3.11...Is that Lady Di in the crowd?

1987 was the first season which I really enjoyed and genuinely felt optimistic for the club in the future.

Watching the big man alone was an absolute joy.

I remember thinking I was in dream world when we were a chance to finish in the top 5. Then we fell back down to earth with a thud after getting eaten alive by the bottom team of that year, Richmond

However, games like the demolition of the Eagles at Moorabbin will definitely outshine the gloom of being eliminated from the finals race.

Cheers, Macca

Shane Warne was a reserves player that year. Rumour has it the Princess was his first "big catch"

Good bowling, Warney!

'87 was a very tight year...

I think we were 11th but only maybe two wins off 5th...Have I got that right?

That was back in the days when we dreamed of making the finals.

No one thought of tanking then, just because we didn't think we could actually win the flag

[Stillwaiting]

Didn't we win a hole bunch of games towards te end of the year, with Pluggar ripping the arse out of teams. I remember we played a game late against the filth at morrabbin and after trailing by scoot at 3 quater time we came back to smash them.
I thought we were on the way and that we would walk into the finals the next year. How wrong I was

lots of Lockett goodness, alittle Nicky, abit of joffa(wearing 60 for some reason) and Big Wow in the ruck who can ask for more

St Kilda vs WCE rd 8 '1987

Thanks for posting all of these videos on youtube, I'm loving it. I was wondering if you had by any chance the 1997 Preliminary final between St.Kilda v North Melbourne... One of my favourite nights at the MCG that one.

I was behind the goals that day. I also remember Brian Taylor was put to full back, and pluggar destroyed him, daicos ran into him an went arse over, so funny to watch,

I was at that game too. Do you remember the goal Plugger kicked from CHF when he turned around and roosted it through off one step? At the time, i thought it was amazing...

[mcadam05]

sadly i have very little stuff from 87

If I recall correctly, It was Joffa's 200th game

[Rosco]

this would be that game: http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/game ... 70822.html

plugger - not yet 22 and 347 goals to his name at the time

1987 was an interesting year for me.

I was living in Cairns, playing footy in my prime.

The Saints, led by Plugger, started becoming pretty good.

In July however, my best mate died, killed in a drunken fight at our flat ( I wasn't home at the time).

Plugger kicked the ton and won the Bronwlow, then Manly won the NRL flag.

Curiously, 10 years later, 1997 was am immense year for me:

Went overseas for 5 and a half months, on the best 'holiday' ever, and the Saints dominated, made the GF.

And again, 10 years later, in 2007, my son Cooper was born!

Hopefully 2017 will be a huge year!!!

[here i am]

I am lucy enough to have the boot plugger kicked his 100th goal with v Footscray that year bronxed and mounted at home
