Tonights Game - St Kilda v Geelong

[White Line Fever]

How good was the contest between Baker and Stevie J.
What a sweet spinning elbow, got to love the fact these two just kept going regardless of penalties.

Agreed but they might get a few weeks off

An abberation.

Same match in September will be different...

Plenty of players missing for the Cats, but still a great win. Squeezed the life out of them in the second half. 6.7 to 0.3

Many good contributors on the night.

The game was played on St Kilda's terms and as a result it was an ugly slog which we lost. Geelong need to pick up their discipline. Milburn and his big mouth! Still, you can't win em all and I don't think Gamble, West and Taylor Hunt will be running around in Blue Hoops come September. Crucified by the maggots as well but the better team clearly won on the night.

Couldn't believe when I walked into the pub after work yesterday,checked the betting and St.Kilda was $3.40. I had me some of that.

Gwilt kept the Pod, J-Pod, whatever his name is to nothing and Mooney was covered well too, I might add I think he is growing increasingly ineffectual when the Cats have a bad day, not a night for key forwards anyway. Ablett gets marked hard, doesn't he? 32 touches and 2 goals and doesn't rate a mention in the best players this morning.

Good for the comp to see there is someone still there to challenge the Cats and Reiwoldt to come back for the Sainters soon might just be the extra ingredient they need to go one better in 2010.

We had a few handy players out. Most teams would struggle to win without Chapman, Kelly, Corey, Ottens, Hawkins and Rooke missing. That's a third of your team missing. Well done to St Kilda, but I'm not panicking too much.

I fell the same MP. It was good for the Saints to beat Geelong in the way they did but in the end it doesn't mean much in the long term. As long as they repeat the dose on the last day in September if both teams get there, the win last night means nothing.

Ah yes, what a great contest that was. Baker was at Johnson all night, niggling him, hitting his injured hand (which I found absolutely hilarious) until Johnson cracked and gave Baker one- Which he might be in trouble for.

one umpiring decision that confused me, a minute left in the game

milne marks basically on the goal line, plays on, gets tackled and then we hear he had no prior opportunity.......... his prior opportunity was making the decision to play on

Agreed, he had all the prior opportunity in the world to dispose of the ball and didn't chose to, taking the tackle. Therefore it should of been holding the ball.

Yeah that boggled me too.

That is holding the ball every day of the year!
I didn't even think their is a fine line, it's clear cut.

I dont think you will see much of corey and rooke, they are gone i think. Ottens has a bit to offer the side when he comes back and chapman would have had a large say in friday nights game if he played. All in all though i dont think the cats have a lot to worry about, top 2 is almost a given and they will be fit and firing come the business end

[mighty_tiger_79]

Joel Corey is in our best 10, he will be back

Ottens not sure, but his big hard body and finals experience will be handy.

rooke, i think he will find it tough to get back

Corey is one of the most underrated players in the Comp (except by Cat fans).

DOMINATOR!

Fair enough REB, you know more about geelong than i do, have they set a return date for him yet? im just hazarding a guess that at his age with how long he has been out for that he might not be able to return. Not by any means doubting his ability as a footballer, he is a gun.
