Preview Round 7 vs St.Kilda - A historical perspective

[HBF]

Give us your fondest memories of playing against the Saints.
Those of us that were around in the '80's can recall some massive wins against the Saints.

 

[4evablues]

Any finals game, cos I dont think they have ever beaten us!

 

[Omega Blue]

my first game in a super box and walker kick the goal with like 20secs remaining to win the match

 

[sacamano]

Rd 13 85' big win against the saints in a close encounter

 

[Stig O'Hara]

The one game that sticks out is in 1992 at PP. Saints, had Lockett running wild & led by 5 odd goals at half time. Dorotich went onto Lockett, shut him out of the game, and Rhino O'Sullivan went totally bunta in the 3rd quarter and kicked 4 goals. Reckon we got home by a couple of points in a classic.

Also remember they shut the gates that day, total lockout.

The other one that stands out is Round 22 1978, Saints had to win, and Geelong had to lose for the Saints to make the finals. Jezza had taken over as coach, and we were white hot, had barely lost a game under him. Moorabin was jam packed, and the Saints had the old knuckle squad running about, Ditterich, Muir, Lofts, O'Dea, Sidebottom, all the classic thugs. Saints beat us up, (Muir got 4 weeks for belting Collins, and had a How Do you Do with some of the spectators), we went from 3rd to 4th, lost all our momentum & ended up playing Geelong in the Elimination Final the next week.

Didn't Diesel have a day out against them at Waverley circa '91/'92?
Something like 50+ touches.

This is Carlton vs St Kilda, not Carlton vs Collingwood!!!

Do you have a picture of Fevola playing on Fraser Gehrig?

Well FYI I am thanking St Kilda for Lappin.

 

[BM123]

Gotta say I consider the team we have now to have better personal then what we did then in 2011.

 

[SE_Blue]

Remember a game against the Saints, Setanta playing on Gehrig. Setanta had a poor game, but at one point Setanta flattened Gehrig in the goal square.

Gehrig probably got a free kick for it as well.


Was anyone at Moorabbin the day Plugger kicked 10.7 on SOS?

Great game that one reckon Lockett ironed out Matthew Hogg just on or after the siren also IIRC Numbers??

 

[Sin City]

The Kernahan/Winmar game in '89.

10 goals for Sticks, 40 touches for Gleeson. 8 goals for Winmar, 36 touches for Harvey. Blues win by a point.

Also Luke O'Sullivan kicking four goals in '92 complete with knee lifting fist pumping celebrations for each of them.

Gehrig probably got a free kick for it as well.

I was there and just froze when Lockett kicked his 10th and stood arms raised above his head as the Moorabin crowd went crazy as the 10th one sailed through and they hit the front and won a tight one real late.

Plugger kicked 10 out of 13 goals that day

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Not a fond memory but will never forget Fev playing full back.....

 

[Blues177]

In 2010 at Etihad, after 12 straight losses to the saints, at long last finally beating them. Won by 10 goals.

I was living in brisbane and went to the pub to watch it. The Pub manager was a Saints fan, and being monday their wern't many people there. She hooked me up with free beers all night and I was late to work the next day.

Worth it.

 

[GordonBlue]

Speaking of Fev and Saints, can't recall the year, however Saints beat us by over 100 points at the MCG. We kicked 4 goals for the match. We had one goal kicker that day

Feeling somewhat sorry for my uncle in the 80s... because the Aints... his pride and joy were absolutely shite.

That was a great Monday night game. Our speed was just way too much for them, and from memory, Waite had a night out against them. Can we order one of these for this coming Monday?

 

[Stamos]

Has to be 2010, absolutely carving them up after so, so long.

I took my 4 year old StK supporting nephew to that game. I was so caught up in singing our song that I didn't notice he was crying until the lady behind me tapped me on the shoulder. I still feel a tiny bit guilty that when I picked him up to comfort him...I kept singing the song...
