If there was any question mark about the power of Geelong in 2007 it was dispelled in the Qualifying Final of 2007 when the Cats smashed the Kangaroos. Rarely has the MCG in September seen a performance like it. A tight first quarter paved the way for an avalanche of Geelong goals. Mooney, Chapman and Nathan Ablett obliterated the Roos defence to help set up a 106 point win. The Cats forwards were spectacular but their backline headed by Scarlett and Milburn was miserly.
It was the game of 2007. Witnessed by 98,002 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Preliminary Final between Geelong and Collingwood was a classic. The football was hard, fast and brilliant. The tackling and smothering the best we had seen all year. Geelong might have made the break but each time Collingwood fought back and in the end there was only a kick separating two mighty sides. Here is the game in full with Ottens, dominating the ruck contests in a best afield performance, Gary Ablett at his creative best and Steve Johnson and Mathew Stokes so dangerous in attack. Preliminary Final 2007 - one for the ages.
