In the clearest sign yet Grant Thomas’ side will be a serious contender for higher honours in 2004, the Saints thrashed Essendon 2.16.12 (126) to 1.11.9 (84). [more]

Saints march into Wizard Cup final
ST KILDA 2.16.12 (126) ESSENDON 1.11.9 (84) THE Saints marched into the AFL Wizard Cup grand final after thrashing bogey side Essendon in tonight's second semi-final at Telstra Dome. Electrifying from the start, St Kilda was never headed and recorded its first win over the Bombers since 1999 with a 42-point pasting, 2.16.12 (126) to 1.11.9 (84). The Saints, who have won just the one night flag since their sole premiership of 1966, will now play Geelong in next Saturday's pre-season decider in a chance for both clubs to add to their bare trophy cabinet.

Sainters into Grand Final
Woohoo - the Saints beat the Bombers. The Saints move into the pre-season grand final and meet Geelong next week. Wow. The last time they made it to a grand final was 1997. Gotta wait until mid-night before I can see the game - thanks channel 10 and fox footy!
