Jack Steven is a lovely young man
Hi all, just wanted to share with you how blessed we are to have Jack Steven playing for our mighty St Kilda Saints.
My friend Lisa and I have sponsored Jack this year and we play footy for the Sunbury Lion's Womens Football Club. At the Hall of Fame we approached him to see if he would be able to attend a training session.
Tonight Jack came to training, taking him about an hour and a half from Brighton to Sunbury in peak hour traffic. He wasn't too fussed by that.
He greeted everyone with a smile and spoke very well. He took us through some drills that the guys do a training which I absolutely loved.
He then hung around after for some pizza and was very happy to pose for photos and sign autographs. All the girls had a ball and really enjoyed the training session. I just wanted to share this with you to brighten up what has been a dark week.
I look toward the future with hope, that we have such an outstanding young man playing at our football club.

Yes Jack is back. Well done there StGoddard18. If you don't ask you don't get.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Jack Steven is a lovely young man
I see him out and about in St Kilda and he seems to genuinely enjoy stopping and chatting when recognised. Better than a lot of players who fresh air people with resentful looks when stopped.

Excellent.

Lovely story, thanks for posting.
I heard Brian Taylor once mention he was from Lorne.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
