Down by 4 points.... 30 seconds to go.....

GRESH!!!!!! Goal!!!!!! 2 points up and the Saints hang on for a famous victory.

Consolidated our position in 16th on the ladder and we sang and danced for days and days.

Social media and marketing team went into meltdown, posting daily about the win.

Those were the days......
I hated that win.

Last round of 78 Had to knock off more fancied Blues and hope Geebung beat Fitzroy( or the opposite) to make the finals Pounded the Scum but the other result buggered us

1990 we beat Hawthorn by 3 pts in an upset before Plugger got injured

We were crap all game until that last term.

Cho was under full media pressure then we bloody well win.

What did that win achieve??

Friggin nothing!

We still have Cho and are still bottom 4.
You might've missed the sarcasm in my voice.... :)

That 78 season was the most St Kilda-only dramatic cataclysm of a season. At 13-14 yrs old, (having been too young for the heyday up to 72) finally, we were decent for the first third of the season, and then the boiler completely blew up, the wheels completely fell off. We got hammered by South. Didn’t Carl go missing for ten weeks? What a mess, and then finally at the end of the season, we managed to regroup, and hammer Carlton only to miss the five on percentage. What the heck happened next?Carlton win flag in ‘79 and we go into a ten year tailspin.
Come on Saints! Today is the day!


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!
