    That's just great - does this open up a spot on out list for any ridiculously cheap superstars that might be looking for a team?

    The Tiges already got him.

    Did his knee give way from the wieght of all that extra ink work? Trying to look like Kenny Everitt was not a big highlight?

    Brilliant

    Could have quite deservedly had a Norm Smith in 2005.Was in the top 4 on the day.At his best a great rebounding player who played the team game.
    All the best and thanks for the memories.

    Sad as he has been a great servant of the club. Pretty ordinary doing it only a few weeks after the lists were finalised though.

    The Swans can negotiate a deal, no doubt about that.

    Its not as simple as that...whilst I agree with you in terms of having a full 2009 player list it would have been ideal...it may not have been possible on a salary cap basis.

    Apparently if he had announced it earlier the money the pay out he will receive for the last year of his contract (2009) would have been counted as 2008 salary and sent us over the salary cap. This seems unfair to me but thats the way the rules are. This way any pay out he has negotiated will be counted a little differently

    But in terms of his contribution - thanks Fozzie...well done!!! Hope he can stay around the club, perhaps in a fitness capacity?
