Harves & Dal were both Essendon I'm pretty sure - Harves was a Tim Watson worshipper.

I think Goose was a Cats man...

The Clarke brothers were both St. Kilda fans I believe...As was Leigh Fisher...

Roo, kosi, milney and bally were all hawks fans.
Blakey, harves, x (i think), dal, maxy were all bombers.

Grammy,fergo and birrsy were all sainters. (Frankie was one as well - major barks fan

)

this is all from the feb 04 version of 'The Saint'.

Yes, he was originally going to be drafted to carlton as the number one pick but because of their salary cap breech they lost that pick.

According to a few people i know he did work at the club (carlton) beforehand.

Nathan Burke was a very keen Richmond fan...til he played his first game for us (and his last ironically enough) against them lol

Is that right ?
Maybe I'm confused but isn't he somehow related to a former club great ? I'm thinking Colin Watson ?
Or did I dream it ?

Its funny that

I know if either of my boys end up playing senior football, I would be 100% behind them

what parent wouldn't be?

must be hard for BJ's mum and his mums sister as life long fans, but blood comes first always.

IMO first time you see an opposition player even if its childhood club, clean up your son, you alliegience would go with your family.

thats why Im trying to direct them to cricket

I think BJ's mum is now a fully fledged sainter!! She turned - obviously for the better!!

Thanks ILNR.
Was Colin his grandfather ?

But I would have thought with a Brownlow medallist in the family, Goose would have been a dinky Sainter.

I think it's Goose's grandfather as he won it i think in 1925. Although i may have to pull out the book to clarify it.
