Favourite matches

[bfra]

I'd like to know what are your favorite St.Kilda matches from the last 5 years. What are the games that you can watch over and over.

For me:

StK Vs Ess Round 2 2004.
Firstly, it's always nice to watch a win against Essendon. There hadn't been to many recently before this game.
Secondly, I think it's the match that the team really started backing each other and beleiving in themselves.

StK Vs Bris Round 22 2005
It's nice to watch us absolutely belt someone.

StK Vs Bris Round 6 2004
the last 10 minutes where Aussie kicked ???? that point.

StK Vs Adel (2001 or 2002)
Jason Cripps return match where he played a blinder.

StK Vs Syd Round 6 2001
Loewe's 300th, and what a game. Was also good to watch Spider and Barry Hall running around in that team.

It's outside your timeframe, but the 1997 prelim final against the Kangaroos remains one of my favourite all time matches.

The Saints-Doggies game this year was a cracker as a spectacle.
The Port-Saints Prelim last year was footy at its best, Kosi spectacular
Bris last year-Schwarze on the siren
Carlton last year - Fraser on Fevola- pure running football, as was the previous season at Princes Park
Kangas 2003, Fraser kicked a bag
Brisbane 2003, Power marks after the siren, probably the awakening

The Cripps game we got pulverised

Below is the list of the most memorable matches I have attended

1991 v Brisbane @ Gabba -

It was the first game I saw live, Plugger kicked 10 and the saints won easy, beautiful!!!

1997 PF v North @ MCG -

Saints qualify for the GF with a comfortable win over the previous seasons premiers, I don't think I will ever forget the Frankston line train journey home.

2003-5 v Brisbane @ TD

Two one kick thrillers and the saints' biggest ever victories, fantastic games

2004 SF v Sydney @ MCG

As per the PF in 1997 we were singing in the rain as the Saints posted their first finals victory since for 7 years. That 3rd qtr and Fraser's last qtr dash at the ton were unforgetable

2005 QF v Adelaide @ AAMI

What can you say about this match that hasn't been said before?? Backs against the wall, away from home against the minor premiers we claim premiership favouritism as Rob Harvey does everything in his power to position himself for the premiership medal that should be on his mantlepiece.

The Cripps game we got pulverised

As an entire game not a great replay, but I loved the emotion of seeing Cripper come back, and do so in good personal fashion.

The best one was probably the Qualifying Final against the Crows in this year's finals series. St Kilda were brilliant, especially Harvey. He played one of his greatest games and he scored some important goals. He's one of the games all-time greats and he's worthy of a premiership.

I went to the two close matches between the Saints and Lions in 2003-04 and from a neutral perspective they were great contests. Both games had their fair share of lead changes.

This is out the time line but wasn't it in 1993 at Waverley Park, the Saints played the Bears and it started to hail?

Easy - the 2005 preliminary final, especially the final quarter. Watching the same Saints fans that were giving Swans supporters heaps at 3/4 time leaving the game before the final siren sounded was one of this years most joyous moments. Of course, it wasnt as good as watching my team collect the premiership trophy.

Could you give a more in depth summary? I want to know more about this game. Didn't Plugger also knockout John Worsfold's brother, Peter in that match?

Yeah, since 1986.
