    Very difficult to prove wrongful dismissal, esp in Qld jurisdiction.

      Fox Footy has reported this is what our recent delistings are getting up to: Local footy, winemaking - and a ‘Rat Pack’ return? What every delisted and retired AFL player has planned for 2021 | Fox Sports


      Zac Foot (delisted) – Casey Demons (VFL and East Coast Second-Tier Competition)Michael Knoll (delisted) – Norwood (SANFL)
      Jack Maibaum (delisted) – Coburg (VFL and East Coast Second-Tier Competition)
      Harry Reynolds (delisted) – Carlton (VFL and East Coast Second-Tier Competition)
      Brady Rowles (delisted) – TBC, but linked to Mildura (Sunraysia FNL)
      Ryley Stoddart (delisted) – Carlton (VFL and East Coast Second-Tier Competition)
      Elijah Taylor (delisted) – TBC, but has been linked to Sandringham (VFL and East Coast Second-Tier Competition)
      Jackson Thurlow (delisted) – TBC


      Carlton obviously keep a close eye on NSW because apart from previous Swans that have wound up there (Nic Newman and Jed Lamb, and now Reynolds and Stoddart, as well as Luke Parks from our Academy), they have also taken a raft of players from GWS (Caleb Marchbank, Will Setterfield, Matt Kennedy, Andrew Phillips, Liam Sumner and Lachie Plowman among those that come to mind).
      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)

        Outstanding 3 part story on recently departed Swans legend Dennis Carroll on club's website. Very interesting and really well written.

          As Welfare and Player Development Manager, ensuring that each newcomer was given the very best of support and guidance off the field so that they could maximise their on-field performance, you'd have to say he's done a wonderful job. Just a pity his last season in that role had to include Elijah Taylor.

            I know some people don't like football mixed with politics, but this tweet from Brandon Jack made me laugh.

            One day I got stuck on Nat Fyfe in a NAB cup game at Drummoyne oval and I knew straight away I wasn’t up to the job, so I called out to someone (maybe Reggie?) for a switch.
            So, yeah... I don’t know, maybe Michael McCormack will read this and he’ll understand. Or call Reg. Idk.

              And further in that thread, was a tweet from another former player, Tony Armstrong. He seems to be doing well for himself, as he's now hosting Offsiders on the ABC.

              And if we can include academy players as past players, Michael Dickson played for Seattle in the NFL wildcard round. He was possibly Seattle's best player? But of course, if a punter is one of your best, that is a comment on how poorly the offense played.

                Missed that game but I note there was a fair bit of punting going on. Seems Russell Wilson didn't get much of a look in.
                I'm a Browns tragic. In a good place at the moment.
                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.

                  I suspect that you were both euphoric and in a state of disbelief, during the first quarter. Something that many long time Swans fans can relate to.

                    He's a tops bloke. Miss him and Lewie Jetta. Together they were trouble!!
                    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.

                      Yet with the disservice of history on my side stretching back to 1995 at no stage did I recline into my couch thinking 'We've got this.'

                      Very similar to the Swans' drought, hopefully the Browns can follow a similar trajectory from here. And yes, that first quarter was pure magic, and how fitting that the Steelers were the opponent.

                          Yes, when they went 28-0 up, commentator Chris Collinsworth made me chuckle, when he said something like, "And the funny thing is, I guarantee that no Browns fan will be thinking that it's all over".

                            And he was right! It's all gone pear shaped so many times before. Too many to count. It ended up being the highlight so far of my 26 year allegiance.
                            Good luck with your Saints btw.

                            Yokaii Footy is the show being referred to here I think. Big fan of Tony Armstrong. A natural presenter, very charismatic. I seem to recall he was known for his non-mainstream taste in music when a Swan.

                                "Yokayi" rather than Yokaii, it was mentioned in this thread back in July.
