And if he blows this opportunity with the Aints it will be yet another shame of a premiership player that slowly withered off the vine (Stringer, Biggs, Dahl’s motovation levels, plus Picko, Hunter over time, Clay and Boyd’s injuries, Dunkley wanting out every three seconds and Zaine from the drunken fighting (and lying about it.) with Boyd and the Mad Monday pics show a bloke that might want to re-think his priorities.

Maybe he’s happy to have three more years salary like Stringer is after the contract ink is dry. I hope he turns it around, but as mentioned, usually these players go to a new club with a fire burning and point to prove. If all else fails, Phillipou can show him what professional looks like and raise Zaine to his level.

    Go Aints!
    I remember that clearly BT.

      Lets face it Zaine had one good game (Prelim against GWS) and one great tackle and goal the week after.

      That's enough to say to me that he was worth it.
      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

            Cordy was a solid selection and I thought he was quite an effective footballer for a period of time. He fell away in the last year or two and who knows if it was more injuries or attitude that really halted his progress.

                  Reigning VAFA champs St Kevin’s sign fresh ex-AFL player Mitch Wallis and brother Josh

                  VAFA reigning premiers St Kevin’s are set for another successful season after signing former AFL player Mitch Wallis and his talented younger brother Josh.

                  Mitch, 30, will join SKOB after he was delisted from the Western Bulldogs last year where he played 160 games from 2011 to 2022 and was a fan favourite.

                  His younger brother Josh, a 26-year-old midfielder and VAFA MVP coaches award winner in 2021, will rejoin the club after a season with Noosa Tigers last year.

                  SKOB coach Anthony Lynch said he was stoked to have Mitch joining his brother Josh at the club.

                  “It’s a great acquisition,” Lynch said.

                  “Obviously Mitch is fairly well known to the group because he went through the school with some of the players in our team and he has watched his brother play for the club over the last few years.

                  “Getting him over the line was great, he will be fantastic for our young group.”

                  Lynch said the recruit of Wallis came about after he sent him a message of support after he was delisted by the Bulldogs.

                  “It was pretty informal to be honest,” he said.

                  “I have had a relationship with Mitch for probably a decade really, I was following his AFL career, I’m pretty close with the family so I have always had a relationship.

                  “When he was delisted by the Bulldogs there was a bit of contact there.

                  “It was mainly about supporting him out of the AFL and checking in with him and it was only in recent weeks he reached out and said he was keen to play footy at St Kevin’s with his mates and with his brother.

                  “So it was a pretty easy one to be honest, we’re fortunate there wasn’t too much work involved but we are very happy to have him on board.”

                  Lynch said the fact that Mitch’s brother Josh was playing for the club made it a big attraction for the former Bulldog to come on board.

                  “There is not doubt,” he said.

                  “Josh was our best and fairest winner a couple of years ago and then he moved up to Noosa for a year with his partner and they have obviously come back to Melbourne this year so the brothers are very keen to play together.

                  “It will be pretty special to watch.”

                  Josh is expected to play in the midfield while Mitch’s role could entail positions outside of the forward line.

                            Zaine was utterly blessed to be at a club with paper thin key defensive cover for the entirety of his career. If he was at just about any other club, he wouldn’t have lasted nearly as long. The fact that St Kilda coughed up a 3 year deal is absolute comedy.
                            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                              FIERY FRIDAYAs competitive beasts, Jake Stringer and Mason Redman only know one way.


                              There is not often much slack given to teammates during training and tensions boiled over between the pair during some partial match simulation on Friday.

                              The two had to be separated by teammates after getting in a little bit of push and shove following a contest.


                              A few choice words were exchanged before the pair split and moved on.
