9 weeks of the first 14 rounds.
2 wins to start the season gave us P2.
After that we couldn't string together 2 wins (we went LWLWLWLW) which saw us slip to 6th at R10.
The last time we were at P5 was in R13 after we beat 2nd placed melbourne. After that game we faded away.

Yes, 7 wins in a row is significant.
Yes those wins set us up for a tilt at the finals, but....
Not the answer I'm looking for.
A hint... the games were in 2005 but the answer to the question has a historical context to it.

Mad Saint Guy,
Yes, we have drawn even again:
bulldogs 68 wins, 68 losses 2 draws
kangaroos 69 wins, 69 losses 2 draws
Here's hoping we can draw ahead in 2006.
For the record, we have 8 wins and 6 losses v university (does that count? - yep until we can get ahead of some other team) and brisbane bears (not lions) we have 9 wins and 6 losses.
If you add bears and lions together we are less than 50%.
Your go MSG
HD - so close

The ground was constructed in 1964? And the 3 stands are:
G.G Huggins stand.
The Ian Drake stand.
The big stand has someone's name?? can't answer that one!! damn.

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

got no idea ric....riccardo wrote:Got the name of the G G Huggins (Social Club) Stand and the Ian Drake Pavillion, but the ground was opened before 1964 and the stands were all opened at different dates, too.
Try again.
I didn't even realise that the main grandstand had a name...
I do remember it was extended....
the order would be...
Main Grandstand my guess maybe 1963.....
G G Huggins......... 1966/67 ??
Main Grandstand extention.... some time in the 70's ... a guess 1973
Ian Drake Pavillion......... a guess but around 1974
but I dont really know the years....

The years of construction (Fid is right, the Main Granstand was extended at some time) can be found in the book Football Grounds of Melbourne.
Good luck.
Okay...
another guess...
Main Grandstand ...1965??
G G Huggins......... 1968??
Main Grandstand extention.... some time in the 70's ... 1971
Ian Drake Pavillion......... 1973
