IRISH DUO MARK O’Connor and Zach Tuohy were both involved as their club Geelong claimed a big Round 11 win as they despatched St Kilda by 59 points in the AFL today.
At the Gabba in Brisbane, Geelong ran out 93-34 winners to bring an end to St Kilda’s four-game winning streak and see them jump to third place on the 2020 AFL ladder.
The Round 11 success sets them up nicely for next Friday’s game against the current league leaders Port Adelaide at Metricon Stadium.
Portlaoise native Tuohy grabbed a goal in the victory and set up another for team-mate Mitch Duncan in a game where Geelong were ahead 47-30 at half-time before powering clear in the third quarter as they went ahead 73-32 by the end of that spell.
Tuohy finished the game with 18 disposals and five marks while Dingle’s O’Connor had 16 disposals and nine marks as Geelong claimed back-to-back wins.
In today’s other game there was disappointment for Meath’s Conor Nash as his Hawthorn team lost 48-32 to Fremantle Dockers at the Optus Stadium.
Nash was playing his first senior game of the season and did score a behind during the match. The result leaves Hawthorn in 15th place and they will now prepare to face West Coast Eagles next Sunday.

A player, no matter how good he is, calling the shots at a club and having more power than the manager is never a good thing.
On one hand Messi gets blamed for wanting to play every game, and on the other, Sterling gets blamed for wanting to take a rest. Seems like footballers can’t win these days.
Overpaid selfish git. Should concentrate on paying his fair share of taxes.
Quite frankly, although there a million miles between me and him as footballers and as people of interest, I don’t like what he is doing, trying to tell the coaches he wants to play every game and to never be left on the bench, no questions asked. While it makes sense because they can’t buy players at the moments, shouldn’t he stop and think for a second that while he’s undoubtedly the talisman, he needs to understand the fairness in letting teammates get a chance when they’re given an opportunity to fill his role?
Probably one of the greatest players there has ever been and arguably the best of his generation but NO player is bigger than the team.After all football is a team sport and NOT an individual sport.Players have their role to play and managers have their role to manage,end of story.
Looks like a smear campaign against the little magician!! To put this just beside an article about Ronaldos petulance is a nonsense!
Messi needs to talk to Sterling
People we must agree that messi has contributed to the barca we so much admire to day while we might see this as an act of disrespect . Tha turth still remains that messi should be entitled to some privliages. You know what they say you never know what u have untill u lose it. I tell u if barca is not careful that will be her case.
