    Perhaps you should, god forbid, take a lesson from one Nick Davis and show a bit of maturity and class.
    Not retired. Like most punters will die in traces. As for learning about class and dignity I'll skip the Lance Thompson seminar series.

            Did a reasonable job most of the year. Had some very good games against some bottom end teams. Got towelled up a couiple of times, most notably by Murphy in the last game of the season. Dale Thomas used him as a step ladder a couple of times at Telstra IIRC and he was beaten on the night. Still struggles against the better players IMO, but certainly an improver.

              Curious , as I havent seen anywhere apart from RealFooty which hardly ever has the facts right that Nick has been officially delisted.
              Club Website has no mention.

                    Good point. Lance "The Mouth" has undoubtedly leaked it to the media. And got his client to give a simpering oh so sincere interview to the media before any decision was officially announced by the club. Fun and games

                      Cheers for that, though its only a report quoting Thompson and Davis.

                      Dont want to get to excited until its official

                        You ask a lot of questions.

                        Too many some say.

                          Lance the mouth leaked it to the Herald.
                          It was mentioned in a small paragraph on the second back page (the sports "gossip" pages) ... the same place that the tiny paragraph about senior swans players not being too happy at the club appeared.
                          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.

                              Your user name would be insignificant if it wasn't for Nicky D's contribution.

                              Best of Luck Nick hope you get picked up by another club.

                                What do you do whenever the ball's in the air - shut your eyes so you miss seeing the mark?

                                There have been plenty of contested marks taken by Swans players. We wouldn't have won the premiership in 2005 without Nick Davis kicking four goals in a quarter in a semi final against the Cats. One of those was a set shot after a contested mark against two Cats. Kirk nearly took mark of the year in the same season. It's not hard to find other examples.
