    If Laidlaw can keep developing at the rate he is going atm he will be able to fill Tadhg's role. Don't discount Dempster either....we still haven't seen this man been given a chance to attack.

      Plus, if he spills the beans in the FoxFooty show tonight then I think it is appropriate that he makes an official announcement with the club before the show is aired.

        I hope it's not true, but it will be good news for little Willo, if it is.

        Not because little Willo would ever take a Tadhg role, but survival on a team list is a numbers game. Although he should take the opportunity to change his first name so that it's spelt Joshau, and pronounced 'Joe'. It's all about market differentiation.

        Could only further improve Jon Simpkin's already pretty handy chances of getting promoted, as well.

          Bugger. It was always going to be sad to see Tadhg go back to Ireland when it happened, and it looks like it's going to happen sooner rather than later. A great player for us over the last few years, I wish him all the best in pursuing his dream in Ireland. He will be missed, but hey, life goes on. It opens up another spot on the list now, so should be some added incentive for the players in the ressies to impress at the back end of the ACTAFL season.

            He's been brilliant. He's made a pretty good name for himself ... being an import and all.
            Well, if he wanted to move on, and his contract was up, you couldn't stop him. I think he'd probably like to get a few years of gaelic (?) footy up before his body gives out.
            It would be a pity to lose him.
            At least he wouldn't be going to another aussie team.
            Some consolation.
            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
            Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

              I suppose the club's investment was paid off with a premiership, however we will be losing a player who is now in his prime with no compensation by way of a trade or draft picks. That is disappointing but I guess there's nothing we can do about it.

                We may be able to trade him off to the Kangaroos. The Powell trade worked out for them well...

                  I would like to see Dempster take over his role, he has the ability to succed in that area of running off half back & moving the ball through the middle. Not only is Dempster's speed exciting, his kick on the run is usually a beauty.

                  The one he kicked last saturday against the lions from about 50 out was awesome.

                    LMAO! If we got away with that, Roos should change his surname to "Sheedy"...master at getting trades to work in his favour.

                      Sad news for Swans, awesome news for the Kingdom! Will he try and dump us out of finals here to get back in time for Kerry's all-Ireland final game?

                        True, a good club man would have agreed to a trade and then quit in early 2007.

                          Listening to SEN now and they have said nothing about this so called press conference.

                            Amen to that, i never realised he was such a big kick of the footy, that goal even had my fiance going "what a beautiful kick" and she barely says 2 words apart from telling me to stop yelling (headaches, not cos she's too snotty haha)

                            Massive Dempster fan, not to mention that run in the 2nd quarter of the GF before dishing off to Fosdike, oh i mean Kennelly... good work Ch 10!
