Soft spot for the Saints

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for ST. KILDA FOOTBALL CLUB -- the Saints won the Premiership of AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL in the magical year of 1966 (the year I was born!).
St Kilda have made a remarkable start to this season, too.
The club defeated ESSENDON today at Docklands, 13.12 (90) to 10.11 (71).
This result gives the Saints eight wins out of eight matches to start the AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE season -- matching the exploits of powerhouse club GEELONG.
The club was established in 1873 and the name comes from St. Kilda, a southern Melbourne suburb located on Port Phillip Bay. Once associated primarily for its amusement parks (akin to Coney Island), St. Kilda the suburb eventually became home to Melbourne's punk subculture (probably another reason why the football club resonates for me).
Back in 1966, club legend Ian Stewart won his second consecutive Brownlow Medal (presented to the league player judged "the best and fairest"). In the GRAND FINAL that season, St Kilda edged Collingwood, 10.14 (74) to 10.13 (73), to win the Saints' only title.
Maybe this season will be magical, too?
