1928

Post: # 1816191Post Beno88 »

Yesterday's win was our fourth by under a goal in 2019. The last and only time St Kilda has won four games by under a kick in a single season was 1928.

In 1928 we also lost one game by under a kick. We've done likewise in 2019.

In 1928 we missed the finals by percentage. A possibility in 2019.

In 1929 we made the finals.

Close wins show that a team has some ticker and knows how to win. Although some of those close wins haven't been pretty, good teams win on bad days.

I remember the mid to late 70's, when we would celebrate if we won 4 games :)


St. Kilda Football Club. Going strong, since 1960 :wink:

That score range has had some great and terrible occurrences for us...

2010 GF - 68
2009 GF - 68
1966 GF - 74
1965 GF - 70
1913 GF - 70

and the 1971 GF was 75.

So by the 1928 method we'll win the flag in about 40 years time :D :D :D
