Saints make it five straight
St Kilda has again confirmed its fast-growing reputation as the hottest AFL ticket in town, by keeping its unbeaten start to the 2004 season intact with an 11-goal mauling of the Kangaroos at Telstra Dome on Saturday. And befitting the Saints’ new-found status as a power team of the AFL, the match was watched by a record home-and-away crowd of more than 38,000 between these two clubs. The Saints’ 20.10 (130) to 8.17 (65) victory ensures they remain the only unbeaten team after five rounds, ahead of their biggest test of the season next week against reigning triple premiers Brisbane Lions at Telstra Dome.
