In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Sh-Sm
Smith's impact was immediate as he instilled significantly greater passion, steel and resolve into a talented team, inspiring them to take out the 1979 flag with a spectacular 43 point grand final win over arch rival South Fremantle.
Smith himself won the club's best and fairest award in 1921, but two years later he was on the move to Launceston, where he spent three seasons before being appointed captain-coach of Longford, which was making its NTFA debut.
Smith combined the exceptional pace expected of a VFL wingman with exemplary disposal skills, and was one of the few Saints players of the time who could regularly be expected to win his position.

 St Kilda
When Darrel Baldock held the Victorian Football League premiership cup aloft at the Melbourne Cricket Ground late on the afternoon of September 1966 it represented the culmination of almost a century's worth of effort, dedication, determination and despair - mostly despair.
At the same time, this could logically be expected to have a positive side effect in terms of raising the overall standard of football being played, with the result that attendances would be likely to increase, and the image of the sport would be correspondingly enhanced.
With the interjection of the word 'Victorian' in front of 'footballer or follower of the game' these were sentiments which would be mirrored almost exactly 68 seasons later prior to St Kilda's unsuccessful grand final meeting with the Crows.

The early danger brought the best out of England and Bowditch's perceptive ball swiftly released Smith down the left and the Arsenal flyer was only inches away from the far corner with his firmly struck snap-shot on the run.
