As for sites that have stats prior to 1993 - a little difficult to find, but try this one: http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/St_Kilda_part_1.htm

It has some extensive history of the saints with lots of detailed info and pics - worth a look!!

What year did john beveridge debut for collingwood - my dad told me he played for collingwood and i think its the same one

HarveysDeciple · Thu 30 Sep 2004 10:42pm

1969??

St Fid Jnr · Post: # 54245Post **St Fid Jnr** » Thu 30 Sep 2004 10:46pm

Way off.... my dad is nearly 60 and coached him as a junior

St Fid Jnr · Post: # 54246Post **St Fid Jnr** » Thu 30 Sep 2004 10:48pm

ooop my dad saw the post and he said he is nearly 50

HarveysDeciple · Thu 30 Sep 2004 10:51pm

Im sure he is wrapped to have his young age out there for us all to see

I was trying to judge John Beveridge on the age of his son.

HarveysDeciple · Thu 30 Sep 2004 10:52pm

My more educated guess suggests around about 1957!

HarveysDeciple · Thu 30 Sep 2004 10:53pm

Hang on. Judging by your old mans age, that couldn't possibly add up.

My bad!

saintbart · Post: # 54253Post **saintbart** » Thu 30 Sep 2004 10:56pm

How about this - if it's the same John Beveridge.

1926

I got this from: http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/b.htm#Jo ... t%20Perth)

Probably not the same guy...and would make St Fid very, very old......

Actually...just found out that this guy...known as 'Jack' was actually John's father

Yeah thank Paul... and i feel it...

when he coached me he seemed a bit older than our dad ... but I doubt he was 10 years older, though dad looks young for his age....

JB coached me in the under 13s and 15s and i was not good enough for his top side in under17s and I went to play a sunday comp with the parish priest as coach in the Under 17s (Fr Dillon) - who is well known in Girlong

it just might be the same person, because he always told me he played for the pies....

More info on Beveridge...taken from an article in the Herald Sun

St Kilda recruiting manager John Beveridge would dearly love to see the Saints team he has helped put together halt the Lions in their tracks on September 25. There would be a symmetry about that, given his father, Jack, was a star centreman in all four Collingwood flags from 1927-30.
"I certainly would prefer the record stays with Collingwood," Beveridge said. "They were a great team. My father counted his blessings that he happened to be born in Abbotsford and happened to be a reasonable player in an era when they had so many great players."

If it is hard to compare teams of different decades, then it is impossible to compare teams from different centuries.

There are no survivors from the "Machine Team" and few people who can remember seeing it play. Only its imposing team and individual records stand as judgment.

Twelve Magpies played in all four flags â€“ Syd and Gordon Coventry, Harry and Albert Collier, Frank Murphy, Harold Rumney, Jack Beveridge, Charlie Dibbs, Bill Libbis, George Clayden, Harold Chesswas and Bob Makeham. Brisbane has 15 players seeking a fourth consecutive flag this year.

Still looking for details on John though....

St Fidelius · Thu 30 Sep 2004 11:17pm

and if i am 49 in jan ... JB would have to be at least 25 or more years older than me ...when he coached me???

St Fidelius · Fri 01 Oct 2004 12:07am

I speak on behalf of my son and concede that saintbart is the winner

posted the right person even if it's not the same JB..

HarveysDeciple · Fri 01 Oct 2004 1:15pm

Just thought I'd keep this thing going.
Sorry to drift off the Sainters briefly with the next question.

What was unique about the 1 VFL/AFL Game that Richmond's Bill James played in his career?

Off the top of my head... it was a Grand Final?

HarveysDeciple · Fri 01 Oct 2004 1:21pm

yes it was. And they won the flag.
So Harves plays 300 without a flag, and this goon plays one game and gets one.

Your turn?

St Fidelius · Post: # 54343Post **St Fidelius** » Fri 01 Oct 2004 1:23pm

On 2 October 1920 Richmond defeated Collingwood in the Grand Final. Bill James of Richmond played in a premiership team in his only League match. This was a unique case.

HarveysDeciple · Fri 01 Oct 2004 1:30pm

thats true. One of you guys are next.

In round one of the 1963 season, four St. Kilda players who went on to have significant careers made their debuts. Who were they???

In the First Semi Final 1970, who did St Kilda play and was significant about that match?

I know we played South Melbourne, but I have no idea what was significant about the match. Was it because we won?!

HarveysDeciple · Fri 01 Oct 2004 1:42pm

First question. I know Ditterich was won. the others I imagine would have been Stewart, Smith and ???

Second Question. We played South Melbourne in that semi final of 1970. and it was Bob Skilton's first and only finals match in what was his last game of football.
