Saints vs. Cats: Who will win?

[GumbyLearner]

Time to start a thread on this.

It has finally come down to the decider tomorrow.

I think the minor premiers will take this one out.

Not that I'm biased.

Saints by a kick.

Go Sainters!

Meeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Go the Pussy Cats!!!

Actually I don't care, ok well I do a little bit, I like the cats, in case you hadn't noticed, but I hope it will be a great game, both teams are full strength, actually not sure why the Cats are favourites, the Saints dominated the H&A season.

Should be a ripper!

I'll go long cats, profit target at 23 points.

Your 'best defensive team of the century' will crumble like feta on a greek salad

I wasn't going to stoop to mentioning 97
Hope you aren't relying on Gardy to take a game winning pack mark & goal in the pouring rain.
Nor Reiwoldt to take a dozen contested ones in the same conditions.
If Cats close down Hayes contested ball wins you guys are cactus.
Respect for what the Saints have done this year though.

Have to agree.

I was at the game in 97, high up in the Ponsford stand. Flew down from Qld to watch it. It was crushing.

The side we had then was great but look at the side we have now.

I thought it was ours here, when Aussie received from Banger and ran from half back to score.



It really sucked when Barry Hall lost his cool in the 3rd quarter and got dragged that was the turning point in my mind. And Adelaide played that smokey Ellen that no-one had done any research or heard of. WTF?

Much more discipline and focus this time around.

Re: Saints v. Cats Who will win?

This is the best and worst situation for a saints supporter right now.

Best
Making the grand final.
20 - 2 for the season.
beating Collingwood in the finals.
Beating Geelong round 14

Worst
Playing Geelong in the Grand Final in the rain possible hail!


As a saints supporter I am 100% behind em, but the form found ( or collingwood gave up?) last week anit a great thing to see.

its going to be a tight game due to the weather

Saints but a goal or less.

Cats will win, but the match to watch is Storm V Broncos. Broncos to win by a point!

thanks for posting that.

Jones had amazing run through the corridor and down the wing.

97 was also such a great team.

Cats in hopefully a close game.

Cats are the form team of the finals so far and will be hard to beat after the disappointment of last year imo.

Also if the Saints start like they did against the Bulldogs the game could be as good as over by 1/2 time, turnovers like that against the Cats will hurt alot more.

Re: Saints v. Cats Who will win?

Will be a draw I think.

Re: Saints v. Cats Who will win?

There are many reasons why the Saints will win this one.

Staying true to the red, white and black

ALL football followers classify themselves as ''mad''. You hear it every day: ''I'm a mad Collingwood supporter.'' ''I'm mad Essendon.'' ''I'm a mad Tiger.'' It's like a self-conferred honorific.

But there are subtle distinctions between fans, as there are between clubs. Most St Kilda fans I know are marked out by their loyalty - not in the least diminished by the fact that it is never requited - and by an ability to laugh at themselves.

One went to watch the reserves on the morning of his wedding day; he said that otherwise, it would have felt all wrong. It was not as if the Saints were on a roll at the time. They were in the middle of a run of four successive wooden spoons.

When Malcolm Blight was sacked as coach of the Saints in 2001, another became indignant. ''That's it,'' she declared. ''I don't barrack for them any more.'' Then she laughed at her own hyperbolic insincerity. She knew not only that she did still barrack for them, wretches that they were, but she always would.

St Kilda fans don't desert their team in the dog days, as Richmond's, for instance, tend to. Nor do they protest in the streets, nor threaten to tear up their membership tickets, nor dump a trailer-load of rotting chicken hearts on the doorstep of the club, as a Collingwood fan once did.

They are phlegmatic. As it happened, the Saints' first match after Blight's sacking was on Saturday night, and nationally televised, meaning that all eyes were on the club and its fans. One image endures, of a bespectacled middle-aged woman in guernsey and scarf, sitting in the front row - knitting!

Re: Saints v. Cats Who will win?

Probably the only GF that I cannot pick a winner on preference, its going to be so sad to see the loser, Geelong deserve the win and their reign, but I really feel for the Saints too.

Hoping for a classic GF like 05 and 06.

I think the cats will win, I think they got it together last week.

Gee I love footy.

Re: Saints v. Cats Who will win?

I dont really care who wins, but I think the Cats will win after last weeks performance..

I will be cheering for the Cats

Cats will win, but the match to watch is Storm V Broncos. Broncos to win by a point!

Go Storm :

Re: Saints v. Cats Who will win?

I managed to bag a corporate package for the game mid week so I'm heading in there about 9:30am. Saints are definite underdogs (even though they went almost undefeted for the season, AND beat Geelong along the way), but I think they can do it.
My fear was they peaked too early, about 2 weeks before finals, and their game against Footscray would support that theory.

Having said that, they most certainly have the ability to pull it off, and I hope they do, GO SAINTS!
