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

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!
