    At his best he was fantastic for us. However, I have a feeling that he's well past his best, and hence I wonder how long he will be in our top 22.
    I have to agree, hopefully he comes back and proves us wrong.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        I hope so. Missing Crouch was one of the reasons we lost the grand final - with him in the side I think we would have been more competitive and energetic in the first half.

          Add a fit Crouch & Everitt to our 2006 GF team and we would now be looking at a 3 peat.

          It's as simple as that.

          I meet Everitt at trade show during draft week in 2005 and when I mentioned that I was a Swans supporter he immediately said that he desperatley wanted to play for the Swans in 2006. I now look back at the conversation with alot of sadness.

            I'm not sure it's THAT simple, but we probably would have had a much better first half, which means would probably would have won *sigh* Let's not get into if's and maybe's, it depresses me

              He certainly helped create one goal(Schneiders) in the 2005 GF with his dogged chase on the ball.

                I love that passage of footy, how many Weagles did he have to beat, 3,4... ?

                  About that, he was surrounded, and beat them with a bit of pacs and a deft tap to MOL(?).

                    That was a magnificent piece of play!
