Seven Years Ago Today
Saturday 3rd May - 1:45pm - MCG
Hawthorn 27.13.175
St Kilda 4.6.30
A putrid, freezing, wet afternoon. Hawthorn were at the peak of their powers, and we'd just begun an 18 game streak where we'd win just one game.
It was the biggest defeat I've ever witnessed, and the fifth worst in club history. In context, it was arguably St Kilda's worst ever performance when you consider it was a side including Riewoldt, Hayes, Montagna, Steven, Dempster, Schneider, Geary & Gwilt. And the conditions shouldn't have seen 20 goals kicked between two sides, let alone 27 by one.
It's probably best summed up by the fact Ryan Schoenmakers kicked as many goals as our entire team.
I remember walking out of the MCG that day thinking how small and pathetic our club had become. They wiped us away as if we were nothing, and their supporters were as smug as always. It felt as though we'd never beat Hawthorn again.
So regardless of how bad Hawthorn were on Saturday, or who they had out, how sweet it is seven years on to belt them, and to have won 4 of our last 5 against them. I don't like saying I hate anything, but I ******* hate Hawthorn.

Re: Seven Years Ago Today
When are we gonna belt a struggling team by over 100? Only when that happens will we be serious contenders.

Dunno about contenders, but 69 points with 19 more shots is pretty good.Waltzing St Kilda wrote: ↑Mon 03 May 2021 9:11pm When are we gonna belt a struggling team by over 100? Only when that happens will we be serious contenders.

Re: Seven Years Ago Today
Nothing could be as bad as enduring "THAT" loss to Collingwood in 79.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
