So my question is - How many times have FOUR StKilda players kicked 4 or more goals in the same game?
Even better, provide the details - year / round / opponent / players / goals
Across all teams that's happened 54 times. Against St Kilda it's happened 10 times (more than any other team).

For St Kilda - three times. Two of them are the two that kosi posted, in 2004 rounds 8 and 9. (How good were those first ten rounds that year? Best fun I've had at the footy.)

The other was in 1987, round 7 against Richmond. Plugger kicked 6, Nicky Winmar, Kenny Sheldon and Rocket Rod Owen all kicked 4.

That's all I can find. A couple of years later, Hawthorn were the only team to have five players kicking four or more in one game. In Hobart in round 6 1991, they kicked 36 goals overall and beat Fitzroy by 157 points. Jarman and Ben Allan kicked 7 each, Dunstall 6, Hudson 5 and Anthony Condon (!) kicked 4.

Correct Bergholt.
Just the 3 times and twice as Kosi pointed out in that glorious 2004 streak when anything and everything was possible.

The tallest and shortest AFL players born in 1969 both played for the Saints. Who were they?

Since 1960 there have been 6 Saints players who have also played cricket for their state. Can you name them?

Great work bergsone, the other one played only 4 games with the Saints. As a clue think name of a cricket umpire.

Name the 9 players who've had six or more 30 possession games against St Kilda in the last forty years.

For extra credit, name the 14 St Kilda players who also had a 30 possession game against us - good luck with that one!

Adrian Fletcher would have had some 30+ games against us.

Correct. He's one of the six who did it twice against us. Though he's interesting because his were eight years apart and for two different teams! Geelong and Freo. He never had 30 against us when he was at Brissie.

I always liked Fletcher, not sure why we let him go after only one year. Imagine if he'd been in that 97 side as well...

Fletcher and Kickett were great in 92. I still don't know why they left.

A couple more for that list. Russell Greene and Tony Francis.

Both correct.

Fletcher I don't know why he left. Francis, on the other hand, I don't know why we thought there was any point picking him up.

Correct, against the Kangas in our great run at the start of 2004.

That's four out of fourteen, not a bad start: Black, Fletcher, Francis, Greene.

Quick clue: one of the others was a Brownlow winner.
