While a 113-point win over Gold Coast was something to celebrate, probably the best news for Geelong was the successful return to football of Tyson Stengle.

The small forward kicked four goals from 16 disposals to show he hasn’t lost any touch and could be a big plus for the Cats in the second half of the season.

Yet another hamstring injury to Taylor Adams took most of the joy out of Sydney’s 36-point win over Southport on Saturday morning.

The veteran was playing his first game back from another hamstring but didn’t get through the first quarter before being struck down by the possible career-ending injury.

It was another big VFL return from Peter Ladhams, the ruckman gathering 27 disposals, 27 hitouts, nine clearances and one goal, but no matter what numbers he racks up it is hard to find a place in the seniors considering Brodie Grundy’s current form.

Small forward Jesse Dattoli kicked three goals from 15 disposals, with Jevan Phillipou (11 touches) also slotting three majors.

02:07

Billy Cootee was busy with 28 disposals including six clearances and one goal, and Ned Bowman also got plenty of the ball with 20 touches.

The only other senior Swan in action was Patrick Snell, finishing with 16 disposals.
