Epic is a great term for his year.
A player who is so driven KNOWS his chance for a flag is gone, and plays the way he did this year.
I am privileged to watch him play for the team I support
Not that I particularly like him, but I think it was Cameron Mooney who said he would be mentally scarred afterwhiskers3614 wrote:not sure you would want to be in an AA side that had Ballantyne in it!
+1To play as well and consistently week in week out with the wooden spoon side was one thing, but to show the leadership and continual determination at times when even the mightiest of leaders would have dropped their heads may well be his finest achievement to date in a St Kilda jumper. In my opinion shares the same level of standing in history with this club as the likes of Harvey, Lockett, Baldock, Barker and co. A great recognition for a great St Kilda person

Well done
I think Stinger is only referring to 'champion key forwards' in his post............. champion that Harves was........... he wasn't a key forward!fugazi wrote:Harvey not an absolute champion Stinger???stinger wrote:perfectionist wrote:I hope you are wrong, but fear you are right.
