Diehard Blues fan who still believes Simon Wiggins touched Peter Riccardi's shot after the siren.

Tuohy been great all year and Selwood was clearly best and most influential player on the field. Thought Duncan was excellent too for Geelong and Danger crucial in the final term.

Yep it was such an exciting game until the final quarter but that’s exactly what the Cats do best, well done to Scott indeed. No worries, it was a pleasure to watch!

Yep two games that were elite for 3 quarters with the favourites running away in the end, still both great to watch!

Selwood intercepts a kick in and handballs to Guthrie who finishes the Saints off in style. A great game but a boring last term.

Umpires with their final say on the game giving away another soft 50m to Mitch Duncan.

Hawkins with a cherry on top after Aaron Black handballs to him on the goal line to finish the game off.

Hawkins buries the saints after dropping the mark, picking it up and kicking the goal. Game over, great effort from the Saints but not good enough.

Mitch Duncan kicks what is probably the sealer with a 40m snap straight through the medal and it’s not a 20 point lead with just 7 minutes to play and the Saints seem to have been out classed.

NAKIA NO
Cockatoo marks 20m out but thought it was touched, he plays on and misses the snap! The Cats have slowed the pace of this game right down and it’s working for them. Saints need to lift the tempo and score the next goal.

Aaron Black somehow finds the ball in his hands in the goal square and he throws it on the boot while being tackled, Saints need the next one now.

A long bomb inside 50 finds Dangerfield on the run who sprints into the goal square and puts the Cats back in front! Dangerfield has lifted in this final term big time.

87 all with 12 minutes to play, this game very reminiscent of the 2009 Michael Gardiner 13-0 game

The third 50m penalty of the game and the first one the way of the Saints, this one for running too far over the mark, pretty soft again. Membrey accepts the gift and kicks the goal to bring it back to 2 points the difference.

Cockatoo finished off some great team play inside 50 and the Saints are now desperate for a goal.

Haven’t heard a lot from him today so Paddy Dangerfield decides to make his mark. Danger runs to the edge of 50 and slams a great goal on his left to put the Cats back in front. Watch out for a big quarter from him.

You were down by a bit more in the North game, this is a lot closer I reckon

Frantic play from Geelong inside 50m from the throw in and it ends up in the hands of Lang who snaps a goal to make it a 1 kick ball game. Cats refusing to go anywhere.

Duncan wide open on the 50, he centres it to Blicavs who chips it to Taylor. Harry from 30m out absolutely shanks it to make it a two goal margin.

Minchington kicks his third with a snap around the corner and the Cats are now genuinely chasing this game. The sting and intensity has gone out of the game a little bit in this 2nd half.

Riewoldt spots up Billings with a chip kick who puts it on the chest of the leading Bruce, great forward 50 entry from St.Kilda. Bruce from 40m out straight in front runs in to a silent stadium and buries the goal!

Great article explaining the rules from the umpires point of view and why it’s so hard to adjudicate. I think the solution is to make all 4 scenarios easier to interpret to remove both the ambiguity (for the players, coaches and fans) and the need for umpire’ to read players’ minds.
Holding the ball? You be the judge
