Jason Traianidis

Jason Traianidis (born 7 November 1974) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Originally from Shepparton, Traianidis was a member of the North Melbourne reserves 1995 premiership team. He had been on North Melbourne's supplementary list that season and was almost drafted by the club in the 1996 pre-season but they went for Peter Bell at the last minute.

Traianidis was instead signed by St Kilda and after taking part in their Ansett Cup premiership - where he kicked one of the competition's most famous goals off the ground - played 13 AFL games in 1996. A half forward, he kicked two goals on debut and was goal-less in his second game despite scoring five behinds. He suffered a back injury in 1997 which kept him on the sidelines for much of the year but got to play in St Kilda's qualifying final win over the Brisbane Lions.
