Match report: Saints claim 13th-straight win over disappointing Dees
April 30, 2016 4:20 PM
A VIRTUOSO Nick Riewoldt performance and career-best game from forward partner Tim Membrey has powered St Kilda to an impressive 39-point win over Melbourne, who continued its up-and-down start to 2016.
In a battle of opposing spearheads, Riewoldt's Saints were far too strong for Jesse Hogan's Demons, winning 20.15 (135) to 15.6 (96) at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Playing his 304th AFL game, Riewoldt's 24-disposal, 14-mark and three-goal effort was instrumental for the Saints, who notched their second win of the season and stretched their winning streak over Melbourne to 13 games.
Five talking points: Melbourne v St Kilda
As the 33-year-old St Kilda captain continued his excellent start to the season despite his seniority, at the other end of the ground Melbourne had its own key forward who singlehandedly kept his team in the contest.
Hogan kicked a career-best seven goals for the clash, gave a presence all day and enjoyed his best outing of the season after claiming the NAB AFL Rising Star award last year.
