Past Tyrone Leonardis - delisted 2017

[S120]

I'm not sure he'll cop good-hearted ribbing directly for the Goodes stuff (might be a little close to the bone for some of the older guys who have known Goodes for so long) but he'll surely cop s**t for being sexytyrone97. That's heinously cringeworthy even for an 18 year old.

Here's our first video of him. Seems a good kid, looked as if he was wincing in anticipation of a question re Goodesy. Let's get behind him

Your fine mate but the journalism isn't!

Part of me thought I was going to struggle to get behind him after the Goodesy saga, but not any more! Really hoping he makes it for the red and white now. Cheers for sharing the article.

A Hawks fan waynkar on the MB was saying if it had been a Hawthorn rookie Liking obnoxious posts about one of their indigenous stars, it would have been all over the papers for days, but apparently because it was a "COLA" (gee, hadn't heard that one for a while) the media wasn't interested.

Does their paranoid arrogance know no bounds?

Strange thing is it was all over the papers for days.

Not sure what his point is.

Well I called it paranoid arrogance but maybe it was arrogant paranoia.

Or both.

We are talking about a Hawks fan, after all. Always trying to steer every discussion on the MB onto how they've won three flags in a row.

And then, without a hint of self-awareness that I can detect, turning round and accusing Swans fans of always trying to make the discussion about us.

Well phuque 'em.

The pain of 2014 is great, but the ecstasy of 2012 is greater.

I don't get nervous when I see Reg put it on the boot. I do when Rampe, Richards, Laids (Unless it's a shot on goal), Jones & Reid do. He's a much better footballer than he's given credit for.

I agree. Reg is quite ok. It is just when he Grundy's up he really does a Grundy and it looks Grundtastically awful.

Anyway back to the point. This is a feel good story. As with all feel good stories it pulls the heart strings. All I hope is young Leonardis plays good footy for the Swans.

 

[scaryness]

Would have just played his last game. The end of an era now. Club will never be as sexy again

SexySinkers? Someone needs to set that up pronto...

 

[mtooler]

Yeah think hes goneski!

 

[swansfan51]

Suffering a real crisis in halfback options, without @sexytyrone97 we would be down to only Newman, Jones, Smith, Marsh, Rampe, Rohan, Cunningham, Foote and whoever the failed midfielders end up being

Well it could have been worse, we could have ended up with Dunkley

Yeah but we didn't meet the untried 18 year old's stipulations so pick 50-whatever will do instead

Dunkley was about as good this year as Leonardis.

After last season I thought we made a real blunder passing on Dunkley.

Hindsight eh...

We did make a blunder. Will be a great 12 year player for them. Would pick him up in a trade for any in our twos, bar Dawson.

We did.

Hard to play well (or at all) when you destroy your shoulder and require reconstructive surgery.

 

[ashep]

He'd be depth for us at best. Before the emergence of Hewett & Hayward, Dawson banging down the door and Papley tearing it up in his stints in the middle, I would have had Dunkley in our best 22.

Will be a good player and would be nice to have on the list but we won't miss him.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Re: Dunkley, he had a chance to join us and chose not to. I don't care how good or not he is/was/could be, if you don't want to commit 110% then I don't want you pulling on the jumper. He's a dog & won a premiership with them. I'd call that a win to him. Good on him.

Actually he did nominate us but correct, his heart was in Victoria. We helped him out because that's the sort of club we are!

Hayward >>> Dunkley
Florent >> Dunkley

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Maybe re Hayburner. Not seen O produce enough.

This. Great comparison actually.
