Oh, I agree. But that saga is in the past, it’s the flow on effect that now pisses me off. It’s like being the eldest in the family where you can’t do anything you want but over time, the youngest gets away with everything!
Liking that post isn't enough. LOVING this photo!!
well he has hung around, he's not down here. Not sure how the permission to train stuff works. It can't be a bad thing, it at least shows relationships are still positive.
Crazy if we didn't, so much more upside than most rookie picks.

Well considering he has been delisted, its safe to say it may be time for a little rush
I’d say he’d be pretty keen to get back into the senior team. Hopefully he has a full pre season and is raring to go. I can’t imagine a swans fan not wanting to see him play seniors again.
The motivating factor of coming back after pretty much 5 years would be motivating enough...being rookied can only improve on that! It’s that ‘show why we should offer you a full contract in 2019’ statement.
Well as harsh as it sounds, its something he and the club need to discuss going forward. As it stands he is a premiership player and will always be remembered as one, however he is no longer an AFL player. If he is to take a spot on the list, there is an expectation that he can play or we are just wasting a spot that could be better utilised. I want him to return, he was an extremely promising player and a vital cog in our premiership, however if its unlikley or unrealistic that he can he play consistant senior footy, then unfortunately his career as a player has ended with us. Again it sounds harsh however the we are in the business to win flags, not make fairytales
I can't imagine the club would waste their time and money on a rookie spot for him if they didn't think there was a pretty good chance of him getting back.
I don’t think anyone’s saying he shouldn’t have to earn his spot. Im keen now to see if he’s still got what it takes, now that he’s had a full pre season, like everyone else.
Yes, the key words are ‘full pre season’. He wouldn’t have had that yet. All he’s really had is rehab, modified and restricted training, more higher intensity training, restricted and modified playing time and now the most important...rest! Combined with ‘rest’, a massive pre season is what it’ll be all about and if he can handle that, then why shouldn’t he be a chance next year if his form warrants it? He’s done extremely well in the past 12 months to even set foot on the playing field and he’ll need that steely determination to get back that next AFL game he was born to play! Fingers crossed
If we're picking the side 4 months out before the list is even finalised and before most players have even started training, then we deserve to go 0-6 again
