Was a great celebration of life for the great man , with about 300 in attendance with speeches by former swans Peter Bedford and Gary Brice who himself is having a few health battles and many more former Bloods , a sad but great day
Did South have to fly Stretch and one or two other players up to Collingullie every week for a season to get Colin Hounsell’s clearance?
 
Before the match today Ben Matthews, Rhyce Shaw and Nick Malceski were walking around the boundary and kicking the footy with their kids before the Swans ran out, as recent inductees into the Swans hall of fame. Nick is still a very good looking rooster and Rhyces boys are already better kicks than their old man, shame Gold Coast academy will prob have first dibs. All of them embraced and chatted to Brett Kirk and Jarrod McVeigh (and Mark McVeigh) when they came out on the field with the rest of the coaching panel and high fived Jarrod Crouch who was over the fence in the grandstand. Good to see the love of the boys from that wonderful era.

One of the best blokes , was treated like shit at South , so went to North and won a flag. Came back and was set up by Graig Kimberley in a Just Jeans store in Malvern
Always regarded and still does call himself a Swan
Think he eventually got shitty with Ian Stewart who wanted him to retire. Went to Fitzroy briefly maybe to get to 300 or something like that IIRC.

7 years today since AJ's ill fated comeback , one of the saddest things ive seen on the footy field
Especially after such a high the weekend before for him. What a shame we never got to see the 200+ game career that his talent and early performance at the top level suggested was on the cards.
