2009 Season was over rated
I believe because of a soft draw our 2009 season was highly over rated.
The previous year we lost to Hawthorn in the finals by 9 goals.
When the fixture came out the following year, a mate and i , over a few beers predicted we could have a 20-2 win/ loss season.
To be honest the two losses were not the teams we predicted against, but having said that we lost against Ess and Ntn Melb, so it could easily have been a 22-0 result.
I think we had us losing against Geelong and Sydney [ away ].
Footscray had us beat in the Prelim.
I suppose what i'm saying is maybe we need to stop living in the past [ believing we were robbed, and get on with the future ].

The HA season was successful
Itis ridiculous though when posters refer to 2009 as our crowning glory, when we didn't win?! Ultimately I see 2009 as a missed opportunity, the fore disappointing, not something to crow about...
Lauding anything less than victory..... Hallmark of a loser

So you have been a paid up member for 28 years but didn't you enjoy the 2009 season which saw us winning 19 games in a row?

Of course i enjoyed it you moron.

We had a draw to die for and missed a golden opportunity.

Yep we beat everyone but it was the draw. You have a point about the draw though. Only playing one game at the G cost us big time. We also played 6 games interstate which we all won.jamesmc wrote:

It wasn't the one that got away but we missed a golden opportunity. That really makes sense.
So what did you think of the 2010 season then?

This thread is so absurd it's now being discussed on Twitter as proof of Saintsational's demise.

Re: 2009 Season was over rated
No St Kilda draw is a dream. 17 games at your home ground (MCG), two at Etihad and three interstate -- now that's a dream draw, and that's the sort of "fixture" that Collingwood has enjoyed in the past.

Good point about playing at the "G". Thank God we only played one game there. For sure, if we played any one decent there,in the H/A season we would've lost a few more. As any right minded St.Kilda supporter knows, it wasn't our greatest hunting ground. Also at that time i don't think any of the interstate sides were anything to be fearful of.

Re: 2009 Season was over rated
Not overrated at all.
Certainly was the one that got away,but a thoroughly enjoyable season to be part of.
19 wins in a row , unstoppable .
My favourite season by far post Lockett.

100 goals in 14 games...Lockett is the key
