It was a marathon quarter, almost 34 minutes in total. Bailey Smith has made a busy start in Geelong colours, picking up 10 touches. It’s single goal-kickers all round, with Gryan Miers, Patrick Dangerfield, Oliver Henry, Oliver Dempsey, Jack Bowes and Fremantle’s Andrew Brayshaw on the board.
Geelong 5.4 (34) lead Fremantle 1.1 (7)

Geelong 3.3 (21) lead Fremantle 1.0 (6) after 23 minutes
