St Kilda coach Brett Ratten says the Saints are ready to snap their Kardinia Park hoodoo when they face they Cats in Geelong next week. AFL
But coach Brett Ratten believes now is as good a time as any to break a two-decade hoodoo and keep his club’s minute chance of finals footy alive.
Current Collingwood coach Robert Harvey played for the Saints the last time they defeated Geelong at Kardinia Park.“We’re just going to try and finish the home-and-away rounds and keep pushing to win games of footy,” Ratten said after his side’s 29-point win over the Swans. Ratten was particularly pleased with the efforts of his young brigade and sees the clash with an angry Cats side coming off a shock loss to GWS as a learning experience for the likes of Cooper Sharman, Leo Connolly, Tom Highmore and Ryan Byrnes.
“He went off, he was sore, we sort of gave him a bit of a go in the last quarter, but you could see he didn’t have the power in his leg,” Ratten said.“He’ll be a test, he’s going to have to do everything right, it’ll be 50-50, I would think, for next week’s game.”Swans on the road “You can’t really get into mindset of that settling down mode because things are getting thrown up so much,” Longmire said.“It’s been good to catch up with families. It’s been a significant period away, so it was good to see everyone.
