Here is the facts which no one can argue against.
Footscray's finals appearances since the VFA Premiership of 1924.
1938, 1942, 1944, 1946, 1948, 1951, 1953, 1954, 1956, 1961, 1974,
1976, 1985, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2006, 2008
St Kilda's finals appearances since the Footscray VFA Premiership of 1924
1929. 1939, 1961, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1972,
1973, 1991, 1992, 1997, 1998, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008
The seasons in which both Footscray and St Kilda have made the finals have been -
1961, 1992, 1997, 1998, 2006, 2008
1961 Footscray beat St Kilda, Footscray beat Melbourne
1992 Footscray beat St Kilda
1997 Footscray beat Sydney
1998 Footscray beat West Coast
2006 Footscray beat Collingwood
Footscray always win at least one finals game in a season where we make it and St Kilda makes it.

Same argument- safe logic
Footscray always wins at least 1 finals game in a finals series in which St Kilda also makes the finals in the same year.
So there it is -we will beat the Queenslanders and then play the rampaging St Kilda.
The last time we won two finals in a series was 1961 and St Kilda was one of our victims in that 1961 campaign and of course we made the Grand Final.

Bringing this back after 1 whole year.

Here's hoping we get to beat St Kilda in the finals this season! Tomorrow I'm in for some serious nail-biting. As it is a friday game, I'll have to settle for a few furtive peeks at some site's live online stats during work. Oh well, as long as we win.

We want (and need) St Kilda in the finals every year.

The other one is that Sydney haven't beaten us in Melbourne since 1987#
Then if the Northern Blues win today- then that fact become irrelevant this year.
# Well I emphasise the word beat- as we played a draw in 1991 at home.
