But it was the run and play-on tactics employed by St Kilda in the third quarter, instigated mainly by Sam Fisher, who was magnificent as the loose man in defence, that changed the game. They had 52 handballs to 37, with the handball receive ledger going from minus 15 to plus one in the Saints' favour, while the inside 50s were 44-34 their way

Fisher again showed a strong presence in St Kilda's home and away season, playing as either a loose backman or the centre halfback. He performed strongly in the first qualifying final against Collingwood with a career high 42 disposals

St Kilda’s favourite ploy of leaving Sam Fisher loose man in defence allowed him to rack up the stats, but it left the problem of what to do up forward against a numerically (and spiritually) superior Geelong defence.

Sam Fisher had success as the Saints' loose man in defence, while Brendon Goddard was the Saints general again, dictating play from down back. Goddard had 21 touches to half time and finished with 33 as well as one goal.

St Kilda is one of the best sides in creating a loose man in defence who is able to read the play and create a two-on-one situation on the opposition’s gun forward. More often than not, Sam Fisher is that player, whose rebounding ability also hurts the opposition. Fisher did this to great effect in the first half, affecting a number of spoils and contests in front of Lance Franklin. Fisher also had three rebound 50s before leaving the ground with an injury. That spelt trouble for the Saints as the Hawks saw an opening and went for it.
