MATCH PREVIEW PLUS TV / RADIO BROADCAST DETAILS By Ben Jensen AFL GRAND FINAL 2009 ST KILDA SAINTS V GEELONG CATS ONE THING stands between an unchanged Geelong and a second Premiership inside three season; a sizeable one in St Kilda, a side who dominated season 2009, dropping just the two games, towards the end of the season. Geelong are the overwhelming favourites with the betting public, paying out an average of $1.60 for a win comparred with the Saints at $2.40 generally Latest Odds. Still, most punters still work for a living so you can't always take that as an accurate judgement.

2009, ROUND 14 SUNDAY 5 JULY 2009, 15:10 AEST, ETIHAD STADIUM SAINTS WIN FIRST BLOOD By Ben Jensen (from Leipzig, GermanY) AFL 2009 ROUND 14 ST KILDA SAINTS V GEELONG CATS ST KILDA have won the first major battle over Geelong for 2009, winning by one goal over a fast finishing Geelong side who levelled scores after being 23 points down with just minutes to spare. Former Eagle Michael Gardiner was the hero for the Saints, marking with just over a minute to go and converting to give his new side the four points and outright top spot on the ladder, and much needed confidence over the Cats. St Kilda led by as much as five goals at one point, the Cats never holding the ascendency. Geelong key backman Harry Taylor suffered a major injury in the huge pack that proceeded Gardinerīs mark and winning goal, being knocked unconcious. Darren Milburn injured an ankle while Steve Johnson, a late withdrawl, may again miss with a hip injury. MATCH
