Biggest Sliding doors Moments

[older saint]

I was thinking the other day of the torture we as supporters have endured with closing doors moments:

Some spring to mind

1991 - Elim Final v Geelong - Burke and Grnat knocked out by Ablett Qtr 1, Lockett missing 2 sitters 1st qtr, Vidovic getting reported last qtr
1992 - Frawley doing achilies late in final v Collingwood - Chris Grant killed us next week
1997 - Vidovic doing his knee Rnd 22 v Adelaide
1997 - Everitt breaking collarbone Qualifying Final v Brisbane
2004 - Wanganeen from his backside on the boundry puts Port in front for final time
2009 - Schnieder and McQaulter running into open goal in 1st and 2nd Qtr of GF
2010 - Fisher doesn't see Kosi 50 mtrs clear on otter wing - goes down line Maxwell marks over Gilbert - Collingwood goal
2010 - Bouncing ball Milne

I honestly believe a few go our way we win 1997, 2004, 2009 ,2010 .

Throw in 2004 - crowd invasion for Gherig 100 goals and Saints players totally losing focus.

please stop

Round 10, 1963 Junction Oval. In the last minute, Darrel Baldock shot from 30 out on the run and just missed. We would have won by a point and finished top rather than 4th.

1971 GF. Third quarter. We are killing them and 4 goals+ up. Barry Breen has a shot (again) on the run from 30 out and the ball just grazes the post. Hawthorn then got a fluke goal immediately after and were only 20 points down at the final break.

1986. Had we kicked just 9 goals more in each of our games, we would have finished on top.

[The Fireman]

the Looney Tunes Shaw throwing himself on Roos shot at goal.

[stevie]

1991 - Plugger misses an easy mark 20 out in the last.

2004 - Chad Cornes deliberate kick to the boundary not paid to us with bare minutes to go

2009 - the first goal of the last qtr to us would've put us up 13 Pts and full of pump.

2010 - Gilbos phone gets lost in the hotel swimming pool on arrival

2013 - Blake Johnstone misses his ride to Mad Monday

[SemperFidelis]

please stop

I'm with you. I think we all collectively need therapy to move forward.

This is the stuff of nightmares ...

[stinger]

one recruiting decision cost us a couple of premierships.......ball instead of judd....

That hurt .....

2001 draft L.Ball before C.Judd

[gringo]

2001 draft L.Ball before C.Judd

Yup or even if the Hawks took Ball and we got only hodge and Judd to choose from.

[stinger]

2001 draft L.Ball before C.Judd

already said that....

[BringBackMadDog]

1997 GF - Jason Heatley who hardly ever missed, hit the post, would have put us 5 goals up, Adelaide kick the next two
2009 GF - Hawkins Alleged goal
2009 GF - Scarlets toe poke to Ablett

[stevie]

1961 - my mother refuses another drink in the back of my dads ute late one night. He drives her home. 9 months later, I'm not born.

2013- the moment the flame touched the dwarfs clothes, the current culture went up in smoke. Caro had a new Saints story to milk

[Scollop]

September 2006 -Saints president sacks Grant Thomas and files Supreme court writ against him less than 6 months later. Ross Lyon is appointed senior coach and the legend of Lyon is born.

Draft period Oct 2010 - Self preservation and selfish short term planning will be remebered as the legacy of Lyon. If it didn't work 3 or 4 years running what made Rossco think he could land a flag with even more rejects from other clubs?!!!!?

April. 2011 - Ross Lyon declares "the end of an era". He clearly was not interested in the longer term future of the St Kilda footy club (and didn't really care). The footy department and the board and CEO and those backing the 'In Ross we trust' philosophy would no-longer be fooled by an apprentice senior coach. The Saints appoint Chris Pelchen shortly afterward as the head of our footy department.

September 2011 - Ross leaves our club with a list in decline. The failures by Ross Lyon to land the ultimate prize and the bitterness and anger I felt was exacerbated by the realisation of the age profile of our players. That is the legacy of the legend of Lyon.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

1997. Joel Smith does his knee late in the season.

2009. Ross Lyon (no doubt a great coach) lets his ego get the better of him, disenfranchises heart-and-soul players Ball, Hudghton and Maguire, believes he can win a flag with mediocrities role-playing to his peerless game plan.

one of the hydrogen atoms goes this way rather than that
st kilda wins every vfl/afl premiership ever contested

[Teflon]

When I was born our family Dr (a stout Hawks man) had to duck out for a durry and his stand in was this skinny Saints Dr...rest is history....

[kimberly saint]

dont do this to your self and our fellow sainters

[Jacks Back]

Years ago when they changed the zones and the Mornington Peninsula was taken away from us and went to the hawks. Cost us Leigh Mathews, Dermie and probably a few others I dare say.

[Leo.J]

When Dermie lied about where he lived to avoid being in the Saints zone!

Although it was quite positive at the time.
