The bottom six is an interesting one i'm not sure that's the case on grand final day much comes down to desire rather than depth. I also doubt scarlett would ever go one on one with riewoldt because bomber wont allow it, he wants scarlett nullifying someone and creating attack, he'll have an opponent that will be easier to handle and will help double team riewoldt.

St. Kilda by 20 points, they'll win it in the last half after geelong get off to a nice start
St. Kilda are the best side in the competition by far, they showed on Friday night how good they can win win without being the best side on the ground

Saints defence is the best I have seen for a long time. I mean teams their defence concedes no more than 63.1 points per match throughout the whole season (Credit must go to Silvagni here) Considering they play most of their games at the Dome as well (traditionally a high scoring ground) makes this even more remarkable.
Someone said it before, but 'defences' win premierships just as much as you must have a legit forwards to win premierships.

After last night, Geelong will go in favourites and I'm happy about this. Saints aren't Collingwood and next week will be a totally different game.

<<<< Biased but Geelong for sure. Will be close and there will be a lot of debates over umpiring decisions afterward.

I've just looked at both teams head to head and can't see anymore than 4 St Kilda wins on the ground.
Geelong will have them covered with the game done and dusted by half time.

I agree the saints are the best team in the competition ... but geelong were the best team last year. I just think geelong will be playing better, this is one of the best teams they've fielded all year. It'll e close either way i think.

It barely ever eventuates. Someone will pop up like last year. Everyone would have looked at the matchups and just assumed guys like Young, Dew, Osborne and Ellis would lose their head-to-head battle. In 2005 Fosdike, LRT and Buchanan were in our best. In 2006 Richards was in our best. Big names don't always put in big performances. One of the smaller names will play well for St Kilda. I'm tipping McQualter to have a big game.

Naturally I think Geelong will win but I can't believe how easily people dismiss a team that has won 20 of 22 H&A games for the season and 2 finals.
Normally I'd worry if the Cats had an easy PF but I think this year needing to get run into Ottens, Chapman, Johnson, Kelly and Rooke without doing any damage it may be a blessing.
The 2 years prior to this Geelong had the weeks break before the PF and I think this hampered them, this year it was exactly what they needed.
Everything has been working in the Cat's favour except for running into a side that has only lost 2 games out of 24 for the season.

The two Preliminary Finals results are interesting.
Two years ago, it was Geelong who were unimpressive and struggled to get over the line by 5 points. Port had a runaway training drill and won by 87 points. Youd think Port's preparation would be better right?
Wrong.
We all know what happened. The battle hardened Cats won by 20 goals.
Geelong's easy win last night does them no good for the Grand Final, I reckon. They've basically had two byes. They now have to come up against the best defensive team in the games modern history.
St.Kilda is a better team than Geelong. They've proven it in 2009, so far. Their prepration is better. And they will win. I hope they do, because they deserve it more than the Cats this year.
Geelong winning would be like Hawthorn winning last year. A team clearly inferior over the year getting over the line on the day.
St.Kilda has lost two games out of 24 by 2 points and 5 points. I can't see them randomally just getting beaten by 5 goals. It ain't gonan happen, especially with their tougher Preliminary Final which will leave them more battle hardened.

Geelong will win. They wont let this one slip. More heartache for St Kilda.

didn't hawthron have a easier victory over the saints last year than our win over the bulldogs in the prelim. they lost against kangaroos who arne't much chop. And how would it be like hawthorn winning the grand final with how we've played for the last three years i think 2 preimeirships is reward for effort. not to mention there past when they were up and coming and had a few finals series before hand.
StKilda beat Geelong by a goal and that was because of an umpiring stuff up. Geelong came back from 5 goals down at quarter time. Is that clearly inferior? Also,StKilda only won on Friday on the back of some pathetic umpiring,so they are actually lucky to even be in the Grand Final.

Think you might find it was umpiring stuff ups that got Geelong back into that game.
Remember the 50 that gifted Ablett the first goal?
Worst 50m penalty decision all year.

They conveniently forget that

Cats.
Saints are the best team in the league but on GF day that isn't always what decides it. Look at last year. After donating the cup to the Hawks last year the Cats will be breathing more fire than us. Hope I'm wrong
