Best st kilda victories
i remember st kilda beating hawthorn back in the 1970s at princess park with 15 fit players after half time that year hawthorn won the flag it might been 1976
Beting footscray the last game of 1985 was also good our only win for the year
Plugger kick 10 7 the day we beat carlton at moorabbin on sos

This is my favourite as well. Was probably the only supporter in the top deck of the members stand to stand and cheer when the final siren went. Felt like i was naked from the looks I got.sax wrote:If I could've been there....YES!stinger wrote:grand final win in 1966 for me.....
Best game I've been to 2005 QF vs Crows at AAMI
Don't dwell on the past.
Look to the future.

Wasn't born in 66. For me it's the 1997 prelim. The 1992 final against Collingwood was particularly special, being the first finals win in my living memory.
My favourite home and away is Rd 2 1989 v Carlton - 20 years this year! Plugger kicked 10.7 on SOS, his last inside the final minute, and we beat them by less than a kick.
Collingwood by a point, MCG, 80,000 people, Queens Birthday Monday 1992 was a cracking win, too.

Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.
As well as the 1997 prelim, there was that game where Plugger almost single-handedly won us the game against Syndey, in Sydney, after we were down by a lot. Great win.
(Can't remember if that was the Danny Craven game, or not, but I think it may have been).

sorry we beat fitzroy twice in 1985 alot of great victories so far i was 10 years old back in 1976 .i think it was round 12 against hawthorn when they knocked out a couple of our players and peter bell starred by memory
Also The win against Carlton at moorabbin in 1978 rnd 22 was a great game i remember they filmed cop shop that day at the ground

Plenty I can recall - the earliest would be the elim final against the Bombers in 73' where George Young cut loose off a hff and tore them a new one. A stirring comeback against the Tigers (again at Waverley) in I think 74 or 75 where we had 1 goal on the board at half time and were down by plenty. We stormed home on the back of a solo effort by Glen Elliott in the centre and George Young again off the flank. The 97' prelim was pretty special, the 2005 final against the Crows was also pretty special. There have been heaps of high moments watching the Saints over the years..
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.

Rd 2 2004 against bombers. They tried to intimidate us physically and mentally and we stood up to them. We didn't lose our cool and we beat them comfortably on the score board.
It's probably a stand out because if a team did that to us now i think we'd crumble. Lets hope that changes. I guess it helps when you have a guy like Aaron Hamill running around, highly underrated was he.
Rd 22 2005 is an obvious one, the final in the wet against the swans 2004 was fantastic, as was beating collingwood last year, ah so much fun.
A nice win in the 2005? season against the doggies at the G, Brett Voss did a brilliant run down tackle in the middle that effectively won us the game.
There's a couple that haven't been mentioned.

The game against brisbane at TD with Schwarze pulling the trigger is very memorable...

I can and will say underrated. I'm not talking in terms of pay, that was a mistake by the club. He was underrated in terms of work rate, 1%ers, taking one for the team. His presence on the field made the players stand taller, ask Robert Harvey. He protected our players and intimidated the oppostition. Since he has left no one else has done this and it has cost us big time, no one else has that tough, intimidating presence we need.
It's no secret that our team is soft. It's never too late to change and i hope it does this year.

Interesting in that game you mentioned - vs Ess in 2004, I recall Kevin Sheedy afterwards declare that Hamill was BOG in his mind because of the way he protected the young saints players all day. He was an intimidating presence whenever he played.milney044 wrote:I can and will say underrated. I'm not talking in terms of pay, that was a mistake by the club.

Last years semi against collingwood was the best win for mine nothing better than beating them and when they were so cocky too , I was there and in great seats so all round a good night
Harvs 350th was a great win too.

and up until 2005 he averaged 19 games a season...It was only mid 05 it went pear shaped.
Not sure player's salaries are publicly known.
Hamill when fit was probably our most important player.

Growing up in the 70's and one game sticks out in my mind more than any other. Round 22 against Carlton 1978. We had to beat the blues and we needed Fitzroy to beat Geelong for us to make the finals. We did our bit smashing Carlton but Fitzroy didn't beat Geelong.
It was a fantastic game with nearly 40,000 cramming into Moorabbin. The line to get in nearly reached the bowling club that day with many not getting in till 1/4 time.
The hit by Robbie Muir on Dennis Collins in the last quarter is unforgetable.
We had a fantastic team that year that included Barker, Sidebottom, Hunt , Young , Muir , Ditterich, Perovic, Duperouzel, Sarau, Greene, Okeefe etc.
Unfortunately quite a few left at the end of that season and the rot started from there and continued to 1986.

That 1978 team was quite possibly THE most physically intimidating team ever to play VFL/AFL footy. They were also brilliantly talented and well balanced. We just got spooked by the hysterics from the Essendon pres after that spiteful clash at Moorabbin. Could have gone all the way. Also had a brilliant young ruck rover by the name of Trevor Barker play in that side.robbie muir wrote:Growing up in the 70's and one game sticks out in my mind more than any other.

Queens birthday win against Collingwood at the MCG when Sheldon berated Davenport, who then went on to kick the winning goal with a brilliant snap from the forward pocket (right in front of where I was sitting).
Craig Davenport, a real enigma, made the impossible look easy, but the easy looked impossible for him.
Great talent, not enough ambition.
