He's been like the Rock of Gibraltar down back, especially in recent times. One of Ross Lyon's rare excellent recruitment choices.

Good on you Shinner, you've been an absolute credit to our club.

[Rosco]

happy for him, he is a rock

[saint-stu]

He has been outstanding for us this year. Has really owned that intercept marker role that used to be held by chips and then Gilbo (for a year or two).

Congratulations and thank you for your service to this club.

Who was better Pekin or Dempster???

Would have won if he was played down back in the 2009 GF.

Underrated and under appreciated - one our best for some time now. For consistency of quality i'd have him only behind Reiwoldt in our current team. Hope he reaches 250+

Thought it was absolutely vital we get more games from Chips Fisher, but with Dempster maintaining such great athleticism, i think i can see next year with Goddard/Delaney manning the biggest oppostion forards and Dempster playing that looser role.

He's been back to his 2012 form IMO!

Different players but both very good, pretty reasonable comparison.

Mr Reliable. Sean has been a great recruit for the Saints. The way that he carries himself is a credit to him. Sets a great example within the Club of a professional footballer.

I hope that he is able to stay on for the Saints renaissance, which he is playing a big part in.

SEAN Dempster does a good line in self-deprecation. For instance, this is how he describes the 2007 trade that resulted in him and Adam Schneider crossing from Sydney to St Kilda: '''Schneids' was the big ticket. I was the steak knives.''
But Dempster is not fooling anyone any more. Not the St Kilda fans who have come to love him for his commitment and his courage.

Modest ,quietly underspoken achiever who has had a big influence on the progress of middle aged veterans Armo,Steven and Gears.
Work ethic,preparation and application first class.

Would have to make the AA squad, wouldn't he?
