Match day: Geelong v St Kilda

**cruiser** · 7th September 2008, 03:54 PM

Oddly find myself wanting the Saints, who I hate, to beat Geelong, who I think deserve the premiership. Maybe it's the Schneider factor. It was good to see him kick the first goal of the game. It still cuts me up to see him in Saints colours (no, not looking for another debate about whether we should or shouldnt have traded him).

After last night I've changed my thinking and I'd like to see us play in the GF, even if it risks a thrashing in the GF by Geelong. And playing the Dogs followed by the Saints looks the best route for us to get there. Oh and how good would it be to inflict PF misery against St Kilda again ... sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Cats dominating early but can't kick straight ATM.

A real unfortunate knee injury to Prismall.

Looks like another hundred point thumping by Geelong again in a QF.

(Looks like another boring Grand Final as well)

The Cats should be further in front given that performance.

Riewoldt has had a shocker so far. He's having trouble getting his hands on the ball.

Is it me or do Geelong get a good run with the Umpires?

It's not you, it's them. They got a good run against us when we last played them. But it's also because Geelong's ball skills are just so bloody good.

And to think, some people thought the Saints were a chance...

There's a little bit of that but I think it's more that Geelong's skills and strength are so good they seem to get more time as they are usually able to move the ball on when tackled or effect a good tackle.
