Saints juggernaut rolls over Eagles
The Saints took the game 26.13 (169) to 9.14 (68). St Kilda were in a different class to the Eagles, taking control of the game from the first bounce. Brent Guerra led the goal-scorers with seven while Fraser Gehrig notched five. Aaron Hamill and Stephen Milne each kicked four goals. The shared nature of St Kilda's goal scoring typifies the teamwork coach Grant Thomas has been trying to achieve over the past few seasons and which is now bearing fruit. Brownlow medal favourite Nick Riewoldt had a solid game with two goals, 27 disposals and 15 marks. His excellent form continues, despite attracting growing attention in defence from opposition teams. Eagles captain Ben Cousins and star midfielder Chris Judd did their best to stem the raging Saints tide, leading their side in kicks and disposals. But it was to no avail. The Eagles have won only three games this season and their finals aspirations are slipping away rapidly. They are now in 13th position on the AFL ladder, only one win ahead of Hawthorn, Adelaide and Collingwood.
