Match report: Finally, the Saints stay alive
August 7, 2016 3:37 PM
A BAG of five goals to St Kilda's Tim Membrey has helped hand Carlton its biggest loss of the season, a 71-point thumping at the MCG on Sunday afternoon, and keep alive the Saints' slim finals hopes.
It was an inglorious end to Blues veteran Andrew Walker's career, who finished on 202 games after struggling with knee issues, as St Kilda won 19.8 (122) to 7.9 (51).
The Saints need to win their remaining three games if they are to see September action, while North Melbourne must lose its last three. However, with the Roos to face Hawthorn, the Sydney Swans and Greater Western Sydney, and with St Kilda only facing one top-eight team in the Swans, Alan Richardson's men could yet be alive at the pointy end of the season.
