The Best Saints from Tasmania.

The Best Saints from Tasmania.
Continuing the off season Best Of Teams. Here are those from across Bass Strait named in or as close to their playing positions as possible. Players names are listed, years played, number of games played for St.Kilda and where known, the club originally recruited from. As with the Ballarat Saints and the Best of the Recycleds, I'll leave this thread live for a week or so and welcome everyone's contributions/suggestions for change, hopefully unearthing some others that I may have overlooked.
All contributors considered as selectors! If anyone could contribute by pointing out the original clubs where that information is missing it would be most appreciated.
There are some real gems here, it is quite a formidable line up.
Enjoy.....

Yes he did indeed. For the record, Nick didn't play football in Tasmania.Milan Faletic wrote:You're a bit of grumpy bum tonight, BS.Bernard Shakey wrote:Who the hell is Darrell Bonney?
John Bonney played for St Kilda from '67 till '76, he wore No. 1.
Elvis put a lot of effort in to that post.
Cup eve drinks?

There was also
Graeme Kettle - Sth Launceston
Brett Jeffrey - Latrobe
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
From memory, Matthew was recruited from school in Launceston by Hawthorn and made his way to St Kilda later in his career.Elvis wrote:Anyone know where Matty Young was recruited from?Frankie wrote:What about Matthew Young?
