    I'm hoping for a miracle...Swannies call up Braddy for one last game against his old mob on Saturday. Shame there does not seem any room for sentiment in footy anymore

    Miss you Braddy!
    Swannies for life!

      Riverina scout?
      We need a 21 gun salute to farewell him.
      I keep hoping it's not true.

        Really sad end to his career as he could of offered us a lot if his body had of been right. The one lasting memory will be that torpedo- I was sitting right in line behind the goals and from the second it left his boot I knew it was through- one of the most wonderful kicks you would ever wish to see.
        "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

            Except he can't play because of injury.
            In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.

              He can't even run! You may as well give plugger a game!

                  He doesn't need to run! Just sit him in the goal square and bomb it in to him - five arms will mark everything in his general vicinity and just needs to kick it a few metres. Bradshaw to kick 10 in his farewell match!

                      Yes, the official silence over this has been deafening.

                      If true, and I don't believe the OP was attempting to deceive with his post, I would have expected it would be fitting an announcement would be made this week given we are playing his old side. I guess we may know more by this afternoon, but if not, I still hold hope.

                        The story - mostly about Sam Reid, just a brief comment on Bradshaw:



                        Longmire remains cautiously optimistic Bradshaw will play again, despite former coach Paul Roos's suggestion this week his season was over.
                        If Bradshaw never plays again, Healy believes the Swans could look to the open market in trade week, but disgraced former Coleman medallist Brendan Fevola would not be on the shopping list.


                        We'll see! Like others, I don't doubt the original forum post, but there's still nothing official.

                          John has just told the media Daniel Bradshaw has taken time off from the club to consider his future. John says Daniel is not sure if he wants to go through another rehab after this latest op. More to follow on

                          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                            Not quite on this thread, but, with the conjunction of the Reid and Bradshaw names I wonder where Reid's marks are compared with where Bradshaw held his ground.

                            It seems to me that Reid is getting far too far up the ground. In that tape of Bradshaw's mighty kick, see how he runs and doubles back, and runs again but is always around the 50 m line. IMHO, Reid would have led, and led, and led and would have been well outside the range.

                            Hence the concerns about our STRUCTURE in another thread, and how important Bradshaw would have been this year.

                              How bizarre really. Obviously John and Braddy don't talk much. How can just so recently John say that he is cautiously optimistic of D-Bra returning while Braddy is telling other people he is done and dusted? Weird.
