Hall & Thompson out as well.It’s on again now. Young Michael Gardner is also playing.
Spider actually kicked six as well as Healy. They both turned 24 that day.
And no Burke or Loewe.
Yeah it was most certainly one of the great wins! Especially considering outs.....The quality ofHall & Thompson out as well.
Stan Alves in an interview a few years ago said that game was the best win he had ever been involved in in his time at St.Kilda.
To be honest, for me it ranks #1 on my list of most memorable St.Kilda victories. Even better than the prelims of 97 or 09.
It was an absolutely incredible performance.
I've got the game on my PC and just checked the last quarter again.
We were down by 27 points (112-85) with 9:55 remaining in the game. AND the Eagles kicked another goal as we were charging back.
To kick 6 goals in the last 10 minutes is something I don't think I'll ever see again.
Yes I do remember...almost knocked the poor cheer squad ladies head off too!Yeah it was most certainly one of the great wins! Especially considering outs.....The quality of
Opposition in enemy territory!
My fave memory from that was the almost maniacal deranged Fist pump
From the perennially emotional Alves aimed at the West Coast Members!
Stan the Man was pumped! lol
We actually bettered that comeback about 4 yrs earlier at the SCG
In what turned out to be one of Pluggers last games for the Saints!
After knocking the living s**t out of Peter Cavens ugly mug
He proceeded to kick 10 as we came from an almost unbelievable
8 goals down with like 10 mins to go to win!
Big Plugger even leaping in the air to give a mighty up yours to the Syd members!
In that moment you would have given a million to one for him
Wearing a Swans Guernsey Rd 1 following season!
Ben Thompson played his first game. Looked pretty good.....
I think Thompson played BTW.
Joe McLaren had a rig.
Nicky was sublime.
Loved the style of play back then, no boring zoning and lots of contests one on one. Kicking and turnovers much worse than today IMO.
Dan Healey had a beautiful long kick.

No Andrew Thompson.
I had my first experience of G-Train in the flesh this morning.
Man he’s huge.
I think I stand as high as his shoulders.
There is zero chance I would have ever been able to outplay him!!!!!!!
