Teach me for speed reading....
Full credit to MARK in TIME for calling the McVeigh for Captain way back in the full swing of the McHack era of this Board. Even though I defended him, not even I thought he would a) be captain and b) a Premiership Captain at that in 2009.
Ah, I love it when I'm right.
Macca has surprised me too though. Reading down that thread I thought he would get it partially due to a lack of other viable options.

In all honestly, he has deserved his captaincy amongst a crowd of stellar leaders and last year he was certainly a finer player becasue of it. Sitting in the stands at the granny at half time he was my Norm Smith medalist.
On topic, great work all-round in the re-signing of Kennedy. He's been so good since his move. In all his interviews he always reels off a cheesy line about wanting to repay the Swans faith in him, but really we made no sacrifice in acquiring him and everything since then has been a dream. We've got a premiership, he's got a premiership medal and really either one wouldn't have come without the other.
