Best individual Saints performances ever?

[PaddysurDaddy]

$70 on pies is a big outlay Snake.

smuggled em in in his shoe

Nick Riewoldt V Sydney 2004 semi-final in the wet. Also Nick's 9 goal game against the Dees wasn't bad either in the same year.

People will say the usual and obvious suspects , but I reckon Stewart Leowe had a couple of games where he took 20 odd marks. In his era too , most of them would of been contested.

Round 14, 1997.
Tony Brown 34 disposals vs North. A special player stavro#4.

What about the great Stevie Sziller, 6 goals and 29 disposals against Sydney in Round 10, 1998 at the SCG!

Ghosty you shouldn't be indicating who your true identity is!!

 

[Brains Trust66]

He never kicked 9 in a game. He kicked 7 twice. Once against Carlton at Princes Park in '87 and again vs North Melbourne at Moorabbin in '88.

Must have been the 7 at Princes Park I guess , in another couple of years it will be 12 against the Blues on Grand Final day the way my memory is going lmao.


Can’t wait for 2018 season.

 

[Sainter93]

Montagna in 2010 had a 38 disposal 5 goal game against Adelaide.
Peak of his game

Troy Schwarze in Round 6 2004. 3 kicks, 0 handballs, 1 goal. Greatest 3 touch game I've ever seen.

As good as Barry Breen’s 0.4 against Collingwood?

Unfortunately I missed that one, but it probably just pipped it at the post.

 

[plugger66]

There is only one best game ever by a player and that was Plugger against Carlton in 1989. Close this down now.

Yes sir!

 

[jbass002]

If we're talking best quarters, Jason Blake's 3rd quarter against Hawthorn in 2008 was amazing. Kicked 3, and swung the game with his ruck work

 

[bird_man]

My brother ate 5 pies at the footy a few yrs ago.
Not a bad effort

Poor campaigner would have had to of mortgaged his home to buy 5 Pies at the footy!

I see TB pretty regularly at Etihad, he's always chatting to fans and seems like a good bloke. Can't be Ghost.

Gilbert Mcadam's best game vic park 93. Overshadowed ofc by cuz's shirt lifting gesture at the end.



This was my first and last time going to vic park. Ive largely blocked out the racial abuse i copped and witnessed as a 15 yr old kid that day. Looking back 25 yrs on i can be proud to say i was there for such a significant event in the history of our great game.

Gee that was enjoyable footy in that era. Great memories with guys like Ralphsmith who was one of the cult heroes of the time and Brett Bowie who was mates with my friends who played at St Kilda city and felt like we had an insider.

 

[Brains Trust66]

Yes sir!

It was a great kick for a goal at that stage , hard to believe he had only had two kicks before that in the game.

Does anyone know if we won that game ? How’s the size of the crowd for a game against an interstate team . Someday soon I hope the saints can get back to crowds that big.

Can’t wait for 2018 season.

Couldnt agree more. We had a bunch of battlers that time but i couldnt help but feel a weird attachment to all of them.

Danny Craven, Frank Coghlan, Dean Greig (my fav), Tim Pekin, to name a few.

And dont forget the talent that moved on to other clubs, Dale kickett, Adrian fletcher, Craig o'brien etc

Yeah Dean Greig was my favourite too , didn’t he end up having a leg amputated a few years after he left Saints ? Or did I dream that ?

Always liked Frankie Coghlan too


Can’t wait for 2018 season.

Yes, we won that game by 1 point - 92 v 91.

I remember it so vividly because we were 5-0, young and upcoming side and the Lions were 4-1, having just come off of 3 straight flags.

I was fortunate enough to go with my family and when Schwarze kicked that goal the crowd absolutely erupted - it's probably the loudest I've ever heard Etihad. I was convinced the ground shook beneath my feet when it sailed through. Surreal moment.

Yea, broke his leg playing in the EDFL. Got infected and lost part of his leg. Tragic. Hope hes doing well these days..

George, perhaps the club website can revive the 'Where are they now' articles they ran a few years ago. Always enjoyed those.

I was there as well , might have been the only win I saw there . That was the day Winmar lifted his Saints jumper wasn’t it ? Just like channel 7 not to show it .


Can’t wait for 2018 season.

Yup that was the game. This documentary on Winmar just showed up in my youtube suggestions. Cant believe i hadnt watched it before. Anyway its really good and insightful. So happy to hear that the club were good to him throughout and continue to support him.



Maybe if his dad hadnt passed away the day before the 97 gf, weĺl i guess its typical St Kilda luck(or lack of).
