On a cold and wet September afternoon, the Cats and Saints produced a fierce contest to decide the 2009 premiership. St. Kilda held a seven point lead at the final change and were the first side in 25 years to lose a grand final when holding a three quarter time lead as Paul Chapman's best on ground effort helped the Cats gain retribution for their shock grand final loss the year before.
