Wish I had the choice to play AFL or be a doctor.

 

[Burzum]

Best of luck to him.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Best of luck to him.

This.

It's a wake up call to Eagles fans. A lot should feel ashamed at the way he was targeted.

There are lessons we can learn from this as fans.

 

[Dagger]

What a dick

 

[WCEbrody]

Wasn't even a big Swift fan but still you gotta feel for the guy.

 

[bombermick]

Good choice. His AFL career has stalled and better to get into his medicine studies before he gets much older.

WCE have had a few good students, including Cousins bizarrely.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Good luck to the lad. I am sure he will be a great success in the medical field.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Who would bother with the slog and bullshit associated with an AFL career when you could forge a career in medicine?

Congratulations on making a very smart decision Tom.

I hope you still get out and have a kick in the WAFL.

And thus ends the era of West Cooast fans dreaming up ridiculous Swift to Brisbane trade scenarios based on Voss anecdotally thinking he was a good player at age 16.

*sniff*

Will take a wild guess & say I reckon the parents are happy

 

[Silent Alarm]

What a hack. You wouldn't want to get a blood test from the prick – straight into your bone marrow it'd go.

Gotta feel for the guy? Isn't he just pursuing his dream?

 

[Kaboodleer]

Can't blame him - got jeered by everyone every time he got near it at the WAFL GF. To be blunt I don't think he was ever going to be that great. If his heart wasn't in it I'm glad he's made the tough choice to walk away. Best of luck.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Good luck to swifty!!

Assuming he has some skill in the brains department - it is the smart decision to make.

I just hope he is more accurate with a scalpel than he is a footy

 

[WCEbrody]

Just the shit he copped from a lot of West Coast supporters over the years was pretty disgusting, even in the WAFL grand final he was getting jeered everytime he touched the ball.

 

[juzzo]

pathetic trolls are pathetic.

 

[ep2018]

He's too busy saving the world.

 

[jerry springer]

good on the kid.

 

[jko'neal]

He's made the right choice.

Aaaah yup. Yeah I always feel guilty about that too.

 

[the harry]

pathetic trolls are pathetic.

Some of the Eagles fans treated him worse. I expect there are some who are very happy about this.

 

[le dominateur]

Big blow to the Eagles, one of their best players.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Big blow to the Eagles, one of their best players.

Stay classy.

The back end of 2010 he showed something, not sure why but hasn't shown it since. Guess the swift v Stevens debate is well and truly over!
