This is quite extraordinary.
The Saints have now kicked the first FIVE goals of the game to take a commanding 31-point lead with just 3:55 left in the first quarter.
The Cats haven’t scored yet!
King is absolutely tearing Henry to shreds and already has two goals to his credit.
The massive upsets look like they could be set to continue unabated today.

Meanwhile, the injury-ravaged Blues have started in promising fashion at Adelaide Oval as well, leading the top-four Power by seven points with 9:30 left in the first quarter, 2.2.14 to 1.1.7.
McGovern and Kennedy are the goalkickers for Carlton while Marshall has sole major for the Power.

The Cats look to be really struggling down back without Stewart, who unfortunately sounds like he is out for the rest of the year with a foot injury.
From just seven inside 50s, the Saints have kicked three goals, to lead by 19 points at the halfway mark of the first quarter, 3.1.19 to 0.0.0.
St Kilda couldn’t have asked for a better start to this contest at a ground they haven’t won at since 1999.
King is looking particularly menacing with four marks (two contested), four disposals and a goal already.
Leading disposals: Steele 9, Holmes 5, Crouch 4, Dunstan 4, S.Higgins 4, Jones 4, King 4.
The Saints are off to a flyer with King and Sharman kicking the first two goals of the game from set shots on sharp angles to put them up by 12 points after nine minutes, 2.0.12 to 0.0.0.
Wilkie has the big job on Cameron in the former Giant’s return game from injury, while down the other end, Henry has lined up on King.
Geelong and St Kilda players link arms with the umpires around the centre circle before the game to show solidarity with Indigenous and multicultural communities in a statement that racism won’t be tolerated.
