I thought I may be able to help, but on checking it appears I have nearly every win since 1991.
I remember the game and I was there.
Lockett was playing his first game for the year after being injured pre season.
He was only half fit and still kicked a lazy 10!
In those days only the top matches of the round were telecast and I don't think that match would have been.

I think it was Kenny Sheldon's first game as coach. We were standing under the coaches box on the Hawkins wing. Kenny won me over that day. After the win he climbed down the ladder from that stupid coaches box with a pair of St Kilda footy socks on, pulled up high with his slacks tucked into them. Pretty sure he did it for the crowd.

Think I've got the right game. Pretty sure Cuz had a big game too.

i can confirm that the game was played on the sunday of round 1, and it was a 1 hour replay at 5pm.

Reasonably big crowd with the majority following the Saints. Especially on the wing and behind the goals at the SIMS metal sign end of the ground. Back in those days we had a much more feral following than we do now. Rod Owen came in as a late replacement for somebody too. Remember Kenny Sheldon climbing down the fireman's ladder from the Lifesaving box they used to call the visiting coaches box on the wing during the breaks.
It was televised by the way. I remember watching it later that evening on TV. I also remember that Lockett had been in a car accident leading up to the match.

I remember Lockett laughing at the Bulldogs defenders when he took yet another mark with about 3 of them hanging off him!
Geez I loved Plugger, we won that game but if he kicked a bag I was happy win, lose or draw!

I was there that day. It was the Saints very first AFL game (also Chris Grants debut for the Dogs) It was during the height of Pluggers reign at St Kilda
Good times

Who else would I follow?

The Western Oval was one of my favourite VFL grounds.
Apart from two days there when Templeton, and then years later Beasley kicked big bags of goals.
It was easy to get to, and the walk from the car to the ground was always entertaining looking at the local houses,
and their various uses for concrete where there was once gardens, or lawn.

I have the game on VHS langers.

In fact, I have most winning games (and some losses) from 1987 to about 2005, when I ran out of steam!! All on VHS.

PM me langers, if you are interested, and we can make the necessary arrangements.

[B W and R all over]

Debut match for Chris Grant and Justin Charles. Not that I'm answering anyone's question with that. Also the first game I ever attended.

We need to get this game onto Youtube.

It was one of my favourite footy games to attend.

English soccer-like atmosphere where I was standing under the visiting coaches box!

Wish Saints fans were still that feral! I miss these days.

Hi guys, it would be great to get the last game of 1995 against Footscray as well on youtube if possible. Great win and
Spud's last game, if anyone has it that would be great
