Preview:
Geelong will be looking for a bounce back win when they host the Saints down the highway on Saturday night. With losses in two of their past three games, the Cats now have just a one game advantage at the top of the table, with the chasing Eagles in red hot form. Geelong scored just 55 points in their loss to the Dogs, with Luke Beveridge’s men booting five final term goals to blow the game open after managing just five majors in total to three-quarter time.
It was another week to forget for the Saints, who went down by 39 points to the Roos to drop to 6-9 on the season and just 2-8 in the last 10. One bright spot for St Kilda was the effort of Josh Bruce against North, with the forward booting six goals straight.
In just three visits to GMHBA Stadium since 2009, the Saints are winless, with an average losing margin of more than 80 points. They have scored just 43 points on average in those three matches. The Cats are 5-1 in Geelong this season, with an average of 103 points per game at their home venue and a winning margin of 38 points. The Saints have performed poorly against the line in 2019 at just 4-11 and more importantly, they fail The Wolf’s eye test in recent weeks and look a rabble. The Cats should waltz home.
