Victorian Football League 1897 to 1989

Early years in the VFL

St Kilda's early years in the VFL were not successful. The club joined the new breakaway VFL competition and struggled to establish itself and finished last in nine of the first 14 seasons of the VFL competition.

Six successive wins to start 1907 saw the club make the finals for the first time, finishing third with 9 wins and 8 losses. St Kilda was beaten by Carlton in the club's first VFL final by 56 points. The club again finished third in 1908 and was eliminated by Carlton by 58 points.

The years 1912 to 1915 saw major improvement, highlighted by a 1913 season in which the team finished fourth and were eventually beaten in the 1913 Grand Final by a powerful Fitzroy side 7-14-(56) to 5-13-(43).

Resuming after recess

St Kilda Football Club was in recess in 1916 and 1917. The club resumed in 1918 and fared well, making the finals in fourth position, but was eliminated by Collingwood in the semi-final by nine points, 58 to 49.

Results declined in the early 1920s, with the club finishing last in 1920 and 1924. The following years saw St Kilda establish itself as a more consistently competitive club which it remained until the 1940s. Colin Watson played brilliantly in 1925, winning the Brownlow Medal.

The 1940s and 1950s

The breakthrough win in the finals of 1939 did not herald a period of success for the club. The club won three of the first four games early in the 1940 season and was on top of the ladder after Round 4, before finishing second last. Though there was some high-class players like Harold Bray, Keith Drinan, Peter Bennett and later Neil Roberts, St Kilda were rarely competitive. The 1950 season saw the club win the first five games - before fading to finish with 8 wins and a draw in ninth place. Harold Bray (born July 5, 1920) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the VFL. Bray was recruited to the Saints from Prahran in 1941 and for the next ten years served the club with distinction as a pacy centreman. ...

The club finished last 7 times in 13 years between 1943 and 1955.

It is believed that only 17 St Kilda players from 1955 played for St Kilda again in 1956, while 11 new players appeared in the clubs opening match for 1956. The appointment of Alan Killigrew as coach eliminated the defeat-accepting attitude of St Kilda and soon made the team more competitive. St Kilda became more consistent in the late 1950s, vying for a finals berth consistently without making the finals. St Kilda had three consecutive Brownlow Medal Winners Brian Gleeson in 1957, Neil Roberts in 1958, Verdun Howell in 1959.
