St Kilda Football Club 2012

The St Kilda Football Club was a foundation club of the VFL in 1897 who are located in Melbourne and steeped in tradition. Nicknamed the 'Saints’ they play their home matches at Etihad Stadium and club colours are red, white and black.

St Kilda has won only the one premiership in their proud history which was in 1966 when they defeated Collingwood by 1 point in one of the great grand finals. They hold the record of 27 for the most wooden spoons (finishing last on the league ladder).

In recent years the Saints they have played plenty of finals but have been unable to capitalise when it mattered most, falling short in multiple Grand Finals against Geelong and Collingwood.

St Kilda in 2011
St Kilda had a disappointing season by their recent high standards and the two shining lights were small forward Stephen Milne and the ever reliable Nick Dal Santo. The Saints season was basically over before it began with all the off-field trouble they had before and during the season and they did quite well to finish where they did in the end.

The Ross Lyon brand of footy was boring to watch and did nothing to help Nick Riewoldt up forward, but with Lyon exiting the club at season's end and the arrival of Scott Watters as new coach may hopefully signal an end to Saints footy and they might get back to playing AFL footy and be good to watch again.
