    Macca has really grown into the Captains role. 2-3 years ago i'd have been happy to see him gone but I was wrong.............again!

        They showed this to the punters on Monday night at the guernsey presentation dinner ('cause we're special premiers, the AFL said we can see it first.)

        The room was a collective goosebump.

        Awesome.
        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
        Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                Three years ago McVeigh might not have been the player he is today, but would you really have been happy to see him let go? We had plenty of spuds on our list back then who I would have released before McVeigh.

                        Yep. He seemed to float around outside the packs and never contributed very much. I used to get angry watching him do nothing and would have been very happy to see him go. At least some of the "Hacks" had a crack. BUT I really enjoyed his footy last year.

                                        Well we knew he was great just the greater football community couldn't see it.

                                            I've just watched Macca's captain's address at the Club function last Monday, which is now up on the Swans' website.

                                            Wow! is all I can say. Just wow!

                                                Very proud to have him as our skipper.

                                                Here's the link to his speech.

                                                    But what's with putting Lindsay Gilbee on a chair in an empty warehouse? Somebody not paid the ransom?
                                                    I liked that. It was a pretty moving narration from him too. Very well put together.

                                                        We have a lot to be proud of at the Swans, but we have an outstanding Captain who is our number one spearhead, and is representing us with style. Both speeches are outstanding.

                                                        I am heartily sorry I wanted him removed from the club some years ago. I apologise.

                                                        He is a good man, he is a damned good AFL/Swans representative, I am proud to have him as our Captain (number one) and he is all ours.
