St Kilda Saints vs Geelong Cats Preview
Geelong has had no issues with the Saints in recent times and coming off thumping of the reigning premiers the line of 15.5 here appears extremely short.
The Cats have won the last four against St Kilda by an average margin of 42.8 points with their lowest margin 27 points – they covered the line in three of those four wins.
St Kilda has only won once from their last 12 meetings against Geelong and they get them at a really bad time with star recruit Jeremy Cameron starting to fire in tge Cats’ forward line. The Cats average 116.7 points with Cameron up forward ranking them #1 in the competition for points scored over the last three rounds.
The Saints have tightened up down back in the last two weeks but these two wins came against the Suns and Hawks who are ranked 16th and 17th respectively for points scored this season – this is the real test to see how their backline holds up.
This line looks far too short here and a 40+ result for Geelong wouldn’t surprise.
