Full pre game ceremony

[Sainternist]

That " reimaging" of the club song at the end was f****** awful

I agree. It was kind of embarrassing. Who were the artists selected to perform that? To think the club had the likes of Tex Perkins, Paul Dempsey and even Billy Bragg to contribute a rendition and that was the best they could do

I was thinking that’s Verdun on our left but I could be completely wrong.

I think that’s Alan Morrow looking a little stooped to Breen’s right.

If you mean in the wheelchair thats not Verdun Howell

You are right on both accounts. Who is standing between Murray and Smith?

Bob Murray, Ian Stewart???, Ross Smith

On the extreme left. Not in the wheelchair. But I don’t know for sure

We should be able to narrow it down. Unfortunately there’s not that many left.

Ian Stewart

[King Max]

I’ve been told it’s John Bingley in the wheelchair.

[Sebastian Tombs]

I’ve been told it’s John Bingley in the wheelchair.

I thought he had passed , but good too see him with his mates(see Max I do say positive things sometimes ) I think sadly he has cancer in his spine that would explain the wheelchair

[Sanctorum]

Oh man, that pre-match entertainment was fantastic, really good introduction, paying respects to past players, heroes and ordinary, the diehard supporters who are the heartbeat of St Kilda FC, and then the build up to Dan Sultan and Alex lahey performing 'Owen', followed by a whole lot more musicians and vocalists belting out our wonderful theme song in the home of football.

I sat there in front of our big screen TV with my family and bawled my eyes out.....not a dry eye in the house.....the experience of a lifetime for the younger ones which they will long remember.

There's not another team that owns such an evocative song that can be rendered as blues, jazz, dixie, big band, classical, whatever! It is played all over the world, I quite like the following version by a Swedish jazz musician Grunhild Carling:



And to top off the night with such a stirring win over the Bombers, I couldn't have asked for more!!

Wow what a picture, They say ever picture tells a story. This one tells heaps,

Despite all of the heartache, disappointment, missed opportunities and everything I've said in the past and will say in the future, good and bad, I love this footy club and I will love it until the day I die.
