Both are playing for Sandy next season.

Invaluable support for the developing kids they'll provide.

Really good news and something we as Sainters should respect.

Much better for us than them chasing coin in country and suburban leagues like a lot of players do.

Hope it goes well for Clint and Dennis.
Good to see a connection with the club continuing beyond their senior playing days.

Especially CJ he was a very important player for one of our greatest eras. I'm glad we have him around the kids, he works his arse off in anything he does.

Agreed.

CJ's burning desire to make the most of his career dwarfed any perceived shortcomings in his game.

Makes you feel terrific that delisted players still want to help the club.

Wow -- I'm really impressed that both of them wanted to stick around -- after having been dumped.
Clint Jones has only ever shown courage and loyalty and determination.
TDL I was very impressed with in an interview at Sandy I saw on telly -- seemed a very nice guy, modest and wry.
Very good for club spirit and stability

CJ could be the new Phil Stevens - captain of the reserves side after our great era of the early 70s - who helped guys like Sarau, Colling, Barks, Duperouzel, Cunningham, Burns and Bennett to develop. Good luck to him; great clubman.

I am the same.

TDL was awful and CJ (especially in his latter years) was not much better.

My reasons aren't that at all. If it lenny I wouldn't care either. Sandy IMO aren't the saints. They aren't a real side. They are a combination who are run by Sandy. I follow the saints and the saints players at Sandy. Not guys that were even Saints players.

Yes and no.

Yes they aren't the Saints but their coach is on our payroll and we try and influence them as much as we can, as we should.

So given that, you should care to a degree if that makes sense.

Yep I care that Saints players aren't injured. I don't give a clacker whether they win or lose.

This is the argument in a nutshell for why we should have our own St Kilda Reserves side. And while they are at it, they should get rid of the TAC Cup and re-introduce the Under 19s with the Reserves and the Under 19s all playing on match day as entertainment for all of the loyal supporters who pay good money to go to footy games and support their clubs.

We certainly should have our own reserves but forget the under 19 stuff. TAC is perfect. Not sure we could play reserves games before the main games to often especially in the middle on winter. It would wreck the grounds if it rained.

Are all games played at Etihad? Now that's new. Also how do the guys get time off work to play at 4 before night games. It can be done occasionally but no way will it happen regularly.

I couldn't care less what happens before non Saints games. It doesn't have to be a whole league thing. The Cats have done it in the past.
