It is nearly upon us. The game that everyone in the football world is dying to see. Both teams unbeaten, both teams looking almost unbeatable. So who will win the most anticipated game of football in years.

Despite St Kilda’s unbelievable form so far  it seems as though no one can see past the glitz and glamour of Geelong. Ablett, Bartel, Chapman and Corey, there is no doubt that Geelong is a team packed with superstars and it is because of those stars that sportsalive and every other bookmaker have them as hot favourites against St Kilda. But the saints have been on fire so far this year and shouldn’t be written off so easily. In Nick “Dangerbolt” Reiwoldt they have one of the best players in the competition. For the last few years Nick has promised so much, but has never really delivered on a regular basis, but this year is a totally different story. With 42 goals so far there is no doubt he is in fine form and has caused problems in everyone of St Kilda’s 13 victories. The Geelong defence are going to have a hard job keeping him under wraps. On top of having probably the best big forward in the competition they also have a revitalised Leigh Montanga in Brownlow Medal winning form. But it is their pressure on the ball that has impressed most people this year, and it is this that I feel will strangle the life out of Geelong and that will see The Saints cause something of an upset.

Sportsalive are paying $2.45 for the Saints to win this game and I feel that these are great odds. St Kilda will be out to prove a point and while I feel Geelong will go on to win the flag this will be the Saints night.

Sportsalive are also offering lots of different ways to get your money on this game with some fantastic little bets if you can’t pick a winner. They are paying out $3.70 that the first points of the game will be a St Kilda goal. Again I see this as a great bet as The Saints are going to come out all guns blazing. The only thing you would have to worry about would be that some of the St Kilda players can be a little wayward with their kicking early on and it might just slip past the post for a behind. But sportsalive are even paying $3.90 for that outcome so just take your pick.

Or how about a draw sportsalive are paying $61.00 for this very rare event, but it has been hard to pick between them so far this year so you just never know.
