AFL:Killer Cats surge to statement win over Swans

Geelong have underlined their AFL premiership credentials with a high-octane 27-point win over fellow fancies Sydney.

Nine days after a scintillating thumping of reigning premiers Brisbane, the Cats backed that victory up in style.

Geelong were ominous at times in claiming a 15.17 (107) to 12.8 (80) victory, their fourth win on the spin, in front of 35,869 fans at GMHBA Stadium.

Chris Scott's Cats (32 points) move to third behind second-placed Sydney (36) and leaders Fremantle (40) ahead of facing Carlton at the MCG next Friday.

Sydney's Malcolm Rosas limped off in the second quarter with a left foot/ankle concern, Tom Papley (calf tightness) sat out the final term, and Angus Sheldrick came off late.

Cats defender Lawson Humphries was sensational, collecting 33 disposals and 818 metres gained.
