We're still catching our breath after this one...the Grand Final of 1966 was an absolute thriller. St Kilda had worked its way within reach of its first premiership the previous year only to fall at the last hurdle, but there was something irrepressible about the Saints this particular afternoon. Full of young players of immense talent, St Kilda engaged itself in an intense arm wrestle with the experienced Magpies for the entire afternoon. But the further the game went the greater the feeling became that Collingwood's experience would be a telling factor. But the Saints weren't to be denied. Despite the fact that Collingwood was doing all the attacking late in the game, St Kilda's defence lead by Bob Murray, turned the tide consistently. It was the same up the other end where Ted Potter and his defence were put under intense pressure, but in a franctic countdown St Kilda youngster Barry Breen, playing in only his second season of league football, grabbed the ball from a bounce and snpped, scuttling it through for a behind. St Kilda led by one point. The clock seemed to dwell for hours through those last testing moments, but when the final siren sounded history had been made - St Kilda had won its first ever premierhsip and football had another great Grand Final to add to its list of memorable finales.
