That's common place around the world to still support your team while playing for another. It's just that here we get our knickers in a twist when it happens.
In interviews about his book, Minack revealed he was a teacher, his father fought in WWII for the Germans and that he is fanatical about the Richmond AFL football club, which explains his compound stage moniker.
So the lead singer was not a Saints fan, not that it really matters.
Also, not saying Wiki is always 100% accurate but just a little food for thought.
Minack (aka Ron Hitler-Barassi) was a Tigers fan, but the rest of TISM (at the time) were all rabid Sainters...

They performed at the Save Our Saints Benefit Concert at the Palace on Wednesday 6 September 1995, along with Weddings Parties Anything, Cosmic Psychos, The Fauvres, Chris Wilson, Even and Rebeccas Empire.
A great night out for a great cause.
If you like TISM, they have now morphed into Root.
Still have my black T-Shirt bought on the night plus a white "SOS" windcheater.
(also have virtually everything ever done by TISM, incl DVDs, and first Root! CD)

yeah, humphrey b flaubert actually wrote the "father and son" song (damian cowell) and he's a huge sainter, had a chat to him about it at the start of last year.
i've got a copy of minack's book somewhere, not a bad read.
Now we all know where Alves got his stupid formation haka thing - ripped off TISM.
Funny seeing a young Peckett and Wakelin and bad memories of blocking my nose to down tooheys for sos. Just as well we'd got rid of Phillip Morris at that stage.
The tall one used to be my English teacher at Coomoora High School. He is not a St. Kilda supporter he is a Richmond supporter. His name is Peter Minack.
An absolute crack up. One of the best teachers I ever had.
