AFL ROUND 10 2007: ST KILDA V GEELONG; FINAL TEAM LISTS PLUS TV / RADIO BROADCAST DETAILS
Ben Jensen 1 June 2007

By Ben Jensen ST KILDA V GEELONG THE SAINTS host the rampant Cats at Telstra Dome this Sunday in yet another Fox Sports Twilight match for Geelong. GEELONG CAPTAIN TOM HARLEY and livewire Paul Chapman were both named in the side, with Joel Selwood and Josh Hunt the unlucky ones to miss out. Tom Hawkins is the third emergency.

KANE TENACE will play his 50th game while St Kilda will be without champion Robert Harvey, who would have played his 350th game had he not injured a hamstring last Friday. The Saints have axed Brett Voss and left out Andrew Thompson, but brought back much needed backman Jason Gram, full back Max Hudghton, gritty Leigh Montagna and defender Xavier Clarke.

MATCH NEWS BY GOOGLE

St Kilda have an extra day and a half's break than Geelong, who played in Adelaide last Sunday evening, while the Saints played in Perth on Friday night. The Cats thrashed the Power while the Saints were thrashed themselves by a mediocre Fremantle Dockers unit.

While St Kilda's injury list literally resembles half their expected best 22, in contrast Geelong has several selection dilemas. Captain Tom Harley, who resumed in the VFL a fortnight ago but couldn't force his way into the side that thrashed Port Adelaide, should play. Harley ruptured a finger tendon in his first game for the club, against the Western Bulldogs at Telstra Dome in round one.

Paul Chapman returns for his first match since hurting a hamstring in the record breaking win over Richmond in round 6. Chapman was troubled by the same hamstring pre-season and was rated a 'Test' for last week's big win over Port Adelaide but didn't play.

In the VFL the Bendigo Bank Cats travel to the ground formerlly known as 'Preston City Oval' and now called NAB Oval. to face Carlton affiliated Northern Bullants.
