No change


Poor Matthew Stokes is the man to miss out this year.

Not really fussed who wins but the head says Geelong will have too much for St. Kilda.

If the Saints do win then I'll be gutted for Robert Harvey. Played for the club for 21 years and never won a Premiership, and the year after he retires they have a chance to do it!

I think the cats will be too strong for the saints too, but nevertheless ill be shouting for the saints,(im a glutten for punishment:D) it would be good to see them win one seeing as they havent won since the 60's.

Im sure it'll be a cracker game all the same

bruschi

yeah not really fussed who wins, I really like both sides, especially Riewoldt and Ablett. just hope for a good tough game. I think Geelong might have the experience, and the hunger after losing last year.

What TV channel is showing the game over here?

Wow that was great. Neck and neck til deep into the fourth quarter. Cats deserved it simply because they took their chances. Glad it wasn't a blow out in favour of one side.

Anywhere this can be downloaded from the net? All I see is torrents with multiple leechs and no seeders.

great game alright. much like the Prelim between saints and dogs, real intense hard hitting stuff. Cats experience told inthe end. They started better without any nerves, and they finished stronger. It was there for St Kilda, but they didnt have the composure to finish very very easy chances. The miss by Scneider at the start, Milne and McQualter were shocking. Hawkins was lucky to get away with his poster (what a terrible technique of a kick for it too!) but with Ablett and Chapman playing well in the last quarter, they deserved it.

Riewoldt was well marshalled through out. Cats had 2 or 3 on him at times. Milne and Schneider didnt do enough crumbing and picking up breaks when their men went up for those balls. Good game tho, I'd have loved to see Ablett get the Norm Smith to round of his year, but Chapman did well considering he was nearly out of the game with his hamstring.

Well done Cats (even though ye cost me €50!!)!!

I watched it on Eurosport 2, which had showed the AFL games either on the Monday or Tuesday nights after the lives games. The televised times were usually around 21:30. Great game, almost as good as the Western Bulldogs game against ST.K
