The clangers made by top players in Ling, Ablett and Selwood were just unacceptable. Saints too good and what a match!

I was saying your skill level was a result of their pressure, not just your blokes having a bad day.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Kosi will have Scarlo for company
We are understrength in the ruck but King is suspended
Their defence will have to play a bit deeper in this match and won't be able to run off Varcoe, Chapman, Byrnes and Johnson
The Cats WILL take on the Saint zone unlike teams such as Port and Richmond
Taylor goes OK on Riewoldt
Harley has returned to the backline and he will drop back to assist Taylor in particular
Tudor may have taught St Kilda to play like Geelong but WE ARE GEELONG
Saints haven't beaten us at this venue for three years
This game will be won in midfield and ours is better
We put as much defensive pressure on the opposition forward as the Saints

Geelong by 44 points.

We lost to Port in 2007 by a kick and that was the best thing that happened to us. I'm not concerned at all. I would be concerned if I was a St Kilda supporter, because it is not a matter of if, but when they get some serious injuries. When that happens, we'll see just how good they are. Be nice to have Johnson, Ottens, Egan and Hunt etc playing that game (3 All Australians). Don't worry about the Cats. They are travelling along very nicely at the moment.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.
