Is Tadhg kennelly coming back to the swans? YES HE IS!

[Dalai Lama]

he may need to consult the Advance Hair studio, or get some advice from Ricky Ponting on how to get a quality head piece, as he'll return far from looking like Tommy Alvin?

[Primmy]

He likes us!!! He really really likes us!!!!

Still, its a YAY from me.

[Dalai Lama]

Coach Roos live on SEN in 3 minutes talking about the Irish return....!

[dimelb]

A rested, refreshed proven performer of that calibre, and still only 28? It's a lay down misere - and welcome back Tadhg.

But hopefully looking awfully like Gary Ablett Jnr if he was adefender

I just heard the news I'm so happy he's back next question will he keep the number 17 jersey or will he get a different number

[swansrob]

Why would he get a different guernsey?

The headline was rubbish.

The article itself was less certain that anything was set in stone.

Massive news. The picture is building and it?s starting to look same same as 2005 but different.

Mal (back to full flight), Mattner, Teddy, Shaw, Tadhg, (excepting LRT) will be ominous force to be reckoned with - with all this run out of the backline we won't need a midfield. ROK will therefore be able to concentrate on playing out wide but up forward. The flood will return but it will be a forward line flood ie rather than kicking the ball long to a 50/50 contest the Swans will run the ball long with all the backline run into a packed inside 50m. I?m already expecting Tadhg and Roos to be doing a joint jig at the MCG come the last week of September.

Wow, the side is already looking a lot better than it did after the first couple of days of trade week. Bradshaw, Kennelly, Kennedy...we will be a superior side next season, I suspect.

After bagging him for the last 12mths, looks like I'll have to suck it up and say I was wrong. If this was the plan all along, i.e. to let him go fulfill his ambition to win a Premiership in Ireland and then return to Sydney, well done to the Swans and Tadgh. Still not haoppy with him leaving us a player short this year but in hindsight, probably made no difference anyway. Provided he's fit and commited, this could be the biggest signing of the off season. I'll certainly welcome him back with open arms.

What an absolute joke.

Putting aside the way the club has indulged him, does anyone seriously believe his body's going to hold up to the rigours of AFL for another two years? We don't need an ageing player, past his prime, taking a developmental spot from a younger player. Recruiting Bradshaw was one thing, but bringing back Kennelly? Please.

Sounds like the club has had a rush of blood to the head about our short-term prospects. What's the bet Kennelly gets injured before even half the season is over?

Why the obsession with youth? You need the right balance to be competitive. We've got a lot of promising youngsters and we just picked up another three during the trade period. We'll add a few more at the National Draft. A 28 year old Kennelly or a punt on a kid late in a shallow and compromised draft? Absolute no brainer.

I could not be any happier with the club at the moment.

If he plays like @@@@, I won't be happy.
