[SilentHunter_]

Commiserations to you mate. You're the heart and soul of this football club atm and one of our all time legends. Hold your head up high. How he isn't Captain is beyond me. Better than McPointy that's for sure in terms of leadership.

 

[False]

He should be on Buddy's contract. Never leave us! Most underrated player in the AFL by far.

 

[The Swans Blog]

Make him Captain! It's time to step down McHack or Kieran OnlyLeftFoot.

 

[Dangas]

Captain.

 

[dopesayo]

Best player in the game.

 

[Quantum1234]

#robbedofthenormsmith

 

[Punts]

Carries then again

******* poor bloke

 

[Membling]

Nextminnit his team mates put in

 

[Dangas]

Make him Captain! It's time to step down McHack or Kieran OnlyLeftFoot.

Jack tried hard.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

BOG today. Robbed of the Norm Smith.

 

[SBYM]

* he were massive.

Just huge.

 

[Shiv]

<3

 

[The King!]

Glad he didnt win the norm in a loss

But * me every time people say hanner parker etc are our best i call bullshit and today shows why

 

[Sleutheren]

I know I'm probably not welcome but I just wanted to say that I also thought Kennedy was best on today. He is a beast of a player and works as hard as anyone who stepped on an oval. Absolute champion.

 

[scaryness]

If he only wins one flag with us it will be a bigger waste of talent than Buddy imo.

 

[Hawkthorn33]

He is a beast, I cry every time I see him play in red and white.

 

[Number37]

He is a beast, I cry every time I see him play in red and white.

So does he when he racks up BOG in a beaten GF side.

 

[Membling]

Beastly game.

Needs support

 

[Jay-Z]

What a gun. Was best on by a mile. Commiserations Swannies

 

[Olian]

Killed it and never stopped. Can't ask anymore of himself.

 

[Acinath]

Love the bloke, won't find a tougher footballer who gives everything for his club. Felt so bad for him today

 

[AFDogs]

Absolute ******* champion. Put the fear of God into me today and was genuinely cursing everytime he got the footy. Gun. Gun, Gun.

 

[doug85]

Easily BOG.

Absolute joke he didn't get the NS medal.

 

[Sixpence]

I thought he was best on ground too.

 

[HairyO]

#robbedofthenormsmith

Boyd was best in my view but Kennedy had a huge game. Would have had all max votes had Sydney won.

Must know what Judd's shoulders feel like having carried Sydney.
