Saints a big chance

Now, Centrebet has to be kidding.

The betting agency has the Saints at $3.30 chance to beat the Cats.

Head-to-head Geelong is $1.35.

That's the odds of an outsider. The Saints are a lot better than that.

Let's not forget the Saints have won two of the last three games against the Cats, and we all know the Grand Final was a nail-biter.

In Round 13, the Cats didn't even score a goal after half-time. The greatest team of all managed just 3 behinds.

The winning margin was 4 goals, and Nick Riewoldt didn't play.

If I was a betting man, I'd take the value in a two-horse race.

Well done, Kb. That, along with your Friday night fish and chip order, is the only thing you've got right since you hung 'em up in '83!

Either way KB, the loser has to play the winner of the Hawks/Dockers game and I have a feeling it is going to be the Hawks. One of the Grand Finalist from last year could potentially, and I say could go out in straight sets this year.

G'day Kevin, i would have to disagree with you there. Im at school just listening to you and dont think the saints have a chance. They cant beat Colingwood, Hawthorn and it is a tough ask against the cats.
