Where and when: Marvel, 7:50pm (AEST)
Last time they met: R11 2020: St Kilda 4.10 (34) DEF BY Geelong 14.9 (93) at The Gabba.
The Cats gave St Kilda a lesson in efficiency, pressure and power, kicking the final nine goals of the game and keeping the Saints goalless in the second half. Sam Menegola started like a house on fire and did not slow down, finishing with 26 disposals, 11 marks and two goals, while Patrick Dangerfield lapped up more time on-ball than the Cats’ previous win over North Melbourne, gathering 19 disposals and adding a goal. St Kilda missed its opportunities in the first half and were made to pay. They won the contested ball by 14 in the first two quarters and had generated seven more inside 50s, but struggled to get easy looks from the rock-solid Geelong defence.
Match Preview: Both teams are coming off good wins last week so confidence won’t be a problem. Will the Ratten game plan hold up against much tougher opposition though? Does he have the cattle to execute it? My money’s on the Cats but I’m looking forward to the battle.
Motts Watch:
St Kilda
Marshall, Steele
Geelong
Duncan, Stewart, Dangerfield, Hawkins

Come on Guthrie reckon he’ll go for VC 150+
Keeping a watch on how many hotdogs danger eats in the stands, Mott?
Atkins, Highmore & Hunter Clark for me in this one
T/u – Steele
T/d – Guthrie
Thinking Steele to save bit of cash
It’s been a long wait,
It’s finally here…..
The ultimate clash:
Highmore v Geelong
Cmon big fella ton up!
I’m not sure Dangers playing Motts ?
Any way..
Finally Highmore with that glowing green dot!
He gets the (E) and needs to go at 60+ or I roll the dice on Kosi in Tassie.
Steele Looks a little battle weary so I left the VC off him ( Thanks GunBoat) I will be watching him closely.
B Crouch is my POD If he can repeat last weeks ( 108 ) effort I will be chuffed.
I’m sure we are all looking at Marshall.
Can he fix our forward woes?
Best of luck to everyone, and have a great weekend.
Hi FT, Just as well you kept Clarke.
Lets hope he doesn’t bleed too much cash 🙁
When I wrote that FT, I didn’t imagine his score would be so poor.
He is not on his lonesome though, so many disappointing scores in this one.
Here’s hoping for big turnaround in the second half.
No worries CT
I had him benched anyway.
57 from 12 touches ( 8 HB ) isn’t that horrible in the end.
He will only lose about $10K.
I think I will trade him next week anyway barring any disasters. Though who knows ? He’s been on the chopping block for weeks and has somehow survived.
Can you keep an eye on news of B Crouch. Looks like he’s having scans on his cheek.
hopefully he doesn’t have a fracture.
Thanks for all your updates and best of luck to you and ( I can’t believe I’m saying this ) The Eagles this weekend .
FINAL TEAMS – LATE CHANGE for
Geelong: Luke Dahlhaus replaced by Jordan Clark.
St kilda: sub: Ben Long
Geelong sub: Max Holmes
Late change from the Cats, bet you didn’t see that coming….
BT: ZERO SEVEN
Saints to win
Bookies game
Multi destroyer
so the amount of behinds kicked by st kilda before a goal was 9 – what’s the record does anyone know?
Of course….I have him
Oh man, I ummed and ahhhed about bringing in Guthrie … opted to not make the trade and look at double downgrade for cash gen … looking like yet another bad call …
Feel like this year is fast becoming over …
Question: When dangerfield come back will that affect Gutherie score?
Looks like highmore isn’t doing good
5 possessions since half time but gone backwards in the points.
Selwood has done similar too.
Something odd in the scoring or just lots of clangers?
as of right now, there is still 800 points to be allocated, based on their 3300 points per game … so it looks like there will be big changes … this is based on the scores on FF just before the full time finish …
something wrong I think …
Upgraded someone to Bolton last week, gets injured.
Traded in Marshall for Bolton this week, deja vu
Thanx Lowless. back to the Twos
That was a bit uncalled for……??
Ouch, know the feeling. Maybe you could let us know who you bring in for Marshall so we can avoid them. Cheers.
Such low SC scores
Supercoach scoring does not make sense, Duncan has 30 touches, 15 marks, 83% disposal efficiency and scored 91??
There is 800 points of scaling to come, don’t stress!
Where do you find how many points are yet to be assigned?
In SuperCoach itself, live gameday scores. Total points for each team are down the bottom.
Add fan footy team supercoach scores together, deduct total from 3300.
Thats how many points left to distribute.
It’s getting to the point where CD just draw numbers out of a barrel, with a seperate barrel with almost all the scores over 100 for their favourites, regardless how well they play.
yep – agreed.
They need to get rid of the 3300 total points per game system which applies BS scaling processes and simply award every thing a players does or doesn’t do the points associated for that stat.
The everything is neat, clean, fair and unbiased and not treated subjectively … been saying it for years now. Its the one blight on their system …
Have to agree. Watching CD choose to scale up their favourites 30+ points while handing out scaling of less than 10% to other players when there is an 800 point upscale required is sickening.
It’s almost like watching political corruption handing out money to mates while doing stuff all to the battlers who deserve an even go.
If you had say 5% of your team’s score before scaling, you should be at 5% of your team’s score after scaling.
Not half a dozen guys drop down to 3- 4% of team score so another chosen one can jump to 8 or 9%.
If only AFL fantasy website wasn’t so borked. And we had Captaincy Loopholes, Bubble playets, etc.
Between the two games there’s actually just one decent game waiting to get out.
He’ll get close to 130 on that
you would expect a lot of those CATS players to go up hugely based on their numbers … Guthrie, Duncan, Stewart, Touhy all big stats …
Still 800 points in scaling to come guys. Relax.
it’s like they didn’t score one entire quarter of footy …
Think it’s more than “scaling”, reckon something has broken over at CD.
No biggie for the Friday night game, but you’d be pretty pissed if this happened on a Saturday or Sunday arvo when you were trying to make a judgement on a VC score.
Guthrie a smokey for the Brownlow?
Would you consider him a HBG or a receiver?
IMO from days of old, guys that are putting in the larger effort would get a bigger notice than the ones benefiting from their efforts.
ie IMO Guthrie over Duncan, Macrae over Dunkley, Fyfe over Brayshaw…..etc.
PS……but please don’t tell anyone I told you that…….

hope this doesn’t happen tomorrow leading into the 4:35 game if you are relying on making a call on Grundy as VC (with your loop player someone like Sharp) … like has happened the last two weeks …
Will be using that exact combo too, while at work.
Not great.
