Really wish we could give him a farewell game but with Top 4 in the balance it looks very unlikely.

Season 2016 to be Ted?s last
Sad but he has nothing left to prove.
A true champion of the game.
And from the few times I have met Ted, he has been a really cool guy, happy to chat, smile and laugh with fans."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

Well done Ted. How could anyone forget his magnificent efforts in the 2012 GF playing with a bunged-up foot and keep a true champion reasonably quiet. Superb contributor to this club.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

He's a Swans premiership champ. IMO, a premiership we would not of won without him.
I played golf with one of the Swans player welfare managers the other day, he told me Ted was the nicest, and most balanced person, at the club.
Without doubt, he's been one of the best trades this club has made in recent history.
Great career Teddy well played.....Who knows, it may still have another highlight to come.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

For sure, a fantastic trade, 33 games over 4 seasons with Essendon, then 228 games (so far) over 11 seasons with us.
He left nothing in the shed, a great career.Comment

????????????????????
Teddy has been one of my favorite players since he joined.
A genuine shame his last season has been marred by injury
Wonder if we could get a last few Richards' Reports from him before seasons end?Chillin' with the strange QuarksComment

Probably would've been delisted at the end of 2010 if LRT hadn't got injured. He was struggling for form and I remember watching a reserves match where he just looked totally shot. Unbelievable effort for him to turn it around from there and play the best footy of his career.
Terrific last term in the 2012 GF on one leg after Buddy looked like taking the game away from us.Bloods

The Age reporting that he kept Buddy goalless in the 2012 GF. Watched a different game to the one I was at.Bloods

Teddy had me when he was nearly killed by that collision with Fevola in a Carlton game at Etihad. I figured anyone who gets taken off the field coughing up blood would probably go alright with our bloods ethos. What a sterling contribution he's made.....Comment

From the press conference: "Without embarrassing him, I did keep Bud goalless once in 2012." I assume he means the round 5 win? I guess some journo wrote up their story on the run without reviewing the games...
Sad, even when you know it's coming. What a great pick-up and club man he has been. Amazing to think he was almost gone in 2010 and turned it around.

Agree, and although I've never watched a replay of it, from memory he damn near won us the 06 GF he was superb in that game, and had he not been knocked out he may well have won it for us.
Great career and is well and truly entitled to strut around the place wearing the name Super Ted.Comment

Ted went into the 2012 GF with a bung foot (or was it ankle?). I'd asked him about it in the lead-up week and he said "no it's fine" but at the celebration GF dinner he was hobbling badly and I accused him "you lied to me" and he replied "I lied to everyone. We couldn't let the info get out. But it worked out okay on the day." And he has the Premiership medal to prove he was right.
The nicest, most honest, funniest of all Swans players. I also recall him sitting at our Trivia table when he'd been dropped to reserves. I asked him how it felt and he replied "They try to do it nicely. And they say that it's just to regain form. But it still rips your heart out."Comment

Great bloke, who has made his contribution to the club not only on the field but in what it is. I'm sorry to see him go, although I think it's the right decision, and hope he can make a further contribution on the field before he heads off into the sunset.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)Comment

People forget that he won the Golden First Award. The most prestigious award in modern football history. Bound to get a mention on Bounce on Sunday night. Can't believe it wasn't mentioned in his presser.Comment
