Acting captain Tom Stewart has taken a 50-metre penalty and turned it onto the opening goal of the match.
Stewart was taken from the centre to within 30 metres of goal, and he kicked truly despite the slippery conditions.
The Cats have also kept the ball planted in their end of the ground and the Crows can’t find a way through them.
From Peter Ryan in Geelong: Not that we encourage betting, but if, by miracle, you backed Tom Stewart to kick the first goal, you are a winner. The Cats defender has kicked the seventh goal of his 195-match career.
Cats 8, Crows 0 with 15 mins to go in Q1.
