James Gwilt what a great player and fantastic skills from a scrawney kid at 18 who played on the HFF in a semi final to a regular in the backline.

He is fleet footed and was hoping should be rotated through the midfield with his now strength added to his game.

I didint really think he would play 20 games at first but i like him now as a player after 5 years it takes a bit longer for suburban players without elite junior training.

Congrats Jimmy, I can truly say, I knew you would make it

If it's to be on the banner, it should read...

50 games for Jimmy
With many more to go
Nic-Nat may have dreadlocks
But we say "go the fro"

Good stuff Sainter K

And well-done Jimmy, it hasn't been easy but well done to a much improved player.

Exactly what I was thinking. Jimmy has never been scrawny.

Well done to the Fro man, easily the most improved so far in 2010

Hope he plays the next 50 straight

Needs to go forward like Gram and kick some goals for us. Hope he gets a few as the year unfolds

A suburb not far from Dandenong that is one of the most dangerous areas to live in Melbourne.

I'm assuming you'd have to be a tough footballer growing up in that area!

Milne and Glen Archer also from recruited via Noble Park.

Archer cetainly talks about it being a fairly rough area in his day. Its about 15 mins from where I live and has a reputation as being a pretty rough area, although I don't think I've actually ever been there.

BTW....congrats Jimmy on reaching 50 games. A fantastic achievement!! It wasn't lookly likely after being in and out a few times over the past few years, but looks to have found a place in the backline and is much improved this year. Well done!!

Congratulations Jimmy. Loving your work in the backline this year.

Another player who starts to show some consistancy and cement a spot after 50 games. Although he did play that blinder early on.

Always held high hopes for Gwilt after his performance in Adelaide. It really seems to have all fallen into place for him and he really does seem to have worked out how to keep a level head under pressure. I love the way he goes about it.

yeah jimmy doing well huh

remember last year i think it was over in adelaide at the after match function i said to him 'good game james' and he was rather disappointed in himself.
obviously has applied himself and now look....
i love when he goes in for the pill, he's strong, quick and has a great booming kick

i think he'll get even better yet

I would have said so, as I did many times.
Go , go the boy from Rabaul.

I'm sure your right Matrix, I think his best is still to come.

Well done on the half ton and I'm sure he will keep improving as he gets closer to the ton!

Well done JG -I agree that he will only get better as he matures even more.

I think you're exaggerating the social issues for a suburb like Noble Park just because it's about three or four railway stations from Dandenong.

Talk more about how the Noble Park Football Club has produced some good footballers over the year with a reputation of being a tough club.

ozrulestrace · Thu 20 May 2010 7:36pm

PS Congratulations Jimmy Gwilt.

A well deserved and well earned 50 games with the Saints.

And to think I was there at the semi final in Adelaide and there you were thrown into the cauldron and did ok.

Well-deserved congrats to Jimmy...the only bloke on our list to show improvement from 2009 and take the next step IMO
