"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
1987 was the first season which I really enjoyed and genuinely felt optimistic for the club in the future.
Watching the big man alone was an absolute joy.
I remember thinking I was in dream world when we were a chance to finish in the top 5. Then we fell back down to earth with a thud after getting eaten alive by the bottom team of that year, Richmond
However, games like the demolition of the Eagles at Moorabbin will definitely outshine the gloom of being eliminated from the finals race.
Cheers, Macca

'87 was a very tight year...
I think we were 11th but only maybe two wins off 5th...Have I got that right?

That was back in the days when we dreamed of making the finals.
No one thought of tanking then, just because we didn't think we could actually win the flag
Didn't we win a hole bunch of games towards te end of the year, with Pluggar ripping the arse out of teams. I remember we played a game late against the filth at morrabbin and after trailing by scoot at 3 quater time we came back to smash them.
I thought we were on the way and that we would walk into the finals the next year. How wrong I was

St Kilda vs WCE rd 8 '1987
Thanks for posting all of these videos on youtube, I'm loving it. I was wondering if you had by any chance the 1997 Preliminary final between St.Kilda v North Melbourne... One of my favourite nights at the MCG that one.

I was behind the goals that day. I also remember Brian Taylor was put to full back, and pluggar destroyed him, daicos ran into him an went arse over, so funny to watch,

I was at that game too. Do you remember the goal Plugger kicked from CHF when he turned around and roosted it through off one step? At the time, i thought it was amazing...
