Them's were the days, I remember a young bloke selling me a raffle ticket while a 2 up game was going on....he was later known as Plugger.Dr Spaceman wrote:The real partying went on later at night in an old change room under the main grandstand.
Like Hernando’s Hideaway it was not that easy to gain admittance. But it was well worth it on the occasions I managed to talk my way in. Plenty of booze was consumed away from the prying eyes of the Saints Disco patrons.
I took a Bombers supporting mate there one Saturday night and hours later found him locked inside a sauna. Wow Jones had been the culprit. My mate didn’t find it particularly funny but I still have a laugh when I think about it.
And of course there were the Pleasant Sunday Mornings and the Strip Nights, all in the name of raising money for the end of year trip of course.
But don’t get me started on them. Particularly the latter, as it only rekindles memories of Alan Sidebottom that I would rather forget
Went to a pleasant Sunday morning after the last game in 2000 when Hally kicked the winning goal after the siren. It was at the joint in Keys rd. The owner was a Saints man who later murdered his wife, I believe and then killed himself. Name escapes me for the moment. Anyway they had some mice racing and I remember Barry Hall's mouse coming last so he picked it up and bit its head off. Wasnt a great look. The mouse was later scratched for the rest of the racing. There was some great girl action later on though. Even 11 years later they couldnt do anything like that. The stripping i mean not the biting of mices heads.

I remember reading a Plugger Lockett profile in a footy record from around 1984. He said he drove a Commadore. So I assume that was his first car, considering he would have been about 18 years old at that stage.Tess wrote:What was Pluggers first car?

I recall Rod Owen being found at the bottom of the stairs with his nose squashed all over his face. He said he "tripped". Poor Rod, I really felt for him. By that stage he had acquired a habit of "tripping" over regularly. Still one of the greatest wasted talents to have played the game.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Liked his booze a little too much.
I dedicate this song to him

Milan Faletic told me it was the worst 2 years of his career...and the best party of his life! Reckoned Trevor Barker was top of the list whilst he was there, never without a girl under each arm. Shame that Milan didn't really recall the whole Saints experience overall as a positive...maybe it was the fact that many supporters shared that view about him? ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

The real dude...used to run a cleaning business that was contracted by my employer. Very down on his Saints days, but dug the disco!Dr Spaceman wrote:Milan the player or Milan the admin?degruch wrote:Milan Faletic told me it was the worst 2 years of his career...and the best party of his life!

He didn't play for anyone else in the VFL, was a champion (runner up for the Magery Medal one year) for West Torrens over here, but the talent didn't translate to the big time...not an orphan there (Barry Robran, Russell Ebert, Rick Davies, Brodie Atkinson, etc, etc).

He was certainly right about Barks. He was like royalty when he made his way into the social club. And a really nice guy to boot. Always happy to say hello to nobodies such as the young Spacey
