Saints team of the Century Painting.

Post: # 1173046Post saintbrat »

and hidden messages given this snipppet from Michael
Before yesterday's interview, Nettlefold's passion for the Saints was obvious when he mentioned a few quirks in the Team of the Century painting. Above one locker sits a hair dryer, with Nettlefold pointing out it was only included because premiership hero Barry Breen and the late, great Trevor Barker liked to dry their hair properly.

That looks like one of pictures that only got put up yesterday (was sitting on ground when i was there), along with a heap of other memorbillia which is getting put up after some players complained the club had no "feel" about it.

Main centre piece is opposite the Honour Board where 5-6 pictures are being installed of a bunch of Hall Of Fame members. They had put up Tony Locket, Ian Stewart & Trevor Barker.

At least they are working on it now. I noticed even walking in front doors, apart from big signs on front of building as you walk inside there isnt really much to say your at the StKilda Football Club. You have the trophy cabinet on RHS and thats basically it.

true but at the moment it's redistrinuting the history from Moorabbin-I know there were plans for developement there- To be hoped that Finances can be sourced to to that and thus spread the saintly word from one to the other.

Just on that, what is the future for Morrabbin. Are we keeping a long term presence at Morrabbin and if so in what way?


I love this club

I contacted that site a long time ago , they replied they had none left. Very hard piece to come by.

2010 GF 1 week I met these 3 blokes having a beer at St Kilda, they were all old friends , one appeared top be quite well healed. We got into a conversation about the Team of the century print and i mentioned how hard they were to get and where did he get his ? He said he brought his at auction for i think he said $60k ,,, of course he has original. DOH !!!

It could have been a story for sure , but i tend to believe the bloke.


What will be next from this club ?
