CARLTON Carlton had been a powerhouse team of the 1980s and was still a strong eal outfi t. The biggest match-up of the day was key forward against highly-rated defender . Lockett had an absolute day out with nine goals to his name late in the game. But his biggest moment came in the fi nal minute when he took a mark on the boundary line and calmly slotted his 10th goal to give the Saints a four-point win.

St Kilda fans who had spent years watching their team regularly lose to Carlton may have felt a bit of revenge in 2004 when they handed them a 108-point thumping.

MATCHUP HISTORY The round 14, 2009 clash is widely regarded as one of the great home and away games of the modern era. Both teams had gone into the game undefeated and the match was hotly anticipated as a dress rehearsal to that year’s Grand Final (which it turned out to be the case.) The match lived up to the hype right down to the fi nal minutes when St Kilda ruckman took a spectacular contested mark and kicked the goal to give the Saints the win. Gardiner took another mark shortly afterwards on the wing to hold up play and give his team a brilliant win.

The two teams have engaged in several big fi nals over the years including the GEELONG CATS GEELONG 1991 elimination fi nal that featured a shootout between Bill Brownless and Tony Lockett, qualifying fi nals in 2008 and 2010 and of course the Grand Final in 2009 which Geelong won by a narrow margin.
