Cats struggle past Saints
AFL 2019 round 17 Geelong Cats v St Kilda Saints, Ben Jensen GEELONG were pushed by St Kilda in the first half but seven goals to two in the second half gave the Cats a 27 point victory. The evening was very cold and as a result the GMHBA Stadium crowd was fairly low – just over 24,000.
It was a triple victory for the Cats with the VFL men’s and women’s sides both beating their Sandringham and Southern Saints opponents.
