St Kilda romp home over Blues St Kilda continue on their merry way, smashing Carlton by 108 points in their clash at Docklands Stadium to increase their unbeaten streak to 10 matches. The Saints won the clash 31.10 (196) to 13.10 (88), their second consecutive win of more than 100 points. In-form Fraser Gehrig led the way for the Saints with nine goals, having kicked five of his final total in the first quarter. But as with last week's massive win over West Coast, the goal scoring was shared around with nine other players kicking major scores. Stephen Milne kicked six, while Nick Riewoldt, Aaron Hamill and Stephen Powell all contributed three goals. After leading 7.5 (47) to 3.2 (20) at quarter-time, the Saints exploded in the second term. They kicked 12 goals and restricted Carlton to only two, taking an 87-point lead into the main break. Not much changed in the second half, as the Saints virtually went through a training run, scoring with relative ease. However, to Carlton's credit they did make the scoreboard look a little more respectable, kicking 8.7 in the final two terms. Playing against his former club, Matthew Lappin was the best of the Blues kicking three goals and recording 27 disposals. But it was to no avail, as Carlton were simply outclassed. Lenny Hayes and Nick Dal Santo were in the thick of the action for St Kilda, with 37 and 32 disposals each. Aussie Jones continued his rich vein of form with 21 kicks and five handballs, showing Saints fans he is playing as well or if not better than he did in 1997, the last time St Kilda made the AFL grand final. The big loss will hurt Carlton, damaging their already low percentage as they languish near the bottom of the ladder. 6:07:52 PM    comment []  trackback []  G!   • My Hobbies

Saints down Blues by a ton St Kilda 31.10 (196) Carlton 13.10 (88) UNDEFEATED St Kilda stretched their AFL winning run to 10 games today, slaughtering Carlton by 108 points at Telstra Dome. The Saints were unstoppable with full forward Fraser Gehrig kicking nine goals and Stephen Milne six. St Kilda's 196-point haul was the highest score of the 2004 season, with the Saints now two wins clear at the top of the table. St Kilda set up their victory with a stunning second term, unleashing one of the best quarters of football in the club's history on the hapless Blues. With captain Lenny Hayes, Aussie Jones and Nick Dal Santo picking up possessions at will, the Saints kicked 12 goals to Carlton's two as the league leader opened up an 87-point halftime lead. They extended that to 97 points at three-quarter time, going on to kick the biggest score against Carlton in history. Not since the Kangaroos kicked 193 points against the Blues in 1983 has Carlton conceded as many points. Gehrig kicked five of his nine goals in the opening quarter, playing on a surprise opponent in Carlton's regular full forward Brendan Fevola. But while Fevola battled manfully without luck to hold Gehrig, coach Denis Pagan abandoned the experiment at the start of the second quarter and sent his leading goalkicker back up front. Gehrig now has 50 goals for the season and maintains a clear break over his rivals as the league's leading goalkicker this year. Hayes gathered 37 possessions for the match, while Dal Santo (32) and Jones (25) were also outstanding. Only Matthew Lappin could hold his head high in an outclassed Carlton side, with three goals and 27 disposals.

Saints crush Blues in record win It's official - The Saints of 2004 are playing the best football in the club's 107 year history.

That is the only conclusion that can be drawn after St Kilda's demolition of a hapless Carlton on Sunday.  [FULL STORY] 5:28:36 PM    comment []  trackback []  G!   • My Hobbies
