I know this is a really random question, but does anyone have any pictures from the last game at moorabbin inparticular the banner.
See my health teacher caved in and let us do a project on our favourite sporting team and of course i choose the saints and i think the last game at moorabbin is really crucial to this.
I would be happy if anyone could PM any to me, but i think it would be better to just post them in this thread for the enjoyment of others.
Dont have any pics. But I think we beat fitzroy from memory. I remember walking across the middle of the ground immediately after the game and sucking in a glance up at the scoreboard as a lasting memory. Sad day.

Yeah was fitzroy as my dad was there (being a fitzroy man ) he said the emotion from some of the saints fans replicated that of fitzroy's last melbourne game.
was my first ever game live and I remember the roar when we kicked the winner. Was a great insight to how it would have been like to watch the game at moorabin, lots of fans all standing together tightly watching their team go around. Very different to the confines of TD these days

2013 trade/draft best ever?
Billings - future brownlow medallist Longer - future best ruck
Dunstan - future captain Eli - future cult hero
Acres - future norm smith
Yep. Sterile comes to mind these days. There could be a atmosphere at morrabbin in those days that was unbelievable. My grandparents lived 5kms from the ground and on a quiet day with the wind blowing right, they could stand in the back yard and hear the roar of the crowd for a moment.
Dosent get within a bulls roar of that at the dome. Almost theatre like sometimes.
Email the club, or better still Russell Holmesby Im sure there will be something in the archives.. I had a photo but have not seen it for years (thye ex probably turfed it out)
And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"
Was a Victorian Police Officer at the time and my job was to escort the goal umpire around at our cheer squad end of the ground for the day. I have very fond memories of that day. I had a ball.
wasnt it Craig Devonport who kick the winning goal?? and in my vast video collection i have a story DD(gold fm fame) did for wide world of sports talking too fans at that last game
I was there.
Very emotional day.
I remember getting there at half time in the reserves and walking a lap of the ground, remembering all the places I used to watch from as a kid before settling in to The Animal Pit.
I still have a "challis" full of gravel I excavated from the animal pit after the game.
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!
I was in the animal enclosure on that day too - everyone jostling for one last game standing in "their spot". I was prepared with a knife and container so I could take home a piece of Moorabbin turf. While I was hacking away in the middle a suited man tapped me on the shoulder and I thought I was in deep strife. Turned out he just wanted a piece for himself!
