Beat me to it St Luke.
Is this the best percentage after 7 rounds? Yes it is... The first time over 200 after 7 rounds.
I know it is the best winning margin over Collingwood? Yes it is..
How sweet it is!!!!!!!

I am still hurting from 71;
my gut churns thinking of 97;
2009 was agony,
2010a was a pleasure to watch only to be devastated by 2010 b.
It hurts barracking for the Saints

Saints smash Magpies 128-40 in AFL
May 11, 2009 - 10:14PM
St Kilda have celebrated their greatest victory over Collingwood and regaining top spot on the AFL ladder after an 88-point triumph Etihad Stadium on Monday night.
The Saints' 20.8 (128) to 5.10 (40) victory was their biggest over the Magpies in 205 clashes spanning more than a century, and gave them a seventh consecutive win for the season.
Captain Nick Riewoldt booted five goals and goalsneaks Adam Schneider and Stephen Milne kicked four apiece.
A crowd of 46,880 will also satisfy the AFL that the Monday night timeslot can be a long-term success, although officials will be relieved they count crowd numbers at the start of games rather than the end, as many Magpie fans departed early given their side's woeful showing.
Collingwood managed just one goal in the first half - via a free kick to Tarkyn Lockyer - and at times were comical with their use of the ball.
Their midfield had no answer to ruckman Michael Gardiner's impact, and the run and skill of Leigh Montagna, Nick Dal Santo, Jason Gram, Brendon Goddard and Lenny Hayes.
Completing another exemplary team showing for St Kilda, Zac Dawson turned the tables on Anthony Rocca given their famous mismatch of three years ago, while fellow defender Sam Gilbert beat Travis Cloke.
Such was the size of St Kilda's victory, they raised their percentage back above the dizzy heights of 200 at a stage in the season, when early percentage should be descending.
The Saints' win surpassed their previous best margin over Collingwood, 73 points, achieved in 2005.
After a fairly even first quarter, the Saints took control with six unanswered goals in the second quarter, and another six in the third to make the win a formality well before the final siren.
Collingwood entered the match severely depleted, as forward Paul Medhurst (ankle) and midfielder Leon Davis (hamstring) withdrew before the game, and were badly missed.
