St Kilda Saints vs Geelong Cats Preview

Two weeks is a long time in footy, but the Cats could very well miss finals if they fail to take care of business at Marvel on Saturday night.

Chris Scott’s side has endured a tough month, compounded with a third straight loss from four games last week in narrow fashion against rivals Collingwood.

Jeremy Cameron returning to form is one positive, but against the defensive-minded Saints, this still shapes as a fascinating match up with so much at stake.

A month ago, the Saints appeared the most vulnerable team sitting inside the eight, but three wins from their last four has done enough to steer the ship in the right direction.

Max King’s accuracy in front of goal and Jack Sinclair’s form has gone a long way, but perhaps more importantly, the Saints still remain one of the most efficient teams when it comes to disposals and tackling.

Those two areas will prove pivotal this week against the Cats, especially with Tom Hawkins and Cam Guthrie a chance at returning.

At first glance, it feels like the bookies may have this market the wrong way around, but it still seems unfathomable to imagine last year’s premiers missing out on finals.

Sometimes all it comes down to is who needs it most, and right now, that’s Geelong.
