🚨 SIGNED & STAYING 🚨

BT IS BACK. And trust us… you’ll want him on your side🔒

Welcome back Brandon “BT”Taylor!

POSITION: Half Back

STATUS: Tagging GUN🎯

After taking a few years away from the Saints, BT made his return last year and slotted straight back into the club like he’d never left.

This year, he took on a crucial tagging role and let us tell you… he is VERY good at what he does🫡

BT has become a huge part of our side again, and we couldn’t be happier to have him locked in for 2027.

It was time to put BT in the Saints Rapid Fire hot seat 🎙️

🥩 Favourite dinner? Steak.
🔵 AFL team? Carlton.
🧛‍♀️ Favourite TV show? The Vampire Diaries.

And fresh off celebrating the big 3-0 last week, we reckon BT is only getting better with age. We are stoked to have you back for another year. Here’s to another big one in Saints kit! ⚪️🔴⚫️

🚨NEW SAINT ALERT🚨

Welcome to the Saints, Adam McKelvie! 🙌

Joining us from Yarrawonga, Adam is ready to bring his versatility to the red, white & black in 2027, with the ability to slot in across half back, midfield and the wing🔴⚪️⚫️

A new club, a new opportunity and a whole new bunch of people to meet. Adam is ready to get stuck in and see what we can build together.

When he’s not running around the footy field, you’ll probably find Adam enjoying a good carbonara or settling in for an episode of The Inbetweeners. And when it comes to the AFL, he’s a Footscray man through and through.

Adam won’t be making the move alone either, with partner Tammika and their son George joining him on the Saints journey. We’re so excited to welcome the whole family into the club✨

Welcome to the Saints, Adam! We’re excited to have you on board🔴⚪️⚫️

🚨NEW SAINT ALERT🚨

Welcome to the Saints, John Fahey! 🙌

Joining us from Bullioh, John is ready to hit the forward line in 2027, usually finding himself roaming around that high half forward role🔴⚪️⚫️

And if there’s one thing John knows, it’s winning premierships. An U18s, U19s, and most recently a senior premiership at Bulioh.

When he’s not chasing a flag, John is a fan of pizza, a parmi or a some buffalo wings, with the TV permanently tuned into some kind of sport. And yes, he goes for Hawthorn… so we’re going to give him a minute and some support to recover from last week🥴

Most importantly, He is excited to put in the hard work, get stuck in with the boys and help build something pretty awesome at the Saints.

Welcome to the Saints, John! We can’t wait to see what 2027 brings🔴⚪️⚫️

Welcome back #27 Tom Dempsey! 🔒

POSITION: FORWARD

STATUS: LET THE MAN COOK🔒

After many years around the Saints, we couldn’t be happier to have Dimma back for another season. 🔴⚪️⚫️

Dimma made his return to senior football this year and didn’t look one bit out of place. It’s been so good having him back out there, and we’re stoked to have another year of him coming our way.

A true clubman, Dimma is exactly what we want at the Saints and it’s been even more special welcoming his family into the club after the arrival of his little girl at the end of 2025. 👶🏼

We put Dimma into the Saints Rapid Fire hot seat 🎙️

Who does he go for in the AFL? 🔵
And what’s something his teammates don’t know about him? 👀

Let’s just say… there’s a hidden chef amongst us. 😂👨‍🍳

Hit play to find out. 🎥👇

Dim, we’re so happy to have you back for 2027. We can’t wait to see what the next season brings!🙌

🚨 NEW SAINT ALERT 🚨

Welcome to the Saints, Wil Weidner! 🙌

Joining us from Howlong, Wil is ready to lock down the back pocket/flank and officially put on the saints gear in 2027🔴⚪️⚫️

Wil has already been around the club this past year, joining us for a few functions and fitting in with the crew like he’d been here all along. Safe to say, when the opportunity came to make it official, we were pretty bloody excited to have him on board.

A pizza or burger kind of guy, a Friends enthusiast and a proud Richmond man, Wil is most looking forward to getting stuck into the Saints functions and more importantly, striving for finals in 2027.

We’ve loved seeing a glimpse of what Wil brings to the club already, and we can’t wait to see him officially become part of the team.

Welcome to the Saints, Wil! The functions are calling, finals are the goal, and 2027 is ready to go 💪🏼

🚨 NOZ IS BACK 🚨

Welcome home, Aydan Nowak!🙌

After a year away from football following injury, Noz is back where he belongs, home at the Saints 🔴⚪️⚫️

A true club man, recent, a lover of a good “hot girl walk”, and the kind of bloke who makes a club better just by being around, we couldn’t be happier to have him back in the red, white & black.

There’s no doubt he’s been a missing piece of our puzzle, and we can’t wait to see what 2027 has in store for Noz.

The comeback is on. Les Cheesley is calling and Aydan is ready to make his mark this year.

Welcome home Nozza, we couldn’t be happier to have you and the fam back. Let’s make 2027 one to remember! 💪🏼

🚨 SIGNED & STAYING 🚨

Welcome back William Payne! ⚡️

Payney is back for another season at The Saints and we couldn’t be more excited to have him back where he belongs🔴⚪️⚫️

After suffering an ACL injury that ruled him out for the 2026 season, Payney never let it keep him away from the club.

In fact, He didn’t miss a game.

From becoming our #1 stats man to never missing a tackle count, Payney showed up every single week and proved exactly what being a true clubman is all about💪🏼

He’s put in the hard yards throughout his recovery and done everything the right way to pave the way for a huge 2027!

It was Payney’s turn in the Saints Rapid Fire hot seat 🎙️

Known for a great NBA debate with our Senior Coach, we’re sure there was plenty to unpack… 🏀😂

And of course, we have to mention his love for a Birra Chicken Snitty🍗

Lucky for him, they’re one of our sponsors! 👀

While the KPIs might have to find a new stats man for next season, we’re just bloody excited to see this guy back out on the field in 2027.
Here’s to a big 2027!🔴⚪️⚫️
