Schmidt in big league

Former South Aussie lad Matt Schmidt has just scored the job as general manager communications for the St Kilda footy club.

Matt's no stranger to the footy world, with his brother Chris playing for the Brisbane Lons and cousin Tim playing for the Sydney Swans.

Chris, Tim and Matt - who used to work for Fosters - all grew up in Robertstown, 130km north of Adelaide.

Do think this has been previously posted.

Was just gonna say the same thing Bratty...Georgie Fidge was a lovely person but still hard as nails with the media when she needed to be

he used to work at Fosters in a very senior role I have met him a couple of times, highly regarded ....if its the same guy then this is another good pick up for the club .....he is a real Pro, didnt know he had the footy link with his brother and cousin.....

No doubt Georgie Fidge was a nice person, never met her, but why did we have so many media bloopers... if she was that good

From what I have heard of Matt Shmitt, we wont be looking silly in the media any more...
