Bob Skilton Medal Night - Spoilers

Heard DOK and Cheese weren't there on the night...could we read more into that?

Two wonderful feel-good stories in ROK and Rhyce - well done to both of them for fabulous years.

I know I should take my medicine for bagging Shaw - a few on here who should be feeling a tad sheepish after what was said about ROK.

Let's go back to just after last year's Best and Fairest. It's very early October 2008. It has just been announced on the Fox/cable program "On the Couch" via Gerald Healy that Ryan O'Keefe is leaving the Swans. At the same time Rhyce Shaw still is on the Pies' player List, with no indication that he is going anywhere.

Move ahead about 50 weeks. What odds would you give that in 2009, the Sydney Swan's Best and Fairest would be Ryan O'Keefe, and second place would be Rhyce Shaw?

Primmy's posts make my heart swell with pride and happiness at being a swans member!!!

will have to be there next year - can't wait!!!

... One important thing I haven't made mention of is that they all respect and admire John Longmire. I think they are very very pleased to have him as head honcho in waiting...

Thanks for your second innings Primmy - another good read. And in view of the mixed reactions to John Longmire's appointment it is very reassuring to note this bit and recall how Paul Roos came to be appointed.

Thanks Primmy for a wonderful insight to the night.

Congrats to ROK

Shawly Rhyce will follow in Willow and Schaubs's footsteps?

Don't know what happened to Barlow, but DOK had a bereavement in the family during the week.

How did Bevo finish up in the votes?

Don't know what happened to Barlow, but DOK had a bereavement in the family during the week.

Think I read somewhere that Barlow had a post season op - knee I think. So maybe he's recuperating somewhere.

[ShockOfHair]

Well done ROK.

He obviously doesn't read RWO.

THE SYDNEY Swans? newly anointed club champion, Ryan O?Keefe, says he?s grateful to the supporters who welcomed him with open arms after his failed bid to return to Melbourne.

Good night. But seriously, they need to have a look at how the votes are awarded. Just so random. Up to 50 votes for as many players as they want?? Come on. In some games there was 14 or more players receiving votes. In others, 6 or less. Way to incionsistent and way to open for "interpretation" by those voting.
