Yep. But the bloody opposition ruckman was awake to it, and managed to get a finger tip on it right on the goal line. :evil:





Shoulda' waited till the next quarter when we weren't into the wind. :wink:

Alan Scott (St Kilda VFL) scored a goal from the centre of the MCG on June 3 1929, a distance of approx. 82.30m (90 yards).

Winmar almost kicked a goal from the wing at the G against Hawthorn in the late 80s.

And I remember Val Perovoc kicking a monster from the wing at Princes Park back in the 70s.

I also remember Bob Murray playing for the reserves (I think in the late 60s - not sure why he was playing in the twos), but he kicked in from the South Rd end with a monster kick and a howling Northerly behind him. It cleared the pack and got to centre half forward before anyone gathered it in.

It was a late act of exasperation. We got done pretty bad that day....Great kick tho!

Over the years I have managed to get to a small number of live Saints matches and as it happened a game that my parents decided to take the family to was that match against Carlton when Val Perovic kicked that monster goal as you described it Enrico. It is the one memory that has stuck with me from the day, it was a massive kick. Unfortunate that Val subsequently disappeared to the dark side!
