I'm new on here

Post: # 1513618Post Shady's Balls »

I have been a saints fan for over 70 years.
I recently got my first iPad and started reading this forum.

My favourite saints are Oswald, Ross, Stewart, Baldock and Tom Meehan, I'm still annoyed that he went to Fitzroy after leaving StKilda.

Looking forward to discussing saints topics with you all.

I wouldn't have thought so. At that age I wouldn't think they would get that much sun.

Take another look guys, Oswalds nick name was shady.
He was known to call shady's ball at training.

Shady, is that Jimmy Ross you are referring too? No. 20? He was one of my favourites as a kid. And Keith Rosewarne.

Tom Meehan,
Welcome Shady.

I used to work with Tom's brother Jack Meehan. He was a Sergeant at D.24 (Communications Centre) Russell Street Police Headquarters in the early 1960's

Jack used to tell us that it wasn't Tom in that famous photo of Jack Dyer hitting the Saint ? Meehan (on the cover of Captain Blood's autobiography)........ Jack M used to swear it was him, not Tom. Never saw Tom to do a comparison of looks. It looked very much like Jack Meehan in the photo. Can you shed any light on which brother you think it was?

Too young to remember Tom & Jack Meehan. Either one though a relative of Simon Meehan, who played for the Saints in the early 80s?

Remember the name. Just googled her. Seems her partner was/is Anthony McDonald, the player agent(?)

Anyway welcome Shady and your balls.....
