Yeah and ended up kicking a career best 127 goals in that season too. Unbelievable he was.Thanks for that GJD23! Three of the best Saints games I have ever been to. I can still remember the noise when Danny Hughes was dragged at Moorabbin as Plugger lined up for yet another goal. The Gabba with the dog track still in situ and then the SCG the following week.
Lockett ended up kicking 10 goals or more six times that year (having missed the first six rounds), then followed it up with 9 in the Elimination Final against Geelong. I reckon I might have been lucky to have seen every St Kilda game that year.* Certainly I was at the three interstate matches (Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide) and I haven't been to that many interstate matches in a season before or after that 1991 season.
It was a great Saints team to follow especially after a miserable run in the 80s.
* Edit: Just had a close look at the '91 fixture and I didn't go to the Eagles match in Perth. I've never seen the Saints play in Perth . The other three interstate games I mentioned were the ones Plugger kicked 10 or more.
