Saints storm back to sink Hawks
St Kilda kicked nine goals to two in the final quarter to storm to a 66-point win over Hawthorn as AFL Round 13 kicked off at Docklands in Melbourne on Friday night. The Saints won 19.13 (127) to 9.7 (61) to shore up their place at the top of the table with 11 wins and two losses. Stephen Milne and Fraser Gehrig led the way for the Saints with five goals apiece. The Saints had trailed by as much as 25 points in the first quarter and at the half-time break they were eight points behind. But they sealed the win on the back of a sizzling second half which saw them kick no fewer than 14 goals. In contrast the Hawks kicked six goals in their best opening quarter of the season, but were without a six-pointer in the second quarter and added just three more in the final two stanzas. The loss leaves the Hawks at the foot of the ladder with 11 losses and just two wins to show for their 2004 campaign so far.

Saints swamp hapless Hawks
St Kilda has ended a two-match losing streak by defeating an initially spirited, but ultimately inadequate Hawthorn by 66 points at Telstra Dome. The Hawks led after the first half of the battle between first and last on the table, but were besieged and eventually battered after the major break when the Saints kicked a whopping 14 goals to three.
