    Congratulations Micky - age might be catching up but the magic is still there.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

      I just heard the news that Kirky is 'considering his career options' and will make an announcement sometime this week-Ireland has said strongly that the Swans want him to play on and I really hope he does, I?m not sure if any of the younger guys can quite match his ability to limit his opposition, and I will just plain miss watching him play if he goes

      Would be devestated to see Kirky go just yet, but he will make the right decision, always does.
      Is there an email address to send farewell messages to MOL ? So many kind wishes, he should know how much Mickey Love there is out there.

        That is a brilliant idea! I am so glad his last game is at the SCG!

          A legend. Win it for Mickey, please.

          I've been bracing for MOL's departure all year. I'm not ready yet to say goodbye to Kirk.

            How about:

            and they can forward it on. It's worked for me in the past. And maybe RWO could do something for him at the end of the season - a book of Magic threads, perhaps?

              One of my favourite Swans of all time.

              Congratulations Magic and many thanks for all the wonderful memories over the years.

              You're a legend.

                Great idea about using the Swans Membership-though they may give up after the first few hundred messages!

                A book of magic threads & fav Magic Moments?

                      The scoreboard listed him as having kicked 512 on Saturday night. It wouldn't surprise me if it was wrong but I have a feeling it's right this time.

                          Great idea. So, who has about six months spare to work on this....well we had better cull the thing then.

                            No, 512 is correct, got the 500 against Cats in Rd 7, I think.

                              A true legend and one of the all time greats of the South Melbourne/Sydney Swans.
                              I shed a tear when you announced your retirement, Mick, and I certainly will on Sunday and again at Round 22.
                              Play a blinder against the Tigers and hopefully your 21 mates won't let you down.

                              GO SWANS AND MAGIC MICKEY O!

                                Loved the story of him coming to Sydney and after a week he rang his Mum and said,
                                "Mum I'm comin home, I don't like this big smoke, it's all too much."
                                "You stay there son, you'll be allright, don't come home yet."
                                After another week, he phoned home again.
                                "Mum, it's still no good, too many cars, too many people, I'm coming home now Mum."
                                "You can't come home son."
                                "Why Mum, I need to come home."
                                "I've sold your bed to your cousin, son."
