"It has become something of a truism to maintain that Aussies love an honest battler, as epitomised during the first World War by the tragic heroism of the defeated Australian forces at Gallipoli. In the sometimes equally fraught environment of Australian football, no club typifies the Gallipoli spirit better than St Kilda. Where other clubs boast of premierships, the Saints can point to an unparalleled collection of wooden spoons (27 in total)..."

John Devaney looks at the highs and lows of the ill-fated, but ever-popular seasiders, the St Kilda FC
