Thanks for the 2005 GF Monty. Along with many others I've said on this board before that you should have had the Norm Smith, and I notice in this season's Age Footy Guide "should have won 2005 Norm Smith medal". You are a hard worker and you've left your mark on the club. I hope things go well for you in Brisbane and that the change will refresh your approach - lots of mutual respect between the two clubs should help things along.

It's sad that his last few years with the Swans have been mostly disappointing and really frustrating but his 2005 GF performance will always be a memorable one. I hope the Lions can get the laziness out of him ASAP.

[Lohengrin]

Disappointing to see him leaving, but his best football seems to be well past him judging by his past year or so.

The whole Norm Smith thing is confusing - I think I count half a dozen players robbed!

Amon - will miss you. It won't be the same without you & Crouchy & Schneider man & the mad irishman.
I feel like the guts have been ripped from the club - lucky that Kirky is still there to restore my faith.

Thanks for the memories Monty!

It is a shame you couldn't get back into form and play like you could back in 05 and 06. I've always believed you could get back into that stellar but it is disappointing and most unfortunate to see you not play your last game in the red and white, hampered with injuries and blooding in the new younger players throughout the 08 and 09 season!!!

Best of luck against the Lions.

You will sorely be missed! I'm going to miss you! I

Good luck Monty.

You were a great player for us in 05 & 06. Instrumental in both GF's and the seasons preceeding them. Could be argued that we wouldn't have that magical cup in 05 without you. All the best.

Mind you, you've been an absolute spud since then. How you ever played a game in 08 & 09 is beyond me. Probably should of traded both you and Schneider in a package deal for Dal Santo/Ball/Montagna.

Hope you get back to form and continue on at the Lions.

[Lucky Knickers]

Good luck Amon. Thanks for 2005! I'm sure Jon Pumper will go well in QLD as well.

Let's not forget, his @rse was where his knees out to be

[BeeEmmAre]

Thanks for the memories, Monty. None of us will ever forget the goal that delivered us the flag. Best of luck for your future with the Lions.

[Jewels]

They don't muck around on the website, Buchanans' name has been removed from the player list already!

[ShockOfHair]

Probably on legal advice. Is Seaby up there yet? (he asks, too lazy to look).
