St Kilda Saints vs Geelong Cats Preview
For all their failures this season, Ross Lyon appears to still have the Saints headed in the right direction.
Three wins from their last four makes for easy reading on paper as the Saints put away a lazy Richmond outfit with ease last week kicking 15 goals on the day.
The Saints are another side looking to finish strongly, but they draw a tough matchup on Saturday against a Cats outfit looking to lock up a top four spot thanks to Brisbane and Fremantles recent hiccups.
As we saw last week, Patrick Dangerfield is in career-best form, while Gryan Miers has also helped steered the Cats to three consecutive wins over North, Adelaide, and the Dockers.
Betting-wise, the Saints have a nice record against Geelong, covering in four of their seven games as the underdog, and 10 of their last 15 as the overall underdog over the last 12 months.
That said, this shapes as a low-scoring, grind it out kind of battle, one the Cats typically win when they bring their best.
