    Willo and the kids

    Does anyone know who the indigenous kids were who were embraced by Willo at the end of the game?
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

    He might. He is close friends with Darryn and Darryn's brother is/was the shift supervisor of the fellows who were down the mine.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    True answer? I never know when to take people seriously on here since the demise of the "rolleyes".

    Thanks for that - so what does the AFL uncle-nephew rule look like? Surely 300 games qualifies them for the Swans?

    I love the story that just coz dad is playing his 300th doesn't mean his girls aren't going to wear a dress - I'm glad someone like Willo has a household as girly as mine.

    "It was just the result we all wanted," he said as he cuddled daughters Arabella and Phoebe and handed out lollies to his young nephews, John, Beau and Jackson.
    Weren't there only two of them?
