Show Preview
The St Kilda Saints face a real test to their two-game winning streak when they take on the Geelong Cats on Friday night. Keep updated with all the action from Marvel Stadium with live scores on The Roar from 7:50pm (AEST).
Wins over Gold Coast and Hawthorn in the past fortnight have revived hopes the Saints can again reach the finals despite a horror start to 2021.
However, the in-form Cats pose a much sterner test than either of the Suns or Hawks. To emerge victorious, the Saints will need veteran ruckman Paddy Ryder to again stand tall. The big man’s return from personal leave has coincided with his team’s run, and against the Cats’ famously fragile ruck stocks, Ryder is primed to have a strong impact again.
The Cats, too, had an indifferent start to the season; but their stunning 63-point win over Richmond last Friday night proved once and for all they have shaken off the cobwebs.
Sitting pretty in fourth on the ladder, and with key forward pairing Tom Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron forming a lethal combination in the latter’s first season at Kardinia Park, the Cats look as menacing as any team in the competition.
The Saints have beaten the Cats just once in 11 matches since their 2010 qualifying final triumph; a 3-point win back in 2016. The Cats were far too good for them last time they met, too, winning by 59 points at the Gabba in Round 11 last year.
