Always had a massive soft spot for the man. Can now openly admit it after his efforts in the last month. I love you Myke!

In that shot he is as big as Jacko, and that is big. His agility and strength are great assets which helps him at the centre bounces, and he has second efforts. Gee if we can keep that sort of centre clearance work going up to GF day, then we are in for some exciting plays.
Just to keep it real, if LRT played the same game he wouldnt get as much credit.
Pyke was good for his stage of development, but still no world beater
^ disagree. Convert or not, Pyke played a good game. Hard to split him and Mummy yesterday , maybe slight edge to Mummy with his work in close. Pyke got more super coach points however. Kicked a goal any player on our list would be proud of, nearly kicked another, took a strong grab against the best ( apart from Ted) full bak in the league. Did some very nice taps, ( at least one led to directly to a swans goal) and helped to nullify the most dangerous ruck duo in the comp. if LRT did all that he would be praised equally, if not more.
Crazy suggestion. Poor Seabs. It's hardly time to play around with the ruck combo when it's working so well, just to have our 3rd or probably even 4th choice ruckman "fresh", when the thing Pykey needs most is game time, and Mummy's just getting back to fitness. Seaby's had a couple of senior games this season and did OK, but not great, and then apart from anything else, he's injured.
Superman still wears Brett Kirk Pyjamas
Not sure about that. Pyke has had statistically better games, but the real feature was the quality of his hitouts, and the defensive job he, along with Mummy, did on Cox and NicNat. That's where most of the credit is coming from, and I daresay if LRT had been in Pyke's place, he'd be getting a pretty big rap as well.
Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!
or after that interview do we need the Irish anthem? I think Mighty Mike has been spending too much time with Tadhg!
Longmire quote on Pyke from Swans website:
"as long as he keeps performing, it's going to be pretty hard to put him out of the team"
Pykey is romping in so far on the Unsung Hero voting. He must have been at home on the net all day!

Today's a draft of your epitaph
I see what you mean he has 1125 votes and the nearest to him is 197. But he deserves it anyway he is a wonderful ruckman. I am so impressed with his ability to kick goals from anywhere. He not only takes the big grabs a big bloke should he takes the sliding on the ground mark a big guy shouldn't take. I think he could end up the best International player since Jim Stynes. I love the big guy and love especially his second efforts and his wonderful tap work. He and Mummy are the best combo in the AFL bar none!!!!
