Daniel O'Keefe

I was disappointed that the Swans didn't draft Guy O'Keefe last year. Not because I knew the first thing about him as a player, but because it would have been fun to have ROK, DOK and GOK on the list.

But they have a chance to redeem themselves this year with a highly touted young South Australian by the name of Rhys O'Keefe. Saw a wee bit of him in the televised NSW vs SA U18 game and he's a hard running, tallish mid come flanker. ROK2 would certainly confuse things a bit. And given that the existing ROK still goes by the name of Pebbles (I've heard team mates refer to him as that, not just supporters), this one might have to get a nickname like Shingle or Gravel!!

You didn't answer the most important question - are they related? (Judging from the fact he is from SA, and the other OK's are from VIC - probably not)

As well as O'Keefe there was a youngster in the SA team with the last name 'Hall'. Could be interesting if we got him too!

Yes! That should be the new recruiting strategy, pick players with the same surnames. Now where do we find another Roberts-Thomson...

We could grab Jeff White and have two J Whites on the team....
