cats claim underdog status
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/ ... 42,00.html
GEELONG captain Tom Harley has set a dramatic stage for Sunday's clash of the unbeaten clubs, declaring the Cats were "in awe" of St Kilda this year. Despite a rampant run in which Geelong has won 55 of its past 58 games, the Cats have claimed underdog status for the Etihad Stadium blockbuster.
Harley and Shannon Byrnes, who kicked four goals against Port Adelaide, referred to St Kilda as the competition's benchmark.
St Kilda defeated Richmond by 56 points at Docklands to remain unbeaten along with Geelong, which beat Port by 34 points at Skilled Stadium.
It is the first time in VFL/AFL history two unbeaten sides have met so late in the year.

They have made the last 2 Grand Finals and trounced us in our last couple of meetings. Geelong? Underdogs?

I'm quite pleased with the contrariness of statements coming out of geelong - a few years ago thompson was quite vocal in insisting the praise and attention given to st kilda was misdirected - despite the sainters better performance. Now geelong are the super team of the comp he tries to turn it around (on some days - other days he pretends not to know when we are even playing?).
If anything it suggests a bit of mental fragility - a team like geelong shouldn't need to engage in mind games. perhaps the GF loss, rather than inspiring them to improve further, is also still corroding a bit of self-belief?
