HT: The Bandits did well to limit the offensive output of Geelong big man Eric Gaff in the second quarter, but the depth of the Supercats bench is sure to be troubling. Geelong have had 19 points scored from their bench, compared to none for the Bandits. But the size of Nicholas, McMath and Mays in particular looks to be troubling the Cats on defence. 

HALF TIME: Geelong lead the Bandits 47-46 at the half.
