    If RWO "wisdom" held sway on All Things Swans , we probably wouldn't have won That Big Shiny Cup.
    You think so!!!!
    No surely not.

      I reckon he'll give it one more year, as long as his knee is ok.
      Today's a draft of your epitaph

        Jude has been a fantastic player for us - I hope he takes Kirk's spot at Channel 7 as there is a vacancy - we need to get games into Rohan, Lamb and Mitchell

            Having read a lot of the threads on here for quite a while. Not only would we not have won it, we would not have tried! Why? Because we should play 'young kids' because we were not good enough to win in 2012 and were 'ruining' young players careers by keeping them in the neafl.

            Funny how all that stuff is quiet now.

            Instead we now have 'lets trade' one our kpp coz we have so much untapped defensive talent in the wings. It is staggering

As a 300-plus gamer he is a life member at the big house so could Jude be set to become the face of AFL in Sydney (as a media figurehead/presenter/commentator)?
                It would be a brilliant appointment if they did.

                He has great communication skills and is really approachable. I could not think of anyone better for the role.

                The amount of work he could do going around visiting schools would make a huge difference to recruiting especially in the Under 10 age groups and Auskick. Find an ailing Junior Footy Club and you will find they have a very poor Auskick participation level and few numbers in the Under 10 and below age groups.

                His first job could be to do the "Cup Tour".
                Nothing like a good light bulb moment.
