Bio
A versatile utility recruited from Croydon, Craig Devonport is best remembered by St Kilda fans as a lively half-forward who played a key role during the club’s resurgence in the early 1990s. Possessing a natural goal sense and the agility of a former basketballer, he was capable of brilliance in short bursts, most famously kicking the winning goal against Collingwood in 1992 moments after receiving a heated boundary-line spray from coach Ken Sheldon. While he could tear games apart—once booting five goals in a single quarter at the WACA—he eventually struggled to hold a permanent forward spot and was repurposed as a defender. At the end of 1995, he was traded to Carlton in a deal that holds significant historical weight, as the Saints used the compensation pick (No. 19) to draft future superstar Barry Hall. Devonport’s time at Princes Park was brief, managing just one senior game for two goals before injuries curtailed his AFL career.
