Mega Thread The Former Player Thread: Part 2

[Kiama Chris]

Fascinating re Kizza. I wonder if he got head hunted or if he was looking for a job out west in particular for some reason?

And Hanners is still heartbroken about 2016: “Some of those free kick goals…”: Why former Swan finds it hard to move on from 2016 Grand Final loss. Fair enough. Still, my hope for him as it is for all of us, is that he (and we) can move on.

Didn't Kizza go west with his wife? Where her family is from. Reckon Don looked him up or vv. He'd make a terrific offsider I reckon.

I can't agree. I say malign the hell out of the Bulldogs flag.

Hanners is on SEN Sunday at 10 am

Kieran’s wife is from Perth. Her family are here. I wondered if the Don Pyke connection would come in handy. Although I do see it as slightly treasonous!

It was bound to happen, saw someone on the WC board say Pyke and Chad may have caught up over Christmas break over in Perth.

You’ll be relieved to know this didn’t bump Harley Reid off the back page of the West Australian.

I don't imagine anything will for some time. Feel sorry for the kid.

yep.

it really is the worst current/daily example of click bait going around. It is only a matter of time before the Worst Australian manufactures a story about Harley meeting alleged war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith.

I reckon, like everyone, Harley will be a fine player but his career will be topped by the GoCo’s Walter. The low key entry of Walter is markedly different to and easier than Harleys. This is a classic lesson in how the northern clubs are better places for very talented players.

The Adelaide Addled ‘riser would go similarly bonkers if Walkers bane of Satan kkk kid was recruited by the Jim Crows.

It's funny that Dan sat through and watched the game, slowed it down etc. Because I've done the same thing (as have a bunch of other swans fans).

He talks about the passage of play where ranpe gets pinged even though he got a handball out. That was part of a 5 minute stretch where the calls were just ludicrously lopsided (compared to the shitfully lopsided calls for the rest of the game).

takes breath

Okay. I'll stop now. Just stopped by to say I second Hanners assessment of the umpiring.

Inspiring comeback adds to Tigers' talls dilemma

After an exceptional first pre-season at Richmond, Sam Naismith is on track to complete an unlikely AFL return 1354 days after his most recent appearance

Naismith on track quite possibly to play opening round for the Tiges. Done well over the pre-season and against Gawn in the practice match.

If Naismith DOES play AFL for Richmond, he no longer qualifies for the former players thread.

Mods: I anticipate you will meticulously remove all mention of S.Naismith from this thread.

To allow him to remain would endorse pure anarchy!

Good luck to him but if he plays like he did for us he won't get a run.

Was obviously great to see so many past players back at the SCG last night but this.caught my attention. From Barry Halls insta. It's nice to know he doesn't hold a grudge. Would love to see it one day.

 

[mcs095]

That hair on Barry's kids is absolutely wild!

Like you, so happy to see the inglorious end of his time at the Swans has been put in the past.

 

[Jeffers]

I’m so glad Bazza has come back to the Swans family. For a moment there I thought all the bridges were burnt.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Not sure if this has been posted but would have been a shit experience for Tom Mitchell.
