A Troy Luff sculpture is the way to go?

or two other players who's contribution to the Swans was nothing short of sensational - Daffy & Tingay!

or maybe Dermot Brereton for his Swans song effort?

Actually, I think it would be more likely to see a statue at the SCG of Michael before Paul, even if he did also play for SA and Tassie.

It's an interesting thought, perhaps they'll just put up a statue of Michael and when the Swans people ask say it's Paul.
SSFC: "No, it's clearly Michael."
SCGT: "No, it's Paul."
SSFC: "But it says Michael on the plauge."
SCGT: "Typo."
SSFC: "Big typo!"
SCGT: "Yes."
SSFC: "But he's holding a cricket bat."
SCGT: "No, that's a football."
SSFC: "No it's not, it's clearly..."
SCGT: "A football. See these letters on it?"
SSFC: "G.R.A.Y.N.I.C."
SCGT: "Sherrin!"

stranger things have happened when it comes to Rodney Cavalier and his merry band of crusty trust members!

anything could happen with that crowd!

Well we can say with a great degree of certainty that it WONT be Paul Bevan cast in bronze, stone or playdough. However, if a statue of the blond pretender was commisioned, common comment from the general public would be "Bevo who?" but I'm sure the statue would appeal to gastric strickin pidgeons in large numbers, so there is an up side.

Out of left field prediction - Geoffrey Edelsten for services to the pink helicopter industry and the introduction of the Swannettes.

Actual prediction - its a tie between Kelly and Lockett.

Interesting that the Bevanator's great uncle the great Brian Bevan had a statue erected in his honour outside the Warrington stadium

the thing is that people actually in other parts of the world knew Brian Bevan because he represented his county in his chosen code - and he was a star - sadly your love child has little chance of ever reaching such lofty heights of recognition. just being honest!

Be careful here Wardy. Remeber Brian couldn't get a game for Eastern Suburbs before the war, rejected by two pommie clubs on trial and went on to be the greatest winger of all time. The Bevans are late bloomers

the optimism you produce is truly astounding... gotta give you points for persistence I guess.
