Hanley stars but in a losing cause

PEARCE HANLEY had a career high 30 disposals but it was another losing effort by Brisbane as they lost to a James Podsiadly-inspired Geelong, 133-104.

Podsiadly scored eight goals for the Cats but Hanley can hold his head high after another performance that showed why new franchise, GWS are showing an interest in the Mayo man, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

The Ballaghaderreen native’s accurate passing was evidenced by an 83% efficiency rating, which is very good given the high number of disposals, 23 of which were kicks. This enabled him to his seven rebound 50s, where he successfully found a teammate with a clearance out of defence, while he also tallied 11 marks.
