Now I didn't know that. The last 10 times we did it make interesting reading too:

Good to see another avid reader of footy stats here! That's where i got the oil on Scotto reaching his 150th!

Not wanting to steal any of Bort's thunder - but I reckon the vast majority of those wins came in 1981 and 1982 - where we won most of our games with an 8 goal 3rd quarter blitz - after overcoming heavy Friday Night hangovers.


Oh - as I dip my lid to all the morons at SS - we must of cheated.

What ground was 'BS' where we beat Fitzroy in 1942?

makes that 1970 revival in the grand Final look VERY special.

BS I would say was the Brunswick St Oval.

I was intrigued by that 1985 Saints game that we won by 32 pts having only won one quarter. Quite amazing really!!

I checked it on Blueseum and, sure enough, we kicked 10 goals to 2 in the second term and they just beat us quarter by quarter in the other 3 quarters.

I wonder what the highest winning margin is for a team that has only won one quesrter?

WOW i just realised i was at all 3 of these games!

thats on top of seeing us win 4 times in a row last year and 2 from 2 interstate this year.

i've been pretty lucky - probably seen almost as many wins as losses at game ive been to live in the last 4 years. well above the team average
