harveys 350th at Subi. was there, and like everyone with 5 mins to go i thought it was gone. but we kicked the last 3 and on the score board had an easy win.
absolutely amazing game to be at

Not the best but exciting none the less was the Essendon game last year needing to win by about 100 to secure 4th. And because Adelaide whinged so hard about it.

Best game I've been to 2005 QF vs Crows at AAMI
This is my favourite as well. Was probably the only supporter in the top deck of the members stand to stand and cheer when the final siren went. Felt like i was naked from the looks I got.

Probably 1997 prelim v north as the consequences of hat win were a dream I never thought i would see, although turned to a nightmare.

Equal second Harvey v Adelaide 2005 final, 1992 final v collingowwod when HArvey embarassed McGuanne and at Moorabin v Carlton Plugger v Carlton.

My favourite home and away is Rd 2 1989 v Carlton - 20 years this year! Plugger kicked 10.7 on SOS, his last inside the final minute, and we beat them by less than a kick. Collingwood by a point, MCG, 80,000 people, Queens Birthday Monday 1992 was a cracking win, too.

My most memorable as well. I was actually at that game and standing behind the goals where he kicked it ( actually I was always behind the goals when he played as we always swapped ends every quarter).

It still blows me away how he snatched that mark over the top of him from behind and made it look so easy.

It was a fantastic game with nearly 40,000 cramming into Moorabbin. The line to get in nearly reached the bowling club that day with many not getting in till 1/4 time.

The hit by Robbie Muir on Dennis Collins in the last quarter is unforgetable.

We had a fantastic team that year that included Barker, Sidebottom, Hunt , Young , Muir , Ditterich, Perovic, Duperouzel, Sarau, Greene, Okeefe etc.

Unfortunately quite a few left at the end of that season and the rot started from there and continued to 1986.

Agree..this is the best i felt after a game...Carlton were flag favourites and we knocked them off their perch and they never recovered after missing the double chance...Fitzroy only kicked 3 goals in perfect weather down geelong..
You forgot to mention Gellie in your list of players...he won our b&f that yr and dominated this game with a hand in most goals...

The first 2 elimination finals at waverley 73-74? we thrashed essendon both times young was simply saintsational

I think this thread has been done before, but here goes:

v Geelong at Kardinia when Hocking flattened Harvey. a few goals down against the wind at 3/4 time and we managed to win.

v Adelaide at AAMI stadium, 1st qualifying final where harvey dominated in a qualifying final

v Hawthorn in Barry Hall's last game for the club. Pretty stunning comeback with a weak team, coming back in time on to steal the match.

v smashing Sydney at the SCG circa 98? by 100 points. Sziller kicked 6 or so.

any win at Subi v WC is gold.

I'm sure i've missed a heap...

me too stinger.....and the sweetest thing of all was to do it to the pies by one solitary point....pure bliss.

only blot on the day was too see the majority of the Saints running around the boundary waving the vfl premiership cup in collingwood jumpers...

thank heavans that stoooooopid practise no longer happens.

so hopefully my second best win (that i'm yet to see) will be the whole Saints team doing a lap of honour in the tri-colour holding an afl premiersship cup.....pleeeeeaaaase soon sainters.

Games that we went to???

v Carlton 1995

10 goal win, mil hanna knocked out by keogh GREAT DAY!

v Lions 2004

What a game, beating the lions at full strength up and coming saints!

v Crows 2003

Dont know what it was but to see a young side smash the crows who were top 8 at least i dunno showed signs that this group would be good. Although last half fade out still a great day saints fans were pumped!!

NAB CUP GRAND FINAL 2004
Great win at that time to win any silverware great but gave us a 1-0 against the cats then.

BURKES send off 80 points v tigers
