He will be getting a big cheer from me on Saturday that's for sure...
      I believe the exact opposite will happen. He will explode at AFL level ,grab the game by the horns and cement his place in the Swans forward line as the best thing we have had since Plugger or will have until Darling learns the trade. He has EVERYTHING to gain and nothing to lose by going "ape " in his first match. He will be the answer we have been waiting for and make the frustration of watching White and Everitt's ineptness a distant memory. It WILL happen! (Ihope)

        I think he'll bring the ball to ground and make a contest, something White and Dre don't do enough of - they're passengers to a contest more often than not. Quite often on the weekend when Maric would drop back to smash Reidy in a contest, Jesse would be 5m away still getting there. Walsh just needs to draw a defender away from Reidy like the Spang did last year.

        I think most of all though, we all want him to succeed to stick it up St Kilda some more.

          Great news for Tommy, even if he preempted it a bit by tweeting his mates. That got me wondering about how much leaking a club is allowed to do prior to the AFL's dodgy team news arrangement with Channel 7. Have the Swans violated that agreement with this news getting out early? I hope not btw because it's great publicity and a stupid rule. I was just wondering is all.

            Well, considering the strength of the Melbourne side, would it be much of a difference to playing resies? Might be better to keep him playing at AFL pace. With another tall forward to make a contest, he might do a bit better

                    Here's another. I do not think he has left the shores of the USofA yet. So it could be quite a while.

                      Great news, White can't do it, never goes in to fight for the ball.
                      Go the Irish, it will be a grand debut!

                        Are you serious?

                              Well done Tommy! A bit disappointed the selection committee didn't take a few more risks! Please bring Sammy out to CHF as Tommy plays really well at FF! Pity we didn't get to see Morton, Harry, Nipper and Tony!
