Cats to gang up on Buddy

WHILE the footy world marvelled at the one-on-one contest between Brian Lake and Lance Franklin last week, Geelong is unlikely to give the job one-out to its backline star Matthew Scarlett this Saturday.

The Geelong Advertiser reports the Cats will likely rotate the job on the in-form Hawks big man between Tom Lonergan, Harry Taylor who is likely to return from a foot injury and Scarlett.

Lonergan did an impressive job on Franklin when the two sides met in Round 2 before being moved onto Jarryd Roughead when he started to get on top of Taylor.

"Lonergan's been in good form; Harry Taylor, he's probably more likely than not to play, so he'll be a chance and even Matthew Scarlett, it might be a combination of all three," Geelong coach Mark Thompson said of the possible match-up for Franklin this Saturday.
