    How sad.
    Geez that man has done a lot for us.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

        I loved watching Ricky play. Well done Ricky, sporting clubs need people like you.

              What was wrong with that comment.

              I am no great fan of Quade either. Obviously Richard Colless was not around when he coached. He had no idea. He was a battler of a player in my opinion, hardly that of a legend. Leader, hardly - refer to the previous posters comment.

                Somewhat appropriate he is replaced by a g. paramore. Is someone having a laugh here?

                  Let's just leave it at the fact that there is not any great friendship between the pair.

                  Regardless, Ricky has been a great contributor on and off the field for the Swans and doesn't deserve dimwit remarks, but our thanks.

                    Well done Mr. Quade, you are a very respected Swans man. Oh my dear ol' Swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanee!

                      His performance would be best described as ordinary in a number of ways. As for thanks, thanks but no thanks

                        Yep, congrats on shagging the wives of half the Swans players back in the day.

                        No great loss IMO.

                          Come on Blood, surely this is the legendary leadership qualities that our Richard talked about.

                          Wayne Carey and a high profile coach reading the "Annals of VFL Football" clearly picked up on the quality of this leadership aspect.

                          On another point: we have discussed on here the merits of browny points for 2005 premiership players, well our Ricky clearly amassed maximum browny points for his role in "leading" the Swans to Sydney - 24 years of them, whew, breathtaking stuff. Not as good as his mate Graeme John though.

                            Nico, I normally don't question your knowledge of footy as you seem to know a bit, but if you are saying he was a "battler" of a player, well, that gets me upset.

                            If you are from Melbourne you would know that he was the first player to ever get 10/10 in the Sun Score.

                            In fact I think he was the only player to get it.

                            Please adjust your opinion accordingly.

                              Foreign, I can't change my opinion. He was slow and couldn't kick. Sure you could say he was strong courageous but that doesn't make him necessarily a good player. I'm not saying injury didn't contribute to my opinion, but he was no match winner. The 10/10 always gets brought up as if it is his only claim to fame.

                              I reckon I was at the 10/10 game and if I recall correctly he stood on the bowling green side of the Lake Oval with a howling gale going that side and the ball just kept coming to him. To think he was the only player to get 10/10 when there were so many outstanding players at the time, can only bring me to accept that it was a fluke, but yes he played a top game that day. A strategy that worked perhaps, fine player, hardly.

                              I respect your opinion and indeed we lovers of this great sport very often see things through different eyes as they say.

                              It is really interesting as opinions were very divided as to the merits of Ricky Quade in the outer at the Lake Oval. I can tell you though, it was unanimous that he was a pretty ordinary coach.
