"Sam Gilbert joins David Armitage at MPNFL club Bonbeach

There were two major signings in local football tonight as clubs continue to build their lists for the 2021 season.

Sam Gilbert had been linked with Mordialloc for a few weeks.

Instead he’ll line up with neighbouring Bonbeach, in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean league.

The Sharks confirmed tonight that they had signed former St Kilda defender Gilbert, 34, extending their Saintly link.

David Armitage was already a key recruit for the Sharks, who are also home to Trent Dennis-Lane and St Kilda favourite Justin Peckett.

Peckett is coaching the club’s Under 19s.

Gilbert had trained at Mordialloc, which also has a St Kilda connection in assistant coach Rob Eddy.

But Mordi were disappointed yesterday when Gilbert told them he’d instead be going to Bonbeach.

He last played football in 2019, a short stint in the VFL with Sandringham.

The rangy left-footer had 208 matches with the Saints from 2006-18 after being drafted from Queensland.

“At 194cm ‘Gilbo’ adds another tall option and will look to provide support needed to our younger developing ruck and key position players,’’ Bonbeach said tonight.

“Testament to the club’s direction and football program, Sam adds another layer to what is shaping as a side worth watching in 2021.’’

They just need Duthie to join the cheer squad and get the band back together!

Herald sun could write a story about it too... would be front page material

It could have been
"Saints school girl star joins David Armitage at MPNFL club Bonbeach"

[Mr Magic]

Isn't Gilbert suspended for a 'drug code infringement?

[mr six o'clock]

If Kim was to join the boys down that way she'd be a certainty to catch that flesh eating bacteria which occurs down the peninsula . Poor kid .

Cappy will be happy with those acquisitions at the Sharks. He's a Sainter.

Great fella Cappy, good coach too!

Armo looks in OK nick, not sure how his back is though?
Very vocal as expected, from reports a great pick up by the Sharks!

Haven’t seen Sam at training yet.

I get to a few Shark games myself. Weekender down the road. Will definitely go take a look.
