Open Mike - Tuesday 27 June

I turned it off half way through, got sick of Sheean going over the dying part of the story over and over. I wanted to hear about his football journey and how that has helped him with his personal tragedy

Too soon IMO. This sort of interview should be happening in 5 years and hes an established player (or not).

I loved it and I think the fact that he's a youngster still in the first steps of his AFL journey was what made it really compelling for me. And a welcome change from the chats with the stars of yesteryear.

+1 He is a fine brave, young man and I think will be a great Swans player in a few years. But the questions were poor.

I agree and the conversation did become a bit repetitive. I would have liked to hear about when Longmire came down to speak to the family.

It was interesting hearing how he was admitted to hospital with dehydration during his first week of training. Shows how much he was pushing himself.

Not one of Mike's best efforts. I would also have liked to hear about Longmire's visit, how they felt about Sydney at the time and how he feels now.

Brave story and very touching. His younger brother Jai is also a promising footballer too playing first team school as a year 10 student, will be interesting to see if you also joins the Sandringham TAC program.

On a pure football level I think Olly will be very very good. Not sure if it is my imagination but watching him out there last week I am sure he has bulked up quite a bit the last couple of months, a extra pre-season or two and he'll be flying. Really glad we got him tied down for an extra couple of years, he just needs to meet a nice Sydney girl now and settle down here.

Pat Rafter is really looking after him up here, more of a family connection than a Swans one.

Also nice to hear Dennis Carroll get a mention too. Sounds like the Swans are cognisant about looking after the youngsters.

I agree. It was almost cringe worthy the way Mike tried to squeeze every tear out of it.
