Geelong’s second-half masterclass meant they had no trouble in sweeping past Hawthorn 108-47 at the GMHBA Stadium with both Kerry’s O’Connor and Laois star Tuohy featuring in a game played behind closed doors.
Sound effects are the way to go for other sports returning without fans. Tune into AFL on BT2. Makes a huge difference for the viewer compared to watching Bundesliga. Such a minor thing but totally changes the experience! At least I think they are sound effects 🤔 #live#sport
They were in front 46-40 at half-time but opened up a 37-point advantage entering the final quarter to help set up a comfortable successs in what was Geelong player Patrick Dangerfield’s 250th game. Geelong lost out to GWS Giants in their opening match back in March and will meet Carlton next weekend in Round 3.
