Nick Malceski and other departing Swans

[Mug Punter]

Wow. You really have it in for Dunkley Snr. I'm not sure where you get your sources about Josh bringing that sort of baggage to the club, but unless you know them personally then you really are speculating in a very nasty way. Josh was happy to come here but also wanted to stay in Melbourne near family, etc.
Andrew had a problem with Roos, not the club itself, and to call him a "vindictive and nasty old cretin" is WAY out of line.

My source, and it's a pretty good one, is that Andrew Dunkley is still extremely bitter and twisted towards the club and has pretty much wiped the club. His loss totally.

I could well be out of line, it certainly wouldn't be the first time and I've been known to jump to conclusions and exaggerate. I just can't believe how we passed up young Josh. He's turned out to be what we all thought he would be, a ready made senior footballer, and the two blokes we've got instead don't seem much chop to date

With Mal, it's fair enough to chase some decent retirements funds and maybe extend your career an extra year, and the future did look rosy for the Suns at the time, but you can't help but feel, with way things have turned out, he now wishes he was still a Swan......oh well, we sow our own pasture (to be put out to). Pity though.....

Getting rid of Vez was a bonus.

Taking the next bloke in the draft would've been a better bonus!!

To borrow a phrase, that would have been "delicious".

Players who have gone well at other clubs: Dempster, Schnieder, Jolly, Mumford, Biggs, Hall
Players who have been average: Everitt, Lamb, Membrey, Spangher (injuries holding him back)
Players who have been poor: Malceski, Jetta (early days still), Bird (see Jetta), White, Armstrong, Buchanan, Dick, Vez, L.Johnston, TDL, C.Heath

No no we can't have that! Leo may have taken that mark but if Monty hadn't kicked the last goal, it would have been for nought. I didn't like seeing him traded either, but he has gone on to big things as an assistant (post Brisbane) at GWS. I think he has to be given a dispensation.

Glad to see that I am not the only Mal lover here. He gave us a moment in time we will always remember (and others). I think he also thought he wanted to go into coaching and could work with this at GWS but found the club he went to was a long long way from the quality of Sydney. Must have been disheartening. Still played just like Nic Malceski last week, and that pleased me.

The good old Mummy Debate, I can sense Dermot Brereton commenting soon. Lets put together some facts.
Mummy was subbed out in a GF, the same game Pyke dominated.
Pyke was on Peanuts and up for contract renewal, Mummy was touted to GWS and was at the time second fiddle or near enough to out cheap as chips import.
They both, with Tippett, played 2013 before Mummy was after a new contract.
Tippett just come of a Prelim in 2012 where he nearly beat the Hawks at the MCG by himself, all the other clubs and experts are kidding themselves to think they wouldn't have given 3.2M over 4 yrs.
The 3.2M was front ended so he got 1.2M in his first year (he did miss half of it) then was on 2Mil over 3 yrs, quite reasonable for his calibre.
Mummy was offered north of 700K and people forget he missed over Half a year with Injury.
Oh by the way we got Buddy in 2014 the year Mummy Left, so the debate should be Mummy Vs Buddy not Mummy Vs Tippett.
We all know the answer to that one.
This week should be a good matchup, I remember when we beat them earlier this year, Demott was very keen to highlight Tippett taking Mummys money and was going to make a point of it but didn't get the chance as Tippet beat him well. If Tippo kicked straight that day, you would have said he gave Mummy a bath

That makes you think !

That makes you think !

Well, I'd probably find Bruce McAvaney a little less irritating.

We had to cut Spangher to clear space in our injury room.

I pit spranger in the rocca basket. Didnt want to come here and got out as soon as he could. No love from me.

nice stir.

Jolly moved to Collingwood because his missus wanted to move back to Melbourne. Collingwood never like to see their good players at other clubs so that's always how we view Collingwood. If Jolly had landed at Essendon or St Kilda would we be too bothered - I doubt it.

Collingwood supporters that I know don't like Jesse White at all. Jesse had great potential but never got anywhere near to fulfilling it. As Swans fans we all knew this but clearly Collingwood didn't.

Yes, Malceski went for the Money. He hasn't set the world on fire up there and has had some injuries. I can never forget his goals in the 2012 GF.
I think he'll take the money and retire gracefully at the end of his contract. I don't think he'll care whether he plays a lot of games. He has a GF medal and an AA

Yup. Pick the odd man out!!

[waswan]

Money wasn't the issue it was duration, we offered 2 yrs they offered 3 yrs. Cant blame us for not offering 3 for a guy on his 8th knee, cant blame him for taking 3yrs for the same reason
