Hi everyone,

It’s a great feeling to be back in the red, white and black and a great time as well.

This is a young, exciting group to be involved with and I am looking forward to the chance to work closely with Alan Richardson and the St Kilda coaches while helping out our young, tall backmen.

As a keen football observer and with the Saints close to my heart, I have watched the team closely for a number of years and believe there are some quality players, particularly in the backline who will be an integral part of the club’s future success.

Josh Bruce showed plenty of promise in his first year since coming to the Saints, as did Luke Delaney who finished fifth in the club’s best and fairest.

Then there are Sam Gilbert and Sam Fisher who I’m sure are set for a big year after a tough run with injury, as well as Sean Dempster who has established himself as one of the best mid-sized backmen in the AFL.

There is plenty to work with and apart from coming back to my true football home, the main appeal of taking on this role is being a part of something that is growing and building.

I have enormous faith in the direction this club is taking with people like Alan, President Peter Summers and CEO Matt Finnis at the helm and hopefully I can play some small part in helping towards the club’s growth.

Above all, there is a real sense of coming home in accepting this position and I’d love for you to join me in committing to the Saints once again.

There are a range of different membership packages available this year, with some exciting new initiatives on offer.

Go Saints.
