1/4 time: Kangaroos 27 lead Cats 19
The Kangaroos lead into the first change on the back of Daniel Wells (two goals) and Brent Harvey's efforts in the midfield.
The veteran racked up 10 disposals in the hotly contested attacking term.
Aaron Mullett (11 disposals) provided the major highlight of the quarter making light work of a half volley before snapping over his shoulder for the Roos fourth goal.
Roos defender Lachie Hansen and Scott Thompson have worked well in tanden restricting the Cats talls.
Cats speedster Steven Motlop provided a spark early kicking two quick goals.
Meanwhile, Mathew Stokes opened the scoring for the Cats kicking a goal from a free kick 35m out directly in front.
