Good player for us. Played in that famous qualifying final v port adelaide in 2003. Was on list in 2005 but was a bit past it IIRC. Pity he didn't play in the flag team.Comment

I seem to remember Nick's kicking 7 goals for us one day. I think it was in between Plugger going (for the 1st time) and Hall arriving.Comment

Nicksy is part of the 2005 "bloods culture". That "attitude" (if you will) is highly prized out there in the bigger footy world.
Having your team play with that "attitude" and passion for what they are doing is what every team wants.
To have your coach die in such sudden and tragic circumstances, then the "camp" they organise to help you heal from that trauma backfires... there's a lot of broken kids who need fixing.
I believe Nicksy can help that broken.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.Comment

Yes, when I heard that I felt a pang of vicarious responsibility, as if some residual bad luck from being a former Swan was the cause of it.Comment

It will be fascinating watching how Matthew summons the troops.Comment

Kurt Tippett has moved back to the Gold Coast with his partner and nine-month-old son to take up a job. He is also helping coach local junior footy players in an off-season training camp.
So I guess we won’t be seeing young Tippett in the Swans Academy.

I just read this on Wikipedia about Jesse White. I knew the first bit (played in SANFL Glenelg’s grand final win) but I didn’t know the rest (Glenelg BnF winner + announced retirement). Good way to go out!
‘In 2019, Jesse won the SANFL premiership and the Glenelg Football Club J H Eller Best and Fairest award and announced his retirement.’
This is what @Blash1975 had to say on Twitter:
‘So proud of Jesse, much maligned throughout his career, he had a fantastic season, he put our club on his shoulders in the finals. I wish he’d go again but what better way to go out. He’s part of Bay folklore now. Best wishes in retirement.’
Hey, we develop our boys well at the Swans!
Wonder if he will stay living in Adelaide. He was born in Melbourne, grew up in the Gold Coast, drafted by the Swans so lived in Sydney, moved to Melbourne to play for Collingwood, then moved to Adelaide to play for Glenelg. Hard to say where Jesse’s ‘home’ is!Comment

Article about Sam Murray looking for another chance after his drug suspension: 'Driven' former Pie desperate for another chance after drug ban - AFL.com.au. We're not listed among the clubs supposedly interested, which is not surprising.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)Comment

JORDAN FOOTE23, Eagles
If any club is looking for a player ready made to step into an AFL side they would do well with Jordan Foote.
The former Sydney Swans was dynmaic in his first SANFL season at Woodville-West Torrens, averaging 24.7 disposals per game at 84 per cent efficiency.
Foote was also No. 1 in the league for inside 50s (5.8 per game) and second in tackles (6) while also winning almost five clearances each match.
It was no surprise he took out the Eagles' club champion award.
He is physically capable and keen on another shot at the AFL after six appearances on the Swans across four seasons.
A torn ligament in his foot derailed his 2018 campaign and he was delisted.Comment
