THE REAL GRANDFINAL OF FOOTBALL


Another year over a poor old Saint Kilda (The Saints) failed in their quest for a Premiership after a drought of 43 years after Geelong (The Cats) came through in the final quarter and defeated the luckless Sainters by 2 goals (12 points).

St Kilda vs Geelong
Geel 12.8.80 df. StK 9.14.68

It was a pleasure to relax and watch a hard fought close game in difficult (read pissing down) conditions and be reminded how lucky we to have evolved away from the one size fits all, mindless boredom of the soccer match. Of course, a hint of sadness remans in the pits of our stomach at the fate of our Mighty Shinboners (North Melbourne) who spent the season languishing in the cellar.
