AFL:Saints goalless in first half as Hawks cruise to win

Hawthorn have laid bare St Kilda's deficiencies, keeping them goalless in the first half on the way to a 52-point AFL win.

Will Day made his much-antipated comeback from a dislocated shoulder and Jack Gunston, also back in the side, kicked five goals on Thursday night at Marvel Stadium in the 18.11 (119) to 9.13 (67) victory.

Gunston was rested for the last quarter, while Day racked up 18 disposals. Blake Hardwick took Gunston's place in attack and kicked four goals in the final term, emulating his late heroics in last week's win over Adelaide.

While the Saints have shown signs of life this season after a major recruiting drive and are mid-table with a 5-7 record, they are yet to beat a team currently above them on the ladder.
