Swans: McPherson retires!

[Swannette]

Hey Frosty

I will always remember your #13 boot, brilliant to a forward on the lead and otherwise remembered for its 13 second ??? record of goal from the opening bounce a couple of years ago.

Thanks for your commitment to the swans Frostie, and your no holds bard attitude to footy. Good luck in your life beyond the swans, I hope you choose to stay involved in the game you love.

Hey Frosty thanks for the memories, an astute player who gave his all to ONE club. Hope life goes well!

Agree. More succinctly I think it is very noble for him to pull the plug himself rather than get de-listed, or sold off on the meat market as draft bait.

A player who was at his best in 1996 in his position on half back. Had a prodigeous kick, but frustrated many by kicking it along the ground or errantly often only minutes after starring. Similarly to cult hero Troy Luff he has had to fight back from being on the outer several times.

All in all a great clubman. Hopefully he can hang around the club, or Sydney footy in some way or form.

Simon Garlick is at Whitten Oval.
Shannon Grant is at Arden St.
Greg Stafford is at Punt Road.

Also Rocca was an emergency

As was Nicks I think?

Well done Frosty, you gave the club great service, and I loved it when you pumped those long goals from outside 50. You will be missed.

good luck in the future frosty... as JF said, im glad he retired before being delisted... a better way to bow out...

Thanks for your efforts Frosty. You were always one of my favourites. Loved that booming deadly accurate kick of yours. One of the joys of being a Swanophile over the past decade. Good luck with whatever you pursue.

Well done Frosty. All the best. You can look back on your playing career with pride.

Bye Frosty. Got the most out of yourself, enjoy the rest of your life.

He did well with what he had.Many players would have been jealous of his boot.
I bet he was drug tested more than any player at the Swans.He looked like a conehead.
I am sure he wasn't though.
Is he related to Jason Mc Pherson of mighty East Sydney

Yep, his brother. They've got 2 other brothers also playing at UNSW-ES.

Always had a soft spot for Frosty as he always tried really hard and gave 100%. Loved the long kicks on the run but had me worried on set shots.
Remember sitting next to his Mum & sister in the Ladies stand and they got really excited whenever he got the ball, the bloke behind us asked her if she was a Frosty fan and she said "of course I am I'm his mother"! She also won the raffle that day.
I thought Jason was his cousin.

According to AFL '98 (the official handbook of the AFL) Jason is Daniel's brother.He was on Sydney's rookie list for 1998 .


Dont know what happened to him after that ; can anyone give more details

Interesting... I seem to recall reading in a football record that they were born 6 months apart, which would mean either

a) one was born very premature
b) they are cousins (as I thought)
c) the football record was wrong
d) the 1998 official AFL handbook was wrong

Or they have the same father and different mothers!
