ok...
I've kicked Jnr off as its his bed time (no school for him tomorrow)
If you want a clue, as I said before the only reference I have is the net and the book "100 years of Australian Football"
well it's not on the net......
It's what I mentioned in my last post, it has something to do with the lake, but back then there was no man made lake.
From what I gather it might have been a swamp (got that from the net)

Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!

No ric, Selhurst Saint is not right.
You are right about David McNarmara as the player mentioned in an article I am referring to, but it was much earlier than 1923....
If no one gets it by tomorrow, I'll give it to Selhurst Saint.

This is just a guess, as I have no real idea on this one.Selhurst Saint wrote:This might be obscure, but what was significant about the last time Russell Greene touched the footy in a game for St.Kilda.
The siren went?

I'll pay that St.Fid.
We were actually 6 pts in front with one minute to go. Richmond booted the ball into their goal square only for Russell Greene to rise above the pack to take a screamer. I was still jumping up and down going nuts when he had a brain freeze and tried to handball over the top. The ball was blocked by Richmond and Kevin Bartlett ran onto the ball to slam it home to seal a draw.
Come Thursday we had traded Greene for Mark Scott and King. It happened that quick that Scott and King both wore their yellow Hawthorn boots in their first game for us. It looked ridiculous.

Roberts was dismissed for making some pretty inflammatory criticisms of the VFL in the paper (Sporting Globe?) and on Channel 7, where he was a panelist on World of Sport (the '60's James Hird, perhaps?St Fidelius wrote:WOW, thanks Selhurst...
Why was Neil Roberts dismissed as a Committeeman after giving 15 years service to the Saints?
And in what year did this happen?
