18th biggest win ever!

Post: # 1205171Post perfectionist »

The Saints have played 2220 games and this was our (equal*) 18th biggest win ever. We play the Suns again in Round 11, up there.

* We beat Carlton by 92 points in 2006. We also beat Carlton by 91 points in 2003 and by 108 points in 2004. We won 12 straight against Carlton from 2002 to 2009.

I have Carlton supporter mates and family members who ridiculed me through the 80s and 90s so they were good times. I hate them being good again as they are the greatest flogs on earth when they are going well.

Interested in how many of our 'biggest ever wins' have occurred with this group of players?

Off the top of my head...

Brisbane in 2005 - 139
Carlton in 2004 - 108
West Coast in 2004 - 100ish
Adelaide in 2011 - 110ish
West Coast in 2009 - 100ish

I reckon we may have been involved in the Pies biggest ever win some time in th 70's. Very ugly if my memory is correct.

178 points, round 3, 1979. Fortunately, Fitzroy (of all clubs) came to the "rescue" later that year, in Round 17, when they beat Melbourne by 190 points. Geelong did it to Melbourne last year too, beating them by 186. So now, we have fallen to third on the list - hardly worth mentioning.

Anyone happen to have the whole list? I reckon I would have been at a fair number of the top 20.
