Podcasts about St Kilda Football Club

The Saints' third longest-serving coach Alan Richardson joined the panel to discuss "really talented" Jack Sinclair's upcoming 200th, and St Kilda Football Club superstar Nick Riewoldt's induction into the AFL Hall of Fame.

Jeffrey Gibb Kennett AC (born 2 March 1948) is an Australian former politician who served as the 43rd Premier of Victoria between 1992 and 1999, Leader of the Victorian Liberal Party from 1982 to 1989 and from 1991 to 1999, and the Member for Burwood from 1976 to 1999. He is currently a media commentator. He was previously the president of the Hawthorn Football Club, from 2005 to 2011 and again from 2017 to 2022. He is the founding Chairman of beyondblue, a national mental health advocacy organisation. Early life The son of Kenneth Munro Gibb Kennett (1921–2007), and Wendy Anne Kennett (1925–2006; née Fanning), he was born in Melbourne on 2 March 1948. He attended Scotch College; and, although an unexceptional student academically, he did well in the school's Cadet Corps Unit. He also played football (on the wing) for the school.  His failure to rise above the middle band academically almost led him to quit school in Fourth Form (Year 10 – 1963), but he was persuaded to stay on. His Fifth and Sixth Forms were an improvement, but he was still described in school reports as "[a] confident and at times helpful boy. Sometimes irritates. Sometimes works hard" (1964), and "[a] keen, pleasant, though sometimes erratic boy" (1965). After leaving school, Kennett was persuaded by his father Ken to attend the Australian National University in Canberra, but lost interest and left after one year of an economics degree. He returned to Melbourne and found work in the advertising department of the retail giant Myer – kindling an interest for advertising that would one day earn him his living. Kennett's life in the regular workforce was cut short when, in 1968, he was conscripted into the Australian Army.[9] Kennett was selected for officer training and graduated third in his class from the Officer Training Unit, Scheyville (OTU), near Windsor, New South Wales, outside Sydney. He was posted to Malaysia and Singapore as Second Lieutenant, commander of 1st Platoon, A Company, 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR). This military career (and his earlier experience in the Scotch College Cadet Corps) has been noted by many biographers as an essential formative influence on the adult Kennett's character. His sense and regard for hierarchical loyalty, punctuality, and general intolerance of dissent or disobedience may be traced to this period. Kennett returned to civilian life in 1970, reentering a divided Australian society, split by the Vietnam War, of which Kennett was a firm supporter. Having returned to Myer, Kennett became impatient with his work, and so with Ian Fegan and Eran Nicols, he formed his own advertising company (KNF) in June 1971. Thereafter, in December 1972, Kennett married Felicity Kellar, an old friend whom he had first met on a Number 69 tram on the long trips to school. Their first son was born in 1974, followed by a daughter and two more sons. Political career Kennett was elected as a Liberal Member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Burwood in 1976, having had an interest in local politics since the early 1970s.[14] His preselection for the seat reportedly irritated then Premier Dick Hamer, who disliked Kennett's campaigning style, and had endorsed the sitting member, Haddon Storey. However, by 1981, Kennett was promoted to Cabinet as Minister for Housing and Minister of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs. He was one of several younger MPs whom Hamer promoted to Cabinet in a bid to renew his government. Kennett retained his post when Hamer was replaced as Liberal leader and Premier by Lindsay Thompson in June of that year. Following the defeat of the longstanding Liberal government in 1982, Kennett was the leading candidate to replace Thompson despite being the youngest member of the outgoing government. On 26 October, he was elected leader of the Liberal Party and hence Leader of the Opposition. He took an aggressive posture against the Cain government, and was often criticised for his "bull-in-a-china-shop" style and his anti-government rhetoric. Under his leadership, the Liberals were heavily defeated by Labor in 1985. Afterwards he faced a challenge to his leadership of the party from Ian Smith. Kennett survived easily, but increasingly, he was seen as an erratic and unapproachable leader. He faced two more challenges to his leadership in 1986 and 1987. In 1987, in one notable incident Kennett referred to the Federal Liberal leader John Howard as a 'cunt' in a mobile telephone conversation with Howard rival Andrew Peacock. The car-phone conversation damaged both Howard and Kennett politically, but aided Peacock in his push to return as Federal Liberal leader (1989). Toward the end of its second term the Cain government had lost support and the Liberals were expected to win the 1988 election. The Liberal vote indeed rebounded strongly – they won a majority of the two-party vote – however much of this margin was wasted on landslide majorities in their heartland. As a result, the Liberals took only one seat from Labor in the capital, and were left four seats short of a majority. Failing to become premier, Kennett was again criticised within his own party, and in 1989 he was deposed in favour of a little-known rural MLA, Alan Brown. Kennett's performance during his first stint as Liberal leader is a matter of debate. Economou sees his 1985 and 1988 election campaigns as weak, while Parkinson believes he was a significant asset in pushing the Labor government of John Cain in several key seats. First term as premier Kennett publicly pledged never to attempt a return to the Liberal leadership. However, when Brown proved unable to challenge the government effectively, he allowed his supporters to call a spill in 1991. Brown realised he didn't have enough support to keep his post and resigned, allowing Kennett to retake the leadership unopposed. With Victoria facing billions of dollars of debt, Kennett was seen as "Premier-in-waiting" from the moment he retook the leadership. Cain had resigned a year earlier in favour of Deputy Premier Joan Kirner, who was unable to regain the upper hand despite being personally more popular than Kennett. The Liberals' advantage was strengthened by an important decision taken during Brown's brief tenure as leader—negotiating a Coalition agreement with the National Party. The Liberals and Nationals have historically had a strained relationship in Victoria; they had sat separately for most of the second half of the 20th century. It had been believed that Kennett had been denied victory in 1988 due to a large number of three-cornered contests in rural seats. The Coalition went into the October 1992 state election as unbackable favourites, having been ahead in opinion polling by large margins for almost two years. They stoked the voters' anger with a series of "Guilty Party" ads, targeting many Labor ministers and highlighting concerns in their portfolios. In the second-largest defeat that a sitting government has ever suffered in Victoria, the Coalition scored a 19-seat swing, attaining a 16-seat majority in the Legislative Assembly. The Liberals won 52 seats, enough for a majority in their own right. Nevertheless, Kennett supported his coalition partner, retaining the Nationals in his cabinet. State school closures In the first three years of office, funding for public schools and the Department of Education was substantially reduced. 350 government schools were closed, including every Technical High School ("Tech") in Victoria, and 7,000 teaching jobs eliminated. The Tech School closures had a widespread, delayed effect two decades later when a skilled labour shortage in the state was declared by the government, attributable largely to the generation of children who were denied a trade-focused high school education, significantly reducing the number of school leavers commencing trade apprenticeships. The few who did so were insufficient to counterbalance the number of retiring tradespeople in the coming years. This directly resulted in the number of Skilled Migrant (subclass 190) visas being made available each year increasing to 190,000 from 2012 and an active campaign to entice migrants with trade qualifications to Victoria. Public transport Other controversial moves included the sacking of 16,000 public transport workers in a major technological upgrade of the system, and the initiation of a major scheme for privatisation of state-owned services, including the electricity (SECV) and gas (Gas and Fuel Corporation of Victoria) utilities, the ambulance service, as well as several prisons and other minor services. The sale of the Totalisator Agency Board raised $609 million. Between 1995 and 1998, $29 billion of state assets in gas and electricity alone were sold to private enterprise (for statistics, see Parkinson, Jeff, 1999) In the wake of these changes, investment and population growth slowly resumed, though unemployment was to remain above the national average for the duration of Kennett's premiership. While the benefits to the State budget figures were indisputable in the short term, the social and longer-term economic cost of the Kennett reforms have been questioned by many commentators, academics and those who suffered economically through the period of reform. This campaign of privatisations and cutbacks led to governmental acts of privatisation by splitting up Melbourne's rail (Hillside, Bayside, V/Line and West Coast Rail) and tramways (Yarra and Swanston) or budget-cutting becoming popularly known as being "Jeffed". He also cut back many regional rail services including The Vinelander (ran to Mildura, services later restored to Maryborough as a regular V/Line service in 2011) and services to Leongatha, Bairnsdale (returned in 2003), Dimboola (services later returned to Ararat in 2004). The largest public protest in Melbourne since the Vietnam War Moratorium occurred on 10 November 1992, with an estimated 100,000 people marching in opposition to the retrenchment of many workers and the large State budget cutbacks. Kennett was undeterred by this protest, and famously commented that though there were 100,000 outside his office at Parliament that day, there were 4.5 million who stayed at home or at work. High-profile capital works projects This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2025) (Learn how and when to remove this message) The Kennett government also embarked on a series of high-profile capital works projects, such as the restoration of Parliament House, construction of a new $250 million Melbourne Museum and IMAX theatre, and a new $130 million Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Other projects included a $160 million expansion of the National Gallery of Victoria; $100 million for refurbishment of the State Library of Victoria; $65 million for a new Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC); and $130 million for the construction of a new civic square on the site of the old Gas and Fuel Buildings, to be known as Federation Square. The relocation of the Formula 1 Grand Prix from Adelaide in 1993 was a particular coup for Kennett, who had worked hard with his friend Ron Walker, the Chairman of the Melbourne Major Events Company, helped deliver Melbourne the hosting rights for the event from Adelaide in 1993. The most controversial project of the Kennett era was the $1.85 billion Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex, a gambling and entertainment centre on Melbourne's Southbank. Initial plans for a casino had been made under the Labor government, however the tendering process and construction occurred under Kennett. A$2 billion project to redevelop Melbourne's derelict Docklands area to include a new football stadium was also undertaken, in addition to the large CityLink project, a project resurrected from the 1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan, aimed at linking Melbourne's freeways, easing traffic problems in the inner city, and reducing commuting times from the outer suburbs to the CBD. Macedonian name dispute Kennett speaking at a event In the mid-1990s, Premier Kennett backed the Greek position over the Macedonian question in his attempts to shore up local electoral support. Kennett's stance gained him supporters from the Melburnian Greek community, whereas he was referred to as "Kennettopoulos" by the Macedonian community. At Kennett's insistence, his state government in 1994 issued its own directive that all its departments refer to the language as "Macedonian (Slavonic)" and to Macedonians as "Slav Macedonians". Reasons given for the decision were "to avoid confusion", be consistent with federal naming protocols toward Macedonians and repair relations between Macedonian and Greek communities. It was accepted that it would not impact the way Macedonians self identified themselves. The decision upset Macedonians, as they had to use the terms in deliberations with the government or its institutions related to education and public broadcasting. The Macedonian Community challenged the decision on the basis of the Race Discrimination Act. After years of litigation at the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC), the Federal Court and High Court, previous judicial rulings were upheld that found Kennett's directive unlawful as it caused discrimination based on ethnic background and was struck down from usage in 2000. Second term as premier Kennett's personal popularity was mostly average to high through his first term, though that of the government as a whole went through peaks and troughs. Without a by-election in the previous four years, the 1996 state election shaped up as the first test of the 'Kennett Revolution' with the electorate. The Coalition was expected to win a second term at the 30 March election, albeit with a somewhat reduced majority. At the federal election held four weeks earlier, while Labor was heavily defeated, it actually picked up a swing in Victoria. However, to the surprise of most commentators, the Coalition only suffered a two-seat swing, allowing it to retain a comfortable 14-seat majority. The Coalition actually picked up modest swings in Melbourne's outer suburbs, which have traditionally decided most state elections. Several negative trends (for the Liberals) were obscured somewhat by the euphoria of victory. The government's sharp cuts to government services were particularly resented in country Victoria, where the Liberals and Nationals held almost all the seats. The loss of the Mildura seat to independent Russell Savage was an indication of this disaffection, and when in February 1997 independent Susan Davies was elected to the seat of Gippsland West, this trend seemed set to continue. However, the verdict of many was that the 'Kennett Revolution' was far from over – indeed it was seemingly set in stone with the opening of the Crown Casino in May 1997. Kennett's profile continued to grow as he became a major commentator on national issues, including urging the new government of John Howard to introduce tax reform, and actively opposing the rise of the One Nation Party of Pauline Hanson. In this last case, Kennett did not shy away from criticising the media, but also the decision of the Howard government to not actively oppose Hanson's agenda. Kennett was influential in Melbourne bidding for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Three cities initially expressed interest in hosting the event; Melbourne, Wellington and Singapore. Singapore dropped out before its bid was officially selected by the Commonwealth Games Federation, leaving only two candidate cities. In the weeks prior to the announcement of the 2006 host, Wellington withdrew its bid, citing the costs involved with matching the bid plan presented by Melbourne, which became the default host without members of the Federation going to vote. The government lost ground over the next few years, with high-profile disagreements with the Director of Public Prosecutions Bernard Bongiorno, and Auditor-General Ches Baragwanath fuelling criticism of Kennett's governmental style. Kennett's perceived antipathy to Baragwanath led to 1997 legislation to restructure the office of the Auditor-General and set up Audit Victoria. While Kennett promised the independence of the office would be maintained, many saw his government's actions as an attempt to curb the Auditor-General's power to criticise government policy. Widespread community debate and substantial public dissent from Liberal MPs and Party members ensued, with MLA Roger Pescott resigning from Parliament at the height of the debate; citing his disagreement with this Bill and Kennett's style in general. The Liberal Party lost the by-election in Mitcham. Further scandals involving the handling of contracts for the state emergency services response system damaged the credibility of Kennett in 1997–1998, while rural dissent continued to grow. Personal difficulties also began to affect Kennett and his family. The strains of public life led to a trial separation between Felicity and Jeff in early 1998 (patched up by the end of the year), while earlier in Kennett's first term, public scrutiny had led to the forced sale of the KNF Advertising Company, despite all Kennett's involvement having been transferred to his wife's name. There were rumours in 1998 that Kennett might retire from politics; these were mostly centred around Phil Gude, his party deputy. These eventually came to nothing. In July 1998, Liberal MP Peter McLellan, Member for Frankston East, resigned from the party in protest over alleged corrupt Liberal Party Senate preselection, changes to WorkCover and the auditor-general's office. Again, Kennett failed to pick up the warning signs of declining support for his style of leadership. Labor leader John Brumby took care to capitalise on each of Kennett's mistakes over this period, though his absences in rural electorates were misunderstood by many Labor MPs, and led to his replacement by Steve Bracks in early 1999. Bracks, who came from Ballarat, was popular in rural areas and was seen as a fresh alternative to Brumby, who nevertheless remained a key figure in the shadow Cabinet. 1999 election loss Despite Bracks' appeal, Kennett entered the 1999 election campaign with a seemingly unassailable lead, and most commentators and opinion polls agreed that the Coalition would win a third term. However, in a shock result, the Coalition suffered a 13-seat swing to Labor. While there was only a modest swing in eastern Melbourne, which has historically decided elections in Victoria, the Coalition suffered significant losses in regional centres such as Ballarat and Bendigo. ABC elections analyst Antony Green later said that when he first saw the results coming in, it looked so unusual that he thought "something was wrong with the computer." Initial counting showed Labor on 41 seats and the Coalition on 43; a supplementary election had to be held in Frankston East following the death of sitting independent Peter McLellan. The balance of power rested with three independents-Russell Savage, Susan Davies and newly elected Craig Ingram. Negotiations began between the Coalition and the three independents. While Kennett acceded to all but two of their demands, his perceived poor treatment of Savage and Davies in the previous parliament meant that they would not even consider supporting a Coalition minority government headed by Kennett. On 18 October, two days after Labor won the supplementary election in Frankston East, the independents announced they would support a Labor minority government. The agreement entailed Labor signing a Charter of Good Government, pledging to restore services to rural areas, and promising parliamentary reforms. Kennett's supporters urged the Coalition to force a vote of 'no confidence' on the floor of the parliament in a last-ditch effort to force Savage, Davies and Ingram to support Kennett. However, with the Liberals divided on Kennett's future role, Kennett retired from all of his offices, saying he wished to have no further involvement in politics. Labor won the ensuing by-election in Burwood. Rumoured returns to politics Following the Liberals' second successive defeat in the 2002 election, rumours began that Kennett was planning a comeback to politics. The issue came to a head in May 2006 after the sudden resignation of Kennett's successor, Robert Doyle, when Kennett announced he would contemplate standing in a by-election for Doyle's old seat of Malvern and offering himself as party leader. His stance was supported by Prime Minister John Howard, who rated him as the party's best hope to win the November 2006 state election. But within 24 hours Kennett announced he would not return to Parliament rather than running against Ted Baillieu, whom Kennett had been grooming for the top post since 1999. John Howard was reported to have been "embarrassed" by having publicly supported Kennett before his decision not to re-enter politics. In 2008, it was rumoured that Kennett was planning to stand for Lord Mayor of Melbourne. Despite endorsing future Lord Mayor John So in the 2001 mayoral elections, Kennett was quoted as saying "I think the city is ready for a change". Kennett claimed he had been approached by "a range of interests" to run for the position, but in the end did not do so. Former Liberal leader Robert Doyle ultimately won the election. 2020: Indigenous voice to government On 15 January 2020, it was announced that Kennett would be one of the members of the National Co-design Group of the Indigenous voice to government. Life after politics Kennett at the 2018 VFL Grand Final In 2000, Kennett became the inaugural chairman of beyondblue (the National Depression Initiative), a body that was largely formed by the efforts of the Victorian State Government. On 24 June 2008, he announced that he would be stepping down from his role at beyondblue at the end of 2010. This did not happen. After 17 years as the chair of beyondblue, he stood down in 2017, handing the reins to former PM Julia Gillard. He stated "beyondblue is part of my DNA, outside my family, it has been my most important role. Kennett has previously served on the boards of Australian Seniors Finance, a reverse mortgage company, and SelecTV, which was a satellite television group. Kennett has said in an interview that he rarely thinks about the media or "bloody history", though he regrets the "disastrous" introduction of the Metcard ticketing system for trains and trams. Kennett angered gay rights groups in July 2008 when he supported the Bonnie Doon Football Club in their sacking of trainer Ken Campagnolo for being bisexual; and compared homosexuality to pedophilia. Anti-discrimination campaigner Gary Burns pursued an action in the NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal against Kennett for making the following statement: "The club felt that once this had been pointed out and you had this gentleman there who was obviously close to young men – massaging young men – it ran an unnecessary risk, and that's why it decided it was best that he not perform those duties again. So the club was trying to do the right thing," The case was dropped due to Gary Burns' lack of funds to pursue the case. Hawthorn FC presidency On 14 December 2005, Kennett was made president of Hawthorn Football Club, taking over from Ian Dicker. Following the exit of the St Kilda Football Club from the Tasmanian AFL market in 2006, Kennett was president when the Hawthorn Football Club negotiated a five-year sponsorship deal with the Tasmanian state government. The sponsorship deal was worth an estimated $12 million for which the Tasmanian government bought naming rights to the club's guernsey, and the HFC committed to playing an agreed number of pre-season and four regular season "home games" at York Park.[56] Kennett was instrumental in Hawthorn's 2007 5-year business plan titled "five2fifty", the core idea being that in the next five years the club will target to win 2 premierships and have fifty thousand members. As part of the plan, the football club wants to be seen as the most professional club in the AFL, and places great emphasis on the welfare of the people associated with the club. Following Hawthorn's 2008 AFL Grand Final victory over Geelong, Kennett claimed that the Cats "lacked the mentality to defeat Hawthorn", this being in reference to the Cats' inability to counter-attack the running game of the Hawks in the aforementioned Grand Final. Kennett's comments led to the subsequent eleven-match losing streak for Hawthorn against Geelong becoming known as the "Kennett curse". He stepped down at the end of his second three-year term in 2011, he also changed the club's constitution so that presidents could only serve two 3-year terms. Second stint Kennett at an AFL Women's match in 2023 In what Fox Footy described as a "stunning return",[59] Kennett was announced as the president of the Hawthorn Football Club on 4 October 2017 following the sudden resignation of the incumbent president Richard Garvey. Garvey had taken criticism on the hiring and later sacking of club CEO Tracey Gaudry. Kennett subsequently appointed Justin Reeves as the club's new CEO. On 4 October 2017 he announced that he would serve the position for a full 3-year term. Soon after his re-appointment, Kennett and the club released a vision statement outlining the future of the club up to 2050. The first five-year strategic plan titled 'Dare to be Different' will drive the club's priorities from 2018 to 2022. Kennett said: "Hawthorn we aren't ones to sit back and wait, we work hard to achieve and deliver exciting results, on and off the field. Our vision for our strategic plan, "Dare to be Different", encapsulates this as we continue to strive for excellence. "We have set ourselves some ambitious targets but all are within our grasp if we continue to innovate, grow and forge new frontiers within the AFL industry." On 6 July 2021, Kennett and the Hawthorn board announced that they would not be renewing head coach Alastair Clarkson's contract following its expiry at the conclusion of the 2022 AFL Premiership season. It was announced that Box Hill Hawks and Hawthorn development coach, former player Sam Mitchell had been chosen by Kennett and the board to become the Hawthorn coach at the end of Clarkson's reign. Chairman of The Original Juice Company On 12 December 2022, The Original Juice Company announced that it would appoint Kennett as Chairman and Non-Executive Director. Honours In the Australia Day Honours of 2005, Kennett received Australia's then highest civilian honour, when he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC). The honour was for "service to the Victorian Parliament and the introduction of initiatives for economic and social benefit, to business and commerce, and to the community in the development of the arts, sport and mental health awareness strategies." In May 2000, he was also awarded an honorary doctorate – DBus (Honoris Causa) – by the University of Ballarat. Media work For a brief period during 2002, Kennett was a radio presenter for Melbourne station 3AK, continuing an interest in mass communication which was also a feature of his premiership. Since 2010, Kennett has been a regular contributor to Neil Mitchell's 3AW radio program every Thursday, as a social commentator. On 28 March 2013 it was announced that Kennett had joined the Seven television network as national political commentator which will involve him appearing on breakfast show Sunrise every Tuesday and on Seven news as required. On 12 February 2017 Jeff Kennett engaged ex-Seven West Media employee on Twitter over leaked documents potentially breaching the company's own gag order on Amber Harrison.

Heath Black played just 54-games with the St Kilda Football Club, but was involved in a period of immense growth, arriving at the club in 2002 after five seasons at Fremantle. Black played a major role in the development of the squad, with an appearance in the 2004 Preliminary Final loss to Port Adelaide - one that he says still stings - before moving back to Fremantle ahead of the 2005 season sue to family reasons.Having worked for the AFL and now in local football since retirement following the 2009 season, Black is now a big advocate for mental health, both in football and in society.

One of the St Kilda Football Club's best recruits in recent years was BRAD CROUCH. Despite suffering from a degenerative knee injury in the later stages of his career - which ultimaely forced his retirement at the end of 2024 - in Brad's 66-games for the Saints he averaged 26.7 disposals, 11.6 contested possessions, 6.1 tackles and 5.4 clearances. He amassed 20 or more disposals in 59 of his St Kilda appearances, and earned 33 Brownlow votes in that period.He discusses his move from the Crows to the Saints and what attracted him to the St Kilda Football Club at the end of the 2020 season, working with - and the differences between - Brett Ratten and Ross Lyon, as well as playing with his brother, Matt, and what transpired with his injury at the end of his career.Please remember to rate and review our show on whatever platform you're most comfortable with (iTunes, Facebook, Spotify etc), and always give us your feedback - good, bad or ugly - and keep sending in your questions or comments on social media!

Some might call it "the greatest upset people have ever seen," but we'll just call it #SaintsFooty. The St Kilda Football Club dominated Geelong in Round 2, playing clean, fast, proactive footy. While the young lads Saints at the end, the Cats could never quite hit parity in their comeback, with the men from Moorabbin deserved victors by 7 points. Next up, a potential banana-peel game against Richmond, in the final-ever Maddie's Match.This week's episode is brought to you by Ticketverse: Get premium seats at Marvel Stadium's Medallion Club for St Kilda games, with exclusive access to fine dining, bars, and more!

rWotD Episode 2793: 1966 St Kilda Football Club season Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 26 December 2024 is 1966 St Kilda Football Club season.The 1966 St Kilda Football Club season is the most successful season in St Kilda Football Club history. It currently stands as the only premiership season for St Kilda since its entry into the VFL. The Saints season in 1966 also saw St Kilda win every home game, including the Grand Final rematch in round 8.Although 1966 was St Kilda's first premiership season, the club had been to the VFL Grand Final in 1913 and more recently, 1965. Leading up to the premiership season, St Kilda had played finals football in both the 1961 and 1963 seasons.That they won the 1966 flag was perhaps more surprising given the success of the season prior, in which the Saints finished minor premiers before winning the Second Semi Final in a thrilling one-point victory over Collingwood, and losing to Essendon in the Grand Final.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:29 UTC on Thursday, 26 December 2024.For the full current version of the article, see 1966 St Kilda Football Club season on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Arthur.

How do we get ourselves to do the things we know to do? How do we make healthful actions a priority? This week's guest tells us the simple process. Better yet, he helps us make it easy too. Tune in to learn how to create new and lasting habits!This week, Jenn is joined by author and speaker Andrew Jobling. The episode kicks off with Andrew talking about his journey restricting food while being a professional athlete, and how it led to a dark place in his health and life. He then shares how to create change through mindset, creating new neural pathways, and anchoring into your ‘why'. He describes what T.E.A.R.S. is, and how the process can create lasting change. They end the episode talking about what elements to focus on each and every day to create a healthful life. Tune in for some great insight and tips! The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [5:08] Jenn shares what members are getting this week![7:13] Andrew shares his story about restricting food, and ending up in a dark place. [12:47] Why did Andrew decide to write his first book?[14:48] How do we create change? [23:30] Andrew shares a practical application of step 1 of creating change. [25:21] Andrew explains part 2 of the change process. [30:30] What does T.E.A.R.S stand for? [33:22] Do you need to focus every day on the elements of being healthy?[42:28] Andrew answers rapid fire, off topic questions. KEY TAKEAWAYS: There is no such thing as a quick fix, you have to do the work. Change is simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy. The first thing you have to do when changing your habits is understand how you want to live, create a vision of life and identify why it's important. You can change your results by changing your mental state. To change, pick one thing that you need to do differently, one thing that'll have the greatest impact on your energy, on your health, on your self esteem. Do it every day consecutively for 63 days to create a neural pathway in your brain to create an unconscious habit. QUOTES: [4:38] “We're told not to eat these foods because they're not good for us, yet the stress that's created by avoiding them can be far more damaging than actually indulging every now and then.” - Andrew Jobling[9:37] “I became very interested in nutrition. I got very interested in learning about how to eat healthy and sustain it, how to eat to lose weight, how to eat not to get a result, not to get into an outfit, not for a quick fix, for an event or a moment of time, but for a lifetime. And it finally dawned on me that indulgence is part of that.” - Andrew Jobling"There's 2 types of change: physical change and chemical change...Physical change is not permanent...Chemical change is something where once it's changed it will never ever ever ever go back...What we're changing in the human experience is not a physical thing; what we're changing is a mindset.” - Andrew Jobling[31:48] “If you can identify the negative thought and replace it with a positive one and reinforce and affirm that thought, then that will change your emotional state, your actions, your routines, and hence the results you start getting in life. Simple, not easy.” - Andrew Jobling[42:01] “Well, let me just give you some perspective. There is no such thing as tomorrow. No one's ever lived in tomorrow because as soon as midnight strikes, guess where we are? We're back in today. There is no such thing as next week, there is no such thing as next year. It's an imaginary concept, no one's ever been there, the only place we ever have is now, is today. So if you don't start today, effectively what you're saying is I'm not starting.” - Andrew JoblingRESOURCES:Wellness Puzzle Podcast, Episode 207Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES:Andrew Jobling's FacebookAndrew Jobling's LinkedInAndrew Jobling's InstagramAndrew Jobling's XAndrew Jobling's YouTubeAndrew Jobling | Empowering you to live a life of joyful longevityBIO:Andrew Jobling played professional Australian Football for seven years at St Kilda Football Club.

Mark Alexander Jackson (born 30 August 1959) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Melbourne Football Club, St Kilda Football Club and Geelong Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and for the South Fremantle Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). Known as "Jacko", Jackson's colourful and enigmatic personality often resulted in clashes with officials and teammates, which tended to overshadow the fact that he was also a capable full forward. Following his football career, Jackson became notable for several television appearances, including commercials for Jenny Craig, Energizer and Nutri-Grain, along with several feature films. Jackson has also written an autobiography, Dumb Like a Fox, which was released in 1986.   Jackson was born at the Royal Woman's Hospital as one of six children to George Jackson and his wife Frances, and grew up in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Nunawading.  Football career South Fremantle & Richmond (1979–1980) After playing colts and reserves football for Richmond in 1977 and 1978, Jackson started his senior career in the West Australian Football League, spending the 1979 season with South Fremantle. Coach Mal Brown employed Jackson as a forward to protect Ray Bauskis, a skillful but lightweight full-forward. Jackson kicked 53 goals in 22 games and Bauskis 66 in 17 games. South Fremantle finished second in 1979. The night before the second semi-final, Jackson returned to Melbourne after being told that the other players had voted him out of the team. He consequently missed out on playing in the 1979 grand final, which saw the then largest crowd in West Australian football history. Jackson rejoined Richmond for the 1980 season. However, with Michael Roach and Brian Taylor at the club, there was no room for another full forward. Jackson spent the entire 1980 season playing in the reserves and kicked 131 goals. Melbourne (1981–1982) Jackson moved to Melbourne for the 1981 season, coached by Ron Barassi. Jackson performed a handstand in front of the Hawks full back, Kelvin Moore, reportedly after Moore had told him he "wouldn't be a full forward while his arse pointed to the floor". Jackson on Open Mike said it was not pointed at Moore, rather it was directed at umpire Glenn James after he disputed a decision. Jackson kicked 76 goals in each of his two years with the Demons, leading the goal kicking in 1981 and one goal less than Gerard Healy in 1982.  St Kilda (1983) In 1983, Jackson joined St Kilda on a three-year contract believed to have been worth $40,000 per year. He played in the first nine matches (in which the Saints lost the first eight matches in a row) and kicked 40 goals, including 10 in Round 5 against Sydney. However, controversy reared its head again when he was relegated to the reserves for "disciplinary reasons" in Round 10, and then returned for the Round 11 game against Collingwood, where he was held to one goal in a high-scoring 16-point loss. Jackson was again dropped to the reserves, and suffered a bruised chest during the Sunday game. On the Tuesday following that game, the Saints had told Jackson his services were no longer required.  It was later revealed that, among other things, he had played a dangerous prank on club legend Trevor Barker by placing a brick behind the brake pedal in his car. He had also placed a lit cigarette butt in the pocket of club chairman Lindsay Fox in the social club. Jackson spent the remainder of the year playing for the Melbourne Harlequins rugby side. However, his 41 goals were still enough to be the Saints' leading goal kicker for the 1983 season. Geelong (1984–1986) 1984 saw Jackson return to the VFL with Geelong. He led their goal kicking in 1984 with 74. In total during his time at Geelong, Jackson scored 115 goals in 31 games. Geelong started 1985 poorly with one win in the first four rounds but improved with five wins in the next six rounds to be in fifth position. But after losing to Fitzroy in Round 11 they would spend the remainder of the season hovering just outside the Top Five, eventually finishing sixth on the ladder. The Round 11 match against Hawthorn at Princess Park was overshadowed by various spiteful incidents, including Leigh Mattews king-hit on Geelong midfielder Neville Bruns behind play, leaving Bruns with a broken jaw. Although this incident was not reported at the time, video footage of the incident resulted in Matthews being charged with assault by Victoria Police and subsequently deregistered by the VFL for four matches. Jackson kicked four goals for the game to be the Cats' main scorer for the day, but was reported four times during the match: by boundary umpire Gower, boundary umpire O'Leary, goal umpire Bill Pryde and field umpire Ian Robinson for allegedly striking Gary Ayres in the final quarter; by goal umpire Pryde for allegedly striking Chris Langford on two separate occasions during the final quarter; by field umpire Robinson for allegedly striking Chris Mew in the final quarter; and by field umpire Robinson for allegedly striking Chris Langford in the final quarter. At the VFL Tribunal hearing on the Monday following the game, Jackson was suspended for a total of eight matches, stemming from outcomes of three of the charges: He pleaded guilty to the charge from four umpires of striking Ayres (two-match suspension). He pleaded not guilty to striking Mew and was severely reprimanded The third charge of striking Langford by goal umpire Pryde was upheld (two-match suspension) He pleaded guilty to the fourth charge of striking Langford (four-match suspension). After kicking six goals in the first round of 1986 and two in the second round, he retired after his omission from the Geelong senior side in the following round. He ended his VFL career with 308 goals from 82 games, leading his club's goalkicking on 3 occasions. He holds the record for the most consecutive games from debut with at least one goal, with 79 games. His first and only goalless game in his career was in his third-to-last game in Round 21, 1985 against Richmond at VFL Park. Jackson gained a controversial reputation for his on-field antics and was regularly reported: twice at Melbourne and four times at Geelong, including an eight-match suspension following a fight against Hawthorn. Later years An autobiography of Jackson's football career was published in 1986 and titled Jacko, Dumb Like a Fox, written with the assistance of Melbourne journalist Jon Anderson. Later in 1986 he played a few games for Brunswick Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) First Division, the first of which against Sandringham drew a crowd of nearly 15,000 to Gillon Oval; he was sacked from Brunswick in July after missing training. Jackson returned to South Fremantle for the 1987 WAFL season and kicked 45 goals from the opening 10 games. This included nine goals against West Perth in round three. South Fremantle won its opening three games of the season, but then went on an 18-match losing streak to win the wooden spoon – the club's first since 1972. Jackson walked out on the club after round 10, where the Bulldogs lost to West Perth by a league-record 210 points. Despite only playing half the season, he still finished as the club's leading goalkicker. Later in 1987, he went to Queensland and played a game for QAFL club Kedron; he was paid a large fee of $2,000 per game, but his presence drew a large crowd which earned more than $12,000 for the club. He had intended to play more games for Kedron, but was suspended for unbecoming conduct after dropping his shorts several times during the match. Singing career Following his retirement from football, Jackson used his fame and popularity to launch a singing career. His first single, "I'm an Individual" was a hit on the Australian singles chart. A second single, "My Brain Hurts" was not so successful. A 1991 release, "You Can Do This", also failed to make an impression. Jackson combined a rap-like delivery with lyrics based on Australian comedy and larrikinism. Acting career After his singing career ended, Jackson began appearing in advertisements, the most successful of which was his role in Energizer battery commercials during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The commercials ended with a manic Jackson yelling "Get Energizer. It'll surprise you! Oi!". These commercials were shown extensively in the United States, even though few people knew of Jackson, during a period of high American interest in things Australian in the wake of the Crocodile Dundee films. This American infatuation with Australian culture is referenced in The Simpsons episode "Bart vs. Australia" (1995), in which Jackson makes a cameo promoting Energizer. He was the brand's last human spokesman before the emergence of the Energizer Bunny.  There was also a 10 in 1 "Oi! Jacko Gym" action figure toy that could talk, do push-ups, lift weights and ride a skateboard—all battery operated, with Jackson wearing the battery company logo on his singlet. He was also linked with Nutri-Grain amongst other companies, and for a time worked as a professional actor for commercials. Jackson has appeared in various television sitcoms and movies—one of the most notable being as survival expert "Jetto" in the short-lived American action-adventure series The Highwayman (1988)—as well as being on talkback radio and in various children's programs and talk shows. During 2005 Jackson embarked on a tour with author and renowned criminal Mark "Chopper" Read.  In 2014, Jackson was featured on 7mate's Bogan Hunters as a celebrity judge. Boxing Jackson also appeared in a televised Australian celebrity boxing match in 2002 in which he went up against Australian former rugby league centre Ma. Meninga. Jackson was soundly defeated. Jackson had previously beaten Essendon tough man Ron Andrews in a points decision on 10 December 1984 in a six-round boxing match at the Perth Entertainment Centre.

We chatted with former St Kilda Football Club president, Andrew Plympton, in June 2022, about some of the key moments of his time at the Saints: Moorabbin to Waverley, Plugger, the 1997 Grand Final, Stan Alves and Tim Watson, and the move to Docklands.Sadly, Andrew passed away on the 24th of March, 2024, so this interview is here to serve as his legacy: a wonderful example of the hard work and passion that so many have for the St Kilda Football Club.Vale, Andrew Plympton.

Welcome to The Coaching Podcast. In today's episode, we have the privilege of hosting David Wheadon, a renowned coach whose insights redefine the essence of coaching. With a career spanning decades, David's wisdom illuminates the intricate fusion of empathy, teaching, and people management that defines effective coaching. From unraveling the art of empathy to navigating the delicate balance between science and art in coaching, David's perspectives offer invaluable lessons for coaches at every level. Here is a summary of the key points; 1.20: Cats or dogs? 1.46: Coaching = People Management + Teaching Teaching is the act of making learning happen If you are going to be a teacher, you have to be a good people manager. At the base of this is EMPATHY - understanding the perspective of the other person. You have to know what motivates someone - what 'bait' do they want? 4.10: How can a coach improve in the art of empathy? Ask questions and listen to the answers (stop talking)! What's behind what they are saying is often the truth. 7.06: What do you mean by the art and science of coaching? "I believe that coaching is an art based on a science." The artist coaches last longer in sports as long as they surround themselves with scientists. 9.46: Skill Acquisition - all open skills require you to teach decision-making first, technique second (but not secondary), because the best players are often the 'smartest' (they are in the right place at the right time). Make sure you expose players to different ways of solving problems. 13.07: The Yips: Any sport/skill where there is time to think about failure is difficult. 15.42: Coaching Philosophy = The beliefs and principles on which your decisions and actions are based! Having a well-developed coaching philosophy (that evolves over time) will help you during times of uncertainty. 16.54: Once you choose a philosophy, have a mentor take the opposite view to challenge you on what you believe to be true. "Players 'feel', coaches 'see'. Therefore, teach your players to teach other players what they know (focus on their strengths - the fastest way to improve their self-esteem). They started coaching during the matches.19.30: What are the benefits of peer coaching? 23.00: Top 3 tips: 1) Learn how to teach (get a qualification if you can). Teach through pearls of wisdom. Players learn through doing. 2) Learn how to teach skills. There are four ways that teaching can occur: 1) Coach to Player 2) Player to Player 3) Player to Coach 4) Player alone 3) Practice your people management - learn how to build relationships with your players. 24.58: The Next Coach Program - There is not one way to coach but think about how you are going to coach. It's based on principles, not methods. 28.25: In the ever-evolving coaching landscape what disruptive idea do you have that will disrupt the way that we coach in 2030? It's evolving to teaching through play! Good training is really ugly! How can we teach better than what we already know? In 2030, we will have really good goal-kicking coaches. 31.20: What makes a great coach? (WMAGC) Empathy Teaching People Management 32.27: A mentor tells you things that you don't want to hear. A mentor is someone you respect. Someone you believe in and who is on your side.

In this deeply moving episode, we delve into the powerful story of Rod and Ash Butterss, father-daughter who encountered the devastating impact of alcohol and drug addiction. This episode isn't just a story; it's a raw and honest exploration of the complexities of being a parent, a child, and, ultimately, a survivor in the face of life's most daunting challenges of alcohol and drug addiction. The Episode takes you through their descent into the harrowing depths of addiction and their remarkable journey back to healing, hope, and the bond of a father and daughter. Rod Butterss, an accomplished Australian entrepreneur, demonstrated remarkable business acumen by founding and selling three companies, accumulating a total of around $240 million. At the age of 40, he assumed the role of President of the St Kilda Football Club, serving from 2000 to 2007. His leadership was instrumental in transforming the club from a consistent underperformer into a financially robust and competitive team. However, his career faced a dramatic downturn due to struggles with alcoholism and substance abuse, which cast a shadow over his business successes and leadership roles. Despite these personal challenges, Butterss embarked on a path to recovery and now dedicates time to helping others overcome addiction, now sober. Ash Butterss inspiring journey of personal transformation commenced on February 24, 2020, when she sought treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. Despite her success in the corporate world, Ash grappled with accepting her addiction. Her struggle reached a turning point at rock bottom, leading to insights about the role of trauma and its varied coping mechanisms, influenced partly by growing up in an alcoholic home. As a Holistic Transformation Coach, Podcaster, and Yoga & Meditation teacher, Ash is committed to eradicating the stigma around mental health and addiction. In her podcast 'Behind the Smile,' she shares tools and insights from her recovery, explores topics like addiction and trauma, and supports others on their recovery paths. This episode is a beacon of hope, demonstrating the power of vulnerability and honesty. It's an essential listen for anyone touched by addiction, parents of teenagers, and those seeking inspiration to transform their lives amidst adversity. Join us in this unflinchingly honest conversation that goes to the heart of resilience, recovery, and the rediscovery of joy against all odds.
