10. Round 7 - Geelong v St Kilda
Touted as the two Victorian sides most likely to make a run at the premiership, St Kilda and Geelong did not disappoint when they clashed at Telstra Dome in round seven.
The Saints had the edge on Geelong in the early going, with skipper Nick Riewoldt impressing in his first game back since breaking a collarbone in round one. Coping admirably with the absence of key talls Fraser Gehrig, Luke Penny and Aaron Hamill, St Kilda led by 13 points at three-quarter time of the entertaining affair.
Darren Milburn played a lone hand for much of the first half, but his team-mates warmed to the task in the final term as the Saints valiantly tried to hold them off without the services of the injured Robert Harvey, Aussie Jones and Justin Koschitzke.
The Cats had their tails up by now though, and ran over the top of the tiring Saints to record a 19-point win.
