Time for a bit of revenge against the Catters for our 1991 elimination final defeat - a game we should have won but lost because of the actions of that gutless dog Ablett
Burkey should be allowed to address the players before the match and get em fired up by telling them why we owe farking Girlong a farking smashing
Cmon Saints take vengeance on behalf of your suffering diehard supporters!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that's what I'me talking about, Go you good thang!!
It was a great game to watch, Lockett kicked 9 and could have kicked a dozen.
He went on to say he failed in that game, we just wernt good enough.
Close the whole game and went down to the wire.
Burke was belted from pillar to post
Followed Saints since '71
Sir Robert Harvey was my favorite player
Stewie Lowe and Plugger before that.
Loved watching Rooey and Jack Steven
Now looking forward to the future
Some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, but most just say " What the f#&k happened!".

not that I would advocate that sort of thing, but there would be a little bit of Karma present if Gary Ablett jnr happened to be "taken out" in the manner Burkey was by his old man that day!
Burkey to talk to the boys !
I was there too and left bitterly disappointed. We could have easily taken that game. Ablett's dirty half a coathanger to Burkey's head brought on the helmet from there on. Ablett was a professional hitman. Plenty of other examples too. Kristian Bardsley at the city end of KP.
I still have visions of Andrew Rodgers getting dragged along hanging on to Plugger's shorts !
Yep. Was just a wee kid back then but I certainly remember that mongeral Ablett doing what he did best, that is running through players and not getting rubbed out for it. GO SAINTERS. REVENGE......
I cried after the game in 1991. Didn't cry this afternoon, because it wasn't as much of a shock!
If not for Ablett's elbow we probably would have won that final. Russell Morris grubbing a kick to Lazar when we were dominating didn't help either! It got Geelong back into the game.
Magnificent game worst result, Stoneham was a brick wall across halfback, was that a final six that year? I think it was and it killed us being an elimination final.
Yeah it was either a final five or final six - six I think. I can't remember which years the changes came in. What I do remember was that they changed the system after 1991, because it was so unfair for us to have gone straight out after such a magnficent year.
Plugger hit the post when we were on a bit of a roll. If he'd kicked that things could have been a bit different.
