Verdun Howell Brownlow 1958
Lucky I found some good info from hutchy finally.
Great for the club to buy his brownlow back. Gotta just give big thumbs up for the club/board reacquiring heritage like that....
Is the gentleman still alive??? Again great initiative by the club!!!

A job well done by our club's board.
Thanks for the news, I went outside to get some wood in when Hutchy was on as I normally do & missed the announcement.
St Kilda's 2 premiership captains are Tassie born. The Doc & Roo.
Has Verdun fallen on hard times?GrumpyOne wrote:Was a bit miffed that Verdun was selling his Brownlow, but had the reasons explained to me in a pm, and understood the need.
Excellant effort by all concerned to bring this off. After all, Verdun was one off the players who took cents in the dollar owed so that we still have a club to support.

Probably because he very rarely has a good news story. He's usually delving through rubbish bins & trawling up cr@p on people. Or just making it up.jonesy wrote:Usually no one believes a word Hutchy says?

Just because he reports a good story doesn't make him a decent bloke.

If he said that the deal has been done, then I reckon Hutchy is a bit like Carlscum's slogan on this story - premature.Animal Enclosure wrote:Probably because he very rarely has a good news story.

Just interesting if he had of stated something negative the thread would be full of "BS. The bald germ is lying again" ,"scum of the earth liar" ,etc etc
Bring back the Lockett era
A word of caution..... the W E Green company is still producing reprints of the Grand Final Winners Posters.Mr Magic wrote:Another Saints item of interest in the same auction is written up here:-

If you intend bidding, make sure you are getting a 1966 issue one, not a later reprint.
Not 100% sure as I can't find my copy of "The Point of it All" to confirm. Perhaps someone could look it up for us?mcadam05 wrote:GrumpyOne wrote:

He Was? are you sure. his last game was in 1968 how would the club owe him any money by the early 80s

Just checked here and it only says he coached Richmond's twos.
Im sure the Point of it All would be a touch more accurate but it doesn't appear he coached us at any level.

If there is a deal I hope he hasn't stuffed it up in some way by announcing it too early?
got that right...the guy's a piece of crap.....Animal Enclosure wrote:Probably because he very rarely has a good news story. He's usually delving through rubbish bins & trawling up cr@p on people. Or just making it up.jonesy wrote:Usually no one believes a word Hutchy says?

It makes no mention of it, as only a half a dozen of the major creditors are mentioned from the players and coaches who were owed $470,797. So it could be, perhaps from a provident fund. It would not have been much by 1984.
