The crowd was down as many expected a whitewash by Carlton against the lowly St Kilda. How wrong we were, but we should be thankful that only 17,902 people turned up to watch our second loss in a row.
Stewart "Buckets" Loewe kicked five goals against the Blues, while Rod Keogh and future Blue Craig Devonport led the Saints in a rout of the Blues.
Barry Mitchell and Brett Ratten found the ball, but one goal in three quarters was as poor an effort as you would read about.
Thankfully, the Blues turned it around and this would be our final loss for the whole 1995 season.
