Match report: Saints win, but Lions avoid spoon
August 28, 2016 3:50 PM
AN EQUAL career-best nine-goal haul from Nick Riewoldt has carried St Kilda to a resounding victory over the Brisbane Lions at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, but the Lions had a win of their own, avoiding the wooden spoon by restricting the Saints' winning margin to 58 points.
The Lions started the game in 17th place, just 0.5 of a percentage point in front of Essendon (61.5 to 61.0), and seemed determined to avoid finishing on the bottom of the ladder when they sprung from the blocks to kick the opening two goals of the game.
The Saints soon took control of the game, however, and were never headed after regaining the lead through a Jack Lonie goal late in the first term, extending their lead at every break to record a 25.11 (161) to 15.13 (103) win.
