Come on mate, the norm smith is for best on ground not crap player who miraculously plays well in the gf, thats the lrt award

Actually, if the "crap player who miraculously plays well in the gf" is best on ground, that's exactly who the Norm Smith is for. What they do outside the GF is irrelevant.

Teddy was a great pick up. He is an important player for the Swans.

We are quite happy with that trade as well. Teddy is a good player who is a hard worker and fits in at Sydney and plays a position that Sydney needed but Dempsey could be a better player and is what Essendon needed. I think both teams were winners in that trade. The difference between Teddy this year and Teddy last year is not huge. Teddy is a cog in a machine. When all the other parts around him are better then he works better. Anyway good luck to him, Hopefully he can play 100 games for u guys and one day u might have some little teddys runnin around for the swans

It was certainly interesting watching Teddy relish the KPP role he was given in the GF when LRT lost touch with Hansen. Good signs.

It was revealed that right after Ted Richards kicked the ball OOBOTF, he got concussed! no wonder he looked hazy and dazed out. A true blood player... Teddy says he can't remember the last moments of the GF. It's better off to not remember!

 

[SWANNIES RULE]

That trade between us and Essendon that saw us get Teddy was one of those trades where both team benefited. But it is hard to believe he couldn't get a regular spot in the Essendon side.

^hmm... very true. He played like 23 games in 4 seasons??? or something like that.

However, he played 20+ games for us this season! Very surprising.

I think he fitted your game plan with numbers behind the ball to help him out. He was also fitter this year.
