I thought I might liven things up a bit seeing as most loyal sainters are feeling a bit flat at the moment. Just a bit of fun I had with some mates the other night. As long suffering sainters, who saw our fair share of games in the 80's, we came up with our worst ever side (post 1980). Only qualifications were the players had to have played at least one senior game (Rules out Greg Dax, the guy we recruited because he won the Wycheproof "King of the Mountain" 3 years running. Good at carrying sacks of wheat up a steep incline, not so great at football!), and must have played between now and 1980.
If you think we are not travelling well at the moment, cast your minds back to when those mentioned below were running around in the red white and black! Things could be worse! I challenge anyone out there to come up with a saints team that could be beaten by this collection!

I would replace Park with "Bertie Keeble".
If you are referring to Neil Park he was actually very talented footballer where I think Bert Keeble may have played in three losses in a row over 100pts. In the back pocket.

hey add Mordechai Bromberger, smart guy, crap player.
How about making a composite crap player such as:
Kicking Skills of Jason Daniels
Height of Paul Callory
Defensive abilities of Fraser Gherig
Courage of Aaron Fiora
Cool football intelligence of Robbie Muir
Dilligence of Rod Owen
Love of the club of Tony Lockett

Don't know what yuou were watching but Mordy was a much better player than the others mentioned in this thread so far.Saints in 20?? wrote:hey add Mordechai Bromberger, smart guy, crap player.
He was basically a back-pocket player that later on had a run as ruck-rover.
IIRC he won a TV for best on ground in one of our night games?

Since i was born in 88 ill go by the duds i have seen play over the years.

R Crapouano McGough T.Delany
Int Ackland K.Bardsley L.Beveridge R.Powell
Emg T.Knobel J.Daniels S.Sziller

How would this team fare against essendon of 2000, carlton of 95, geelong of 2007 or Brisbane of 01,02,03??
Scary isnt it!!!!!
I guess one way of looking at it though, is that they have played more games of AFL than i ever will or anyone else on this forum, so good on them. But at the same time, why put us through so much hell seeing them go about their business and put shame to the red, white and black!!
The sad thing is, these were the players that came so quickly to mind and didnt require much thought, and a lot of them actually played together
eg. Davis, Capuano, T.Elliot, Plapp, S.Charles, F.Cambell

Wasn't given much of an opportunity (1 game), he's ripping it up in the amateur league, seems like he's kicked 8 goals every game so far this year. His brother is highly rated for this years draft, top 5 quality.3rd generation saint wrote:People, there has to be a place for Fergus Watts, only got selected because of his father.
Why can't St.Kilda people produce decent offspring?

I'm not a genetecist, but just take a look at the time the Clarke Brothers have spent on the sidelines.
