Don't knock it 'til you've tried it!

You sure he wasn't a Hawthorn supporter...?

Come to think of it............Hey, wait a minute!

Same here. I went to primary school at St.Agnes in Highett. Lots of sainters, hardly any opposition. This was the early to mid 70s, when our club was still feared and a regular finalist.

I didn't stand a chance, did I? I remember after I'd finished crying when we lost in 1971, my neighbour, a fanatical saint, assured me we'd win another one soon. He said winning a flag was the greatest feeling in the world and I'd be sure to experience many more.

I'm still waiting, of course. I should sue the bastard for breach of promise.

At Hampton State/Primary it wasn’t St Kilda rich. I was also early to mid 70s and I seem to remember a lot of Richmond jumpers. North, South even. Fitzroy and Essendon. Sandy jumpers.

1974 was when we Grade fivers would be considered the ‘biggies’ .. But just as we felt big, St Kilda slid into terminal decline, finishing 10th in a 12 team comp not good! Lost six out of the last seven games! See, I got my St Kilda jumper in ‘74 and was so proud. Damn.

Massive improvement in ‘75 but missed the five.

1976 9th
1977 spoon
1978 bi-polar disorder season

……next is 1991

By then I am supporter with ‘character’. And a very dark sense of humour.
