The best of them ..George Young and Nicky Winmar..similar players with sublime skills...remember seeing George Young destroy Esendon in an elimination final in 72 or 3 ...weren't too many better saints than Georgie in full flight ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

George kicked 8 in that game, the week after moving to Full Forward against Footscray at the Western Oval and booting 9.borderbarry wrote:George was great didnt he kick 11 goals in a game, and Phil Carmen kicked 12 in the same match? What a feast of footy that was.
Unfortunately at Moorabbin Carmen's 11 got the Pies home.
Nonetheless those two games really kick started Yoing's career as a spearhead having previously been used mainly as a HFF.
And in doing so quickly became the fave of many Saints fans, including a much younger doc.

Only got a couple of games but a good mate of mine Luke Miles is from WA.
When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

I can believe that.linz wrote:I think even Allan Jenes said George Young was the most talented player he had ever coached. That was saying something.
It was certainly a privilege to have watched Young play.
He's a very big reason as to why I became a fanatical supporter who still goes to the footy each week almost 40 years later.
Hmmmm, when I think of it that way - bloody #27

Loved St George.

They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

He started off like a house on fire and was favorite to win the sandover for awhile but as the season went on his form started to drop a bit ... I think he has nominated for the draft again this year he did pretty good in the under 23 game late in the year so maybe a chance at another clubMCG-Unit wrote:Former Saints rookie Mark Hutchings.
