Fraser Gehrig has returned to his devastating early season form as he and Nick Riewoldt destroyed Essendon on Friday night to put the Bombers in serious danger of missing the AFL finals for the first time since 1997.

The man known as 'The G-Train' booted eight goals and had a hand in several others as St Kilda thrashed the disappointing Bombers 20.7 (127) to 14.8 (92) at Telstra Dome.

Melbourne has stamped itself as Victoria's best premiership hope in 2004 as St Kilda's woes worsened at the MCG on Sunday despite a magnificent individual performance from Nick Riewoldt.

Riewoldt, playing full-forward in the absence of the suspended Fraser Gehrig, booted a career best nine goals but it was not enough to stop the Saints crashing to their fourth loss in five games as Melbourne won 23.8 (146) to 13.11 (89) in front of 54,409 fans.

The Saints, who were three games clear on top of the ladder after winning a club record ten successive games to start the season, now find themselves ahead of Brisbane, Port Adelaide and Melbourne by percentage only and on current form they are the worst of the top four teams. more...

Grrrrr.........

"St Kilda suffered its fourth loss in five matches as Melbourne ran out 57-point winners in the AFL round 15 match-up between the two sides at the MCG on Sunday afternoon. The Demons kicked six goals to two in a final quarter charge to seal the win by 23.8 (146) to 13.11 (89). The loss weakened the Saints' hold at the top of the table as Melbourne, Port Adelaide and defending premiers Brisbane moved level with them on 44 points. But the Saints retained a slender grip on the top spot on percentages. The loss came despite the best efforts of Nick Riewoldt, who kicked a massive nine majors for the Saints in a losing cause. Ben Holland had four for the Demons while Cameron Bruce, Brad Green and David Neitz each scored three. Melbourne had booted seven goals to four in the second quarter to open up a 15-point lead at half-time. The Saints next face an away game to Richmond, while Melbourne has the Western Bulldogs at home."

I've spent the past few days down the South Coast with my family. It was a short little holiday before I head overseas.

While I was away lots happened in the footy:

• St.Kilda was thrashed by Port
• 3 St.Kilda players were reported AND were all suspended
• More sexual innuendo
• Luke Penny got off

I am sure there are more stories out there.

My biggest annoyance is I only picked 3 winners last week!
