The Reds continued limping towards the end of the season with another match where they survived without a thrashing based solely on the poor kicking for goal of the opposition.

A second quarter burst had given them a two goal lead on their travels, but after the long break Geelong added 3.15 to a single point to run out comfortable victors.

Best were Pearce, Lilley and Lugton.
