan. Sitting second on the ladder, the Cats next face a huge Friday night clash with reigning premiers Brisbane in Geelong on June 20. - with NewsWire Originally published as Geelong teammates support Bailey Smith amid mammoth betting plunge
