Geelong Cats vs St Kilda Saints Preview
Geelong’s rollercoaster ride continued last week in their 33-point win over North, a result that leaves them right in line for a spot back inside the top four if results go their way.
St Kilda can make life difficult for the Cats however by defeating the Suns on Thursday at Metricon.
The three-day turnaround is a really big ask for the Saints, especially against a Geelong side that has enjoyed the better part of this fixture in recent years, but this does feel like a game Brett Ratten would have had circled on the calendar when the fixture was released.
St Kilda has lost three straight to the Cats dating back to 2016, but the neutral turf at the Gabba makes this game a completely different story.
The Saints should have a real point to prove here against one of the competition heavyweights, and with the Cats also playing on short rest, still without a few of their stars, you have to like St Kilda in this spot.
