St Kilda Football Club Congratulations to Sam Gilbert who was this weekend named part of our Leadership Group for 2010.

NO surprise at all.

My brother went to the game on the Gold Coast in 2008 and happened to be on the same flight up as the team. He spent the flight sitting next to the team psychologist. The bloke was friendly and happy to chat and said that Gilbo had been earmarked very early on as very high potential and a definite future leader of the club.

Would he be the only change to the leadership group?? May be have one more addition? We lost Maxy and Ball... Or was only one of those guys in the group??

Congratulations, that's fantastic reward for effort.

I had a recent thread on who we all thought would be the likely additions, and I don't recall anyone saying Gilbert. It's a surprise, but on reflection, a worthy candidate for sure.

I think it's great, I certainly see him as a member of the next "core group" and this experience will be invaluable.

Also a very strong message, hands off GC 8-)

Looks like we've definitely focused on picking leaders lately. Along with Gilbert, I hear Lynch and McEvoy are quality leaders as well.

Not to mention Roo, Lenny (who would be captain anywhere else except maybe Sydney) and Goddard...fair decent leadership there.

I also imagine Baker would be a very strong leader. And all 4 of them, lead with actions...not words.

Has been a leader of the defence all year. Just reward.
