    >>So you want to recruit a 28 - 29 year old with a history of shoulder
    >>and knee problems in a game which is faster than 3 seasons ago?


    Wont be the first time we did it (Barling, Brereton, Daffy)

    >>Who would you rather have Pavlich or Kennelly?
    >>As far as i know Pav doesn't hanker to go to Croatia.


    Wow! You're pretty well informed. No he doesn't want to return to Croatia. But he did once express interest in returning to Crow-mania. He's a South Australian!!! His family and friends are in Adelaide!!! At various times Pav's publically stated he wants to remain with Freo or other time it's been maybe return to SA. During contract negotiations with Freo he declared that he wasn't interested in even the strong Victorian clubs with plenty of money, let alone the Swans.

    >>He has a track record of disloyalty

    No one will ever change your harsh and resolute opinion on this (depite that you seem to be in the minority in these thread postings) so it's a waste of my neuro transmitters even replying anymore. The arguments have been made on both sides. Fact is, it's all just supposition and conjecture... no gurantee he will come back anyway and for all of your hot air, objections and protestations, fortunately for the rest of us, the Swans and Tadhg himself you , connelly, have absolutely no say whatsoever on whether he gets a contract extension.

    >>and homesickness.

    One incident (after his dad died, after career threatening injuries, and to fulfill an ambition that he stated when he signed his first contract as a teenage intertnational rookie)

    >>Let him test his worth in the marketplace.

    I think you miss the point. He never said he was worth anything (ala ROK). Tadhg only wants to come back (and I don't think even that's been factually established - it was only Hutchy making another of his attenting seeking "exclusive" reports on the Footy Show at this stage).

    Please let this thread RIP

      Kerry will win the All-Ireland final this year (they are the Geelong of AFL) and the final is always the last Sunday in September.
      Tadhg has had a few injuries at club and county level in Ireland.
      I am a friend and a fan of Tadhgs and I dont think he will be as good as he was 4-5 years ago.
      comeback maybe

        I happened to watch his playing for County Kerry on Sunday night. His team came back from several "points" down to draw the game in the final seconds. Tiger kicked a crucial over & was playing from a position of a half forward flank (wow they even call it that in Gaelic football! ) Then he got replaced late in the 2nd half. Oh, and he has hair again too, except for the ever-increasing bald spot on top.

        I was shocked as to how like Aussie Rules Gaelic footy really was. No wonder they beat us in International Rules. It is like footy was 10-15 years ago, few ball ups, lots of running & a great deal of individual skill in shooting for goal & avoiding opponents without losing the ball.

        Can somebody up with Gaelic Football tell me what game he was playing on Sunday night? They were saying it was the Leinster final? Do they winner of that game go into the All-Ireland? If so & he wins & fulfills a life-long dream, does that mean he comes back to the Swans?

        Can somebody up with GAA please keep us in the loop as to how he is going. And if they have Setanta what time his games on.

          He's a great bloke. Love him.
          His comeback will be shorter than Pluggers.

          However on the positive side, he could teach the cheer squad to do an Irish Jig after every Swans goal. I'd like to see that! Just to hear Bruce Macca say "How delicious was that""

          Come back Mr T and bring your dancing shoes with you.

          PS - leave your footy boots at home though.

            Just watched those three videos. Thanks for posting Waterfowl. Gawd I hope he wins the All Ireland for his sake. Always was one of my favourite players at the Swans. You can see how these things would have been tugging at his heartstrings over the years especially after his father passed away.

              Kerry will not win the All Ireland. Its even doubtful whether he will be picked in their run on squad. They replaced him in Sundays game against Cork when they were making a comeback. Its called O'Karma

                The way he left suggested little loyalty so do you really think it'd be great to have a damaged player back to earn some more money at the expense of a junior we could develop into that role.
                I couldnt agree more with yr views...he really did a number on us during draft season...this supporter dont want him back..bring on our home grown young talent..

                      Does anyone know whether the All Ireland game will be broadcast on the internet or TV in Sydney?

                        Don't know ii.

                        Do know that Roosey went (is going?) to Ireland to "support" him in his granny. (It was mentioned in Sunday's paper.)

                        Roosey said that if Tiger bought up returning he's all ears, but won't bring it up himself.

                        Yeah. Right.
                        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                              I wasn't going to put it in such blunt terms, but yes, if you find an Irish proxy that bypasses Raidi? Teilif?@s ?ireann's security protocols then I suppose you could do that.

                                Was it mentioned if any of the players were going? No-one will have left yet, of course, till after the dinner on Friday. Then the Brownlow count is less than 24 hours after the game ends. Maybe Goodesy will need to accept the Charlie from Dublin?

                                Regarding the "Question" - I think Roosy's presence in Dublin will make its verbal expression redundant.
