Watching yesterdays GF i noticed during the 3rd Qtr Bruce Wankavaney used the old "this is the premiership qtr" chestnut.
So i thought id check our so called premiership qtr record. So heres our third quarter efforts in our Grand Finals.
1913 Vs Fitzroy (who were known as the Maroons at the time, not the Lions)
Stk 1.5 Fitz 1.3
Not very impressive, yes technically we did win the qtr ( just) but we lost the game
1965 Vs Essendon ( who were known as the Bombers at the time , not the Drug Cheats)
Stk 1.3 Drug Cheats 5.8
Ess clearly were on the gear all those yrs ago as they smashed us. We lost game
1966 Vs Collingwood ( who were, and always have been referred to as The Filth )
Stk 3.3 Filth 2.4
Not what youd call a dominant qtr, but we did win and also won the Game


1971 Vs Hawthorn
Stk 4.3 Hawks 1.3
Despite having a good 3rd qtr and also trying to knock out half of the Hawks side, we lost game
1997 Vs Adelaide
Stk 2.2 Crows 6.1
This clearly was a Premiership Qtr effort. Sadly by Adelaide not by us. Shane Ellen?? WTF!!! We lost game
2009 Vs Geelong
Stk 2.4 Cats 2.3
Just won Qtr, just lost Game
2010 Vs Collingwood
Stk 3.3 Filth 0.5
Despite our best 3rd qtr effort since the 71 GF and keeping the Filth goaless ,once again we failed to win . Draw
REPLAY
Stk 3.1 Filth 5.3
Lost Qtr , sadly lost Game
So what do we make of this? Well obviously i am an extremely boring person who has too much time on his hands. And The Saints have never had a totally dominant 3rd qtr in a Granny. 71 & '10 were very honorable but we failed to win either game.
Hopefully in 2017 White and Lee kick a bagfull in the 3rd Qtr of the GF and we win
Id like us to win one before im wearing incontinence pads and being spoon fed in a nursing home
