FULL TIME SCORE | GEEL 21.11 (137) | StK 5.6 (36)
After a spirited opening quarter from both sides, Geelong showed their class to steam roll the Saints tonight. Jack Stevens was a shining light for the saints amassing 36 disposals as was Montagna who kicked 1.1 while collecting 34 disposals. However the main story for the night was the absolute dominance of the Cats. They have well and truly bounced back after a disappointing loss last round. Injury wise, Dawson Simpson looks to be out for the rest of the year and James Gwilt was again encumbered by his troublesome knee. However the Cats will now march on to September as they lock down second position and look on to an intriguing battle against North Melbourne next round. The Saints must pick themselves up again as they face a difficult battle against Brisbane next round as they attempt to piece together some positives out of what has been a notably disappointing season.
That’s all from me, hope you enjoyed tonight’s coverage of Geelong’s dominant victory over the Saints.

Stevie J slots one from straight in front after a wobbly around the corner kick falls in his lap at the top of the Square. Hard to see the Saints even registering a major score at this point as the Cats are running all over them

Mitch Duncan has a superb kick for goal from the 50m arc by the boundary, umpires call for a score review which results in a behind. The crowd is not happy though, however they are a very biased crowd out at Geelong

PODSIADLY HAS TAKEN PERHAPS THE MARK OF THE YEAR! THE 31 YEAR OLD HAS FLOWN ABOVE A MASSIVE PACK, TAKING A RIDE ON THE BACK OF T HAWKINS AND SIMMONDS STADIUM ERUPTS.
Even better the Cat kicks truly, and Geelong are well and truly on top after a spirited first quarter from the Saints. St Kilda are really struggling to curtail Geelongs tall timber up forward

GEELONG GOAL!
Motlop kicks a beautiful goal from outside 50, well and truly putting the pressure back on the Saints.

Agreed. Will be interesting to see if they take him to Europe or perhaps look at Japan, as the prizemoney on offer there would be a great temptation. Plus there is the Karasi blue-print on offer if they want to take that option.
