    That and insurance against our inability to trade in decent defenders, thanks to the Gillon/Eddie show.....

      He is a Swans Premiership player. Great news.

        Deservedly finishes a one club man due to his ability week in week out to contain a key forward

          I wonder if the length of the contract (3 years instead of 2) might mean that he is earning less per year as a trade off for the longer deal?

          Also I'm not so sure that next year will be Ted's last...he has been extremely consistent in the last few seasons in terms of games played which means his body is holding up well and his form has been fine...if he's getting beaten on the lead it's generally because the ball is coming in without enough pressure which can happen to every defender in the comp (look at Rance Friday night on Kennedy). If Reid ends up becoming a permanent KPD which I believe he should then Ted could be a very handy third defender, similar to Scarlett in his last couple of seasons, or Fletcher at the bombers/Glass at the eagles.

            So long as he doesn't spoil the ball into the opposition goal square on grand final day (when it was an easy mark), I'm ok with it.
            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.

              But, odd brain fart aside, his disposals, especially kicking can be sublime, moreso when given that extra half a second to look for a teammate. There was one game this season, Geelong?, where he was nailing his kicks over and over again. It made me sit up and take notice.

                Good on Reg. We might wince now and then but he generally gets the job done.
                He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                  Top news. Aside from being stupidly underrated, he is amazingly durable. Hardly missed a game in yonks.
                  He ate more cheese, than time allowed

                    Three years for Grundy, but they were only willing to offer Mal two. Did they know something about Mal's knees, or is Grundy just that much cheaper?

                      Also might be because Reg is a year younger now than Eski was this time last year.

                        I reckon Reg has been much more reliable in the last 2 seasons.

                        He was interviewed on the morning show on SEN today. After the interview it was agreed that all clubs would kill for a Heath Grundy. Supporters from other clubs can't work out how Swans supporters can knock him. They say he is gun defender.

                          Based on what you've seen this year from both players I'm surprised you even need to ask that question.

                            I think Eski was being replaced by players such as Macca and Jetta moving more and more into the backline

                            Grundy was an imperative signing over and above Eski

                            So far I am really enjoying our transitions out of defence and it looks a lot better then 2014

                              Speaking of contracts did anyone see the footy show last night in regards to Hanners ? Apparently Swans have put an offer in front of him , 6 years totalling 4-5 million. ( according to Damian Barrett)

                                I love the irony in this given that it was Barrett who pretty much said Hannebery was coming back to Victoria for certain...did he admit to being wrong?
