Saints snare biggest scalp

Fraser Gehrig

There is no doubt about it; St Kilda is the real deal in 2004.

In the top-four clash at Subiaco on Saturday afternoon, the Saints as they did enough to win by 23 points and took their record to 6-0 for the season, which took them to 11 straight wins, including the Wizard Home Loans Cup.
 
In the end, the Saints won 14.11 (95) to 11.6 (72), after they survived a Fremantle fight-back in the last term which saw the Dockers get to just 15 points down after five consecutive goals, before steadying with a late goal to spearhead Fraser Gehrig. [more]

Self-belief the key [AFL - St Kilda News]

St Kilda was coming off an emotional win over Brisbane and a turbulent week off the field.

The Saints were making one of the toughest trips in the AFL, to Perth, and were facing an in-form Fremantle side.

They were without captain Lenny Hayes and key defender Justin Koschitzke and supposedly due for a loss after a 10 match winning streak stretching back to the Wizard Cup.

There were plenty of reasons why the Saints were going to lose to Fremantle, but one main reason they won today. That reason was self belief, according to Saints veteran Andrew Thompson.

“We were top of the ladder before this game,” he said. “People were saying we had to lose one and that no-one wins at Fremantle.

“But we have got a real good belief at the club that we can come over and win these kind of games now. It doesn’t matter where we play, that is our attitude.”

“We just want to play the footy we can be playing and that’s the aggressive, hard at the contest, kind of football and it worked today.”

Thompson said the Saints also wanted to make a statement against the Dockers.

“The other thing was that we were really keen for people back in Melbourne to stand up and take notice by being a team that can win anywhere,” he said.
