(the game is on but I wont be watching it till it comes on Fox Footy)
St Kilda never headed all night, and looked awesome in the opening term.
Hawthorn would have been bitterly disappointed at losing, but would have been happy with the signs to come out of the fab fightback from 39 points down in the 2nd to only lose by 9.
The Saints were too tall up front, but Croad performed strongly on Riewoldt and Campbell totally blanketed Koschitzke after the big man ran amok in the opening term.
Hawthorn had some good chances to win this game, but were let down by occasional overcooking of the football and indifferent forward options. Well done to the Saints for playing so strongly early and for being able to steady at the death knell when the game was up for grabs.
