You are right - it was Jayson Daniels. He did go back to the Saints after his stint with us. I'd forgotten that.My opinion is objective truth in its purest formComment

Don’t forget Paul Morwood (a reverse Daniels) - & Foschini really only wanted out because he didn’t want to go to Sydney.I think Troy Gray was the other way round? Started with us, went to the Saints? He was a bit of a tease. Occasionally showed glimpses of something really good but never really produced.
Glad someone else mentioned Jayson "Jack" Daniels - a solid soldier who gave his all. But having him and Andrew Dunkley in the same backline was heart-in-mouth stuff.
Of course, there was the most important of all in some ways - Silvio Foschini. Basically responsible for destroying the VFL's zoning system as a result of his desire to leave the Swans and go to the Saints.
David Windbanks, Peter Melesso, David Strooper, Robbie Neill, Fred Campbell and Trent Dennis-Lane all headed to the Saints from Sydney
We did get John Favier and Aldo Dipetta though

Spotted by someone other than me: James Rose (footballer) - Wikipedia
I'd noticed his inability to stay in position, but I hadn't realised he was so short.Comment

Yes, that's pretty short, even for a small forward.Spotted by someone other than me: James Rose (footballer) - Wikipedia

I had the great misfortune, and its entirely my fault, of accidently turning on footy classified last night when I couldnt get to sleep.
And there was Eddie MacGuire suggesting that the pies do not have to go after a power forward like Daniher or Jeremy Cameron, because they recruited Darcy Cameron from Sydney for that role.
No pressure Darcy, but the Pies premiership hopes are riding on you.Comment

He could have been anything.
Will never forget that day at the footy. What started out as pure joy to see AJ back on the ground turned into a nightmare, and we didn't know it at the time but that game would be the end of two premiership players careers.Comment

Heartbreaking for him and all of us who adored him and wanted so many more games from him.
Let's hope that, one day, having the last possession of the game in the 2012 Premiership is what he will remember most about his career.Comment

It's probably the saddest story I've witnessed in all my years as a Swans fan. I too hope that in 20 years time he'll be able to focus more on the way he overcame his adversities to make it back, rather than the horrendous end to his playing career.Last edited by Ruck'n'Roll; 27 May 2020, 04:02 PM.Comment

I'm glad that he at least made it, and showed us all that he wasn't delusional, when he successfully returned to the field against Collingwood. I think it would have been even sadder if the last injury had happened in training or even in a NEAFL match rather than during a joyous victory at AFL level. To some degree it vindicated his years of perseverance notwithstanding what happened a week later. A special guy who got to live his dreams more than most despite the so sad ending.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)
