Irish Players with the Saints

Post: # 850905Post joffaboy »

Apart from Colm Begley this year, the only other Irishman I remember paying for the Saints was a bloke called Dermott McNichol in the early 90's.

Have only a couple of games and wore the famous No.60 :D

Apparently a madman on the training track. Loved the tackle bag.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Yeah remember him. Unfortunately a pretty ordinary player!!

Tommy Walsh on the other hand is a completely different unit. A much more chiselled athlete, has the strength and natural skills to adapt quickly. Impressed everyone when he was training with us last year, and has spent a year kicking a sherrin around with Tagh Kenneally (spelling??)

Think we may have hit paydirt this time around!!


I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

We also rookied another Irish lad several years back. But he never cracked it for a senior game.

Cathal Corr may ahve been Irish by birth but he did play under 18's football for Northern Nights so I would consider him a bit different than a kid coming straight out from ireland. Although Stynes played at Praharn in the old VFA before making it.

Not sure how long Cathal had lived in Australia before being rookied listed.

Thanks plugger66, I did not think it was a case of relocating to play AFL.
