I thought it was amusing saintlysaint.


Great to hear that Gwilt is back! Watters mentioned he has been in full training for a while.

Look forward to seeing that awesome kick of his back in the seniors.

ST KILDA defender James Gwilt will make his return from a knee reconstruction in the VFL on Sunday.

A St Kilda official confirmed on Wednesday that Gwilt will play for VFL team Sandringham against Williamstown at Trevor Barker Oval.

Gwilt has not played at any level since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in last year's round 17 win over West Coast at Eithad Stadium.

He underwent a full reconstruction but will make his return after a nine month absence.

So only misses less than 10 games of football which is not too bad in the end....

Who knew that a few short years ago we would all be saying that thank christ Gwilt is coming back?

The Saints coach said the playing group was looking forward to the return of popular defender James Gwilt, with the 25-year-old set to line up for Sandringham in the VFL this weekend.

Gwilt will play for the Zebras against Williamstown on Sunday in his first hit-out since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament and undergoing a knee construction last July.

"He's loved by the whole group and he's a key player within our structure," Watters said.

"Going forward, whether it's two, three or four weeks, to get someone of his quality back will be a real boost for the side."
a player favourite but also a big fan favourite as well. love jimmy.

"He's loved by the whole group and he's a key player within our structure," Watters said - seconded!
Matrix probably summed up best my own reaction to the good news but i was very pleased to hear Scotty W's reflection on Jimmy's inspirational presence in the team. I've really missed 'cool-hand' Jim and now realise we just don't look as imposing down back without him.
Go Patiently and Carefully on the way back Gwilty - we want to to reclaim your spot and stay fit.
When you consider how Jimmy G. can hold the fort and therefore allow Bj & Chips to venture forward as playmakers it gives me added confidence in the direction the team and coaching staff are going.

GOOD LUCK GWILTY!
GO SAINTS!


The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.

No one asked me if I took offence.

I didn't.

FYI I smiled. No audible laugh tho.

Great news! The stars are aligning. Gwilt's return to the seniors will provide a massive boost to our depth and structure. Once the Schneiderman returns, we'll be at full strength.
