A bit further down you find this gold: Twitter

That's funny....classic Nick Davis....but further down, check Fitzy's 'Home Isolation' Resort, the 'CopaCorona' from the The Front Bar.....it's hilarious!

This was reported a few days ago - Craig Foster is organising athletes whose sport has been suspended to volunteer to help the elderly and disadvantaged during the Covid19 crisis. One of his volunteers is our own Adam Goodes. Apart from admiring their work, I was chuffed to read the following:

‘Craig Foster and Adam Goodes were supposed to be playing football together this year for the Waverley Old Boys over-35s.’

‘They got in one game together, a few weekends ago, before the pandemic forced the suspension of their season, and Foster loved what he saw from the dual Brownlow medallist.’

"He would have been an amazing player," Foster said.

"He reads the game well, he's a very strong, skilled attacker, good on both sides of his body ... we missed out there. We missed a gem."

On Fozzy's twitter feed there are a couple of vid links for Kizza, Parksey and Smooch and, separately, also Board member, Sam Mostyn, doing their bit via Addison Rd Community Centre to help out the vulnerable during the current pandemic: Craig Foster (@Craig_Foster) on Twitter.

Can't quite make out the players? But I'm guessing that the year might be 2005?

@@@@ I can't not tear up when I see that footage. Have never watched the 1st - 3rd quarters again however since that night. I'm suprised the DVD in the pack still works though for the amount of times I've watched that 4th quarter.

If one was to do a list of say the 10 most influential individual performances to win matches off their own boot, that night would have to be up there in the top few. None of those goals were easy kicks either under that sort of pressure (and the one easier one the set shot he had to do a shedload of work to take the mark).

If I remember rightly, by about three quarter time of that game, I was looking forward to the public naming, shaming and sentencing, of whoever it was, who decided to give the ground a good watering. It largely converted it into a wet weather game, and I always thought that we were a better dry weather side. For the first three quarters, it was a fumbly, dull and frustrating performance. Then along came Nick, to save us all; especially the groundskeeper.

Had to laugh when I heard on SEN that a couple of St Kilda players were doing positive things during the lock down by ringing members and thanking them for support.

The two payers? Dan Hannebery and Zac Jones. Ah, you have to envy that saint culture.

Tim Membrey was unavailable?

The Saints seem to have done well out of us over the past 15 years. Schneider, Dempster, Membrey, Hanners and Jones. No duds amongst any of those. I think that Jones is set for a big year once the competition resumes.

Schneider never reached a high standard with the Saints. Jones has serious limitations as a player in terms of decision-making and kicking efficiency. Hanners will never return to anything like his best. Only Membrey and Dempster improved after they left us.

What've we got back going the other way? Only Spida in that time period jumps to mind. But before that, Lockett. Probably there are others that people with longer memories will recall?

Barry Hall.

(And before him - and before Plugger- at least one of the Troys. Troy Gray I think.)

Massive move getting Hall. Despite his issues at the end, one of the best ever red and white players.

In the Lockett era, COB came to us, Gray (thanks Liz) and poor Robbie Neill went to the Saints.
And before that Cazaly

Jason Daniels and later Tommy Walsh?

I think Troy Gray was the other way round? Started with us, went to the Saints? He was a bit of a tease. Occasionally showed glimpses of something really good but never really produced.

Glad someone else mentioned Jayson "Jack" Daniels - a solid soldier who gave his all. But having him and Andrew Dunkley in the same backline was heart-in-mouth stuff.

Of course, there was the most important of all in some ways - Silvio Foschini. Basically responsible for destroying the VFL's zoning system as a result of his desire to leave the Swans and go to the Saints.
