Geelong won’t become overconfident after backing up their victory over the two-time reigning premier Brisbane Lions with a high-octane, 27-point win over fellow contenders Sydney.
The Cats underlined their premiership credentials in a 15.17 (107) to 12.8 (80) triumph on Saturday evening, their fourth consecutive win, in front of 35,869 fans at GMHBA Stadium.
