Unpluggered

Another frustrating loss. Too often in close games, this season, the St Kilda Football Club has come up short. We look at the missed opportunity and ask ourselves once again "how did we lose that game?" while we look towards the Alistair Clarkson's depleted Hawthorn Hawks, in what really is a "must win game" at Metricon Stadium.

It was one that got away. While we didn't play well enough for long enough to deserve victory, ultimately the Saints should have left the GABBA with 4 points, but instead, left with a 2-point loss to the Brisbane Lions. Jack Steele was once again brilliant, while Seb Ross turned his hand to tagging, taking Lions star Lachie Neale out of the game. We look at the game and turn our attention to the next game, against the Melbourne Demons and their star midfielder, Christian Petracca.
Continuing the theme of 80s-90s Saints on Unpluggered, former defender-flanker, David Grant, joined us this week to talk about his 191-game career at the St Kilda Football Club which included a second place in the 1989 Best & Fairest and selection in the 1991 AFL All Australian Team.

**** EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING ***
It was a "must win" game for the St Kilda Football Club if playing finals footy was a serious goal for AFL 2020, and they duly delivered. Despite a lack of champagne football, the Saints controlled the game from start to finish against the Bombers to walk away with another 4 points. Max King received a deserved nomination for the NAB AFL Rising Star award in Round 12 for 3 goals - and he really should have had five or six - and a dominant performance against one of the AFL's best in Michael Hurley. We take a look back at a solid victory, with eyes on the next prize: The Brisbane Lions at the GABBA.
Former Saint and Hawthorn premiership swingman Russell Morris joined Unpluggered Podcast this week to talk about his 66 games at St Kilda FC, where the wonky #12 'social butterfly' won Tony Lockett's respect and quickly become a fan favourite at Moorabbin.

First loss in a month and some tired Saints came crashing back to earth after a near ten-goal loss to the Geelong Cats. The boys talk the positives and negatives of the disappointing result with an eye towards what looks to be a must-win game against the Bombers, who are coming off a draw with the Suns and a 4-day break themselves.
Former Australian cricketer and current Melbourne Stars' coach, David Hussey, joined us this week to talk about his love for the St Kilda Football Club, a famous family rivalry and other cricketing Saints, and an incredible domestic and international cricket career before watching this current iteration of Brett Ratten's young St Kilda FC.

Another hoodoo broken as the St Kilda Football Club left the GABBA after their first win over the Sydney Swans since 2012. The 4 points makes it three wins on the trot and the lads are in a good mood as they look toward another strong performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Metricon Stadium on Thursday night. Former Saint (and Swan!) Jason 'Jack' Daniels joined us to talk about time (115 games across two stints) at Moorabbin with Tony 'Plugger' Lockett, his famous kicking style, becoming a Saints cult figure, and the run to the 1997 AFL Grand Final.
We're also joined by Saints Pride and LGBTQI community advocate Mikey Cole to discuss his love for St Kilda FC and the importance of the AFL Pride Game and inclusivity in footy.

It was a game they just had to win, and the St Kilda Football Club duly delivered. It wasn't pretty but it was incredibly important, with the Adelaide Oval monkey off their back, and all eyes on a second game in five days in Adelaide - this time against Port Power - and a crowded upcoming AFL fixture featuring four games in 16 days. Former captain Luke Ball joins us this week to chat about the 2001 'Superdraft,' leadership and building a legacy, Finals campaigns and the personal toll the move to Collingwood took on him and his family.

The boys try their best to put a demoralising Round 6 result behind them, but the memory of losing a 36-point lead to Fremantle is ever-present. Focus turns to Round 7 against the Crows in Adelaide, with the St Kilda Football Club desperate for a chance at redemption and remain in AFL Finals contention. Childhood Saints supporter (and 12th all-time on St Kilda games played) Justin 'Frankie' Peckett, joins Unpluggered Podcast to talk about the ups and downs of his decade and half at St Kilda FC.

We're off to Queensland! With Melbourne in COVID-19 lockdown once again and the Saints heating up in sunny Noosa, the boys recap a pretty satisfying Round 5 victory over Carlton, which sees the St Kilda Football Club sitting in the AFL's Top-4 for the first time in a long time. We also hear from former St Kilda FC midfielder - 2000 Trevor Barker Medallist - Andrew Thompson, about his time at the St Kilda Football Club both as a player and director on the Club's board following his retirement in 2007. Plus, we have a special guest appearance from the co-founders of the Queensland Saints supporter group, Murray and Bev Browne, to give us some insight into club activities in the Sunshine State and what to expect as a St Kilda supporter up north as we look towards Round 6 against the Fremantle Dockers at Metricon Stadium in the "AFL Queensland Hub."
