    I love him as a player, and I met him once at a function and had a nice long chat and he was funny and charming. But as an interviewee on TV I'm not sure he's the most exciting Swan.

    Mind you, he'll have his work cut out being duller than Chris Judd was this week!

    I see that Walls and Mike still haven't seen the Swans play much this year, and in particular, haven't twigged onto just how well McVeigh is going this year. Healy led into his comments on the Swans by talking about just what a good season McVeigh was having, to which the other two immediately jumped in and said "yes well, Sydney have half a dozen McVeighs don't they, blokes who just go about their business with no drama. And aren't Moore and Jack fitting in nicely". Quickly change the subject to Essendon.

    I'm not sure they gave Judd much to work with, they seemed to want to ask him everything bar football!

    Gerard Healy is one media commentator who actually knows the Swans so to hear him talk up our chances is very encouraging.

    If I was Judd I would be as boring and uncontroversial as possible just so they didn't invite me back.
    walls and sheahan asking the hard question - FFS - as if he was going to answer that question about when he knew about drugs. As if he was going to stick the boot in to Fev.
    I cracked up about his comment re feeding the barking dog first.

    The only guy on "on the couch" who knows ANYTHING about Sydney is Gerard Healy. After all, Mike Sheahan only watches most interstate games from home! If he actually got out there and saw a game live we might take his comments of our team seriously!!

    ROK on the Couch

    I mentioned this in another thread but ROK when asked about Nick Davis and Healy stated he still has the talent - Rok replied(not exact wording) you can have the talent but if you dont do the hard work....

    Really says it all coming from a senior player IMHO I would say he has no respect with the playing group or leadership.

    Not really tradeable who would want him? best bet take a round 2 or 3 just to move him on.

    Cheers

    Looked totally like ROK was quoting the standard party line (and not just in that comment).
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

    Hasn't had a lot of media exposure, didn't have the composure to come with any wisecracks about say Hally or Goodsey.

    GH was obviously impressed with his leadership role in the internationals.

    When asked about Roosey, thought he could have been a more expansive, and the crew could have gone in a bit harder to learn what it's really like playing under Roosey.

    Learnt SBA really.

    Didn't sound like it - sounded like a forward who had got sick of covering a lazy arsed colleague.
