Unfortunately, the memory that sticks in my mind the most is a bad one..... And I love the guy.
I remember his kick being smothered by Daniel Chick in the '06 Grand Final, allowing wet toast to run into an open goal, and kill any chance of a back to back flag.
....... Don't get me wrong, I don't blame him. It's unfortunately what sticks in my mind, as his highlight reel isn't all that flashy.
Ed Considine's day out - Round 3, 16th April 1995.
11 Kicks, 13 Handballs, 8 Marks, 1 Goal, 1 Behind, 1 Tackle, 1 Hitout, 3 Brownlow votes (his only votes)
Ed = God
NARF = not a real fan
Anytime he wore the "Alice band".
Similar to Samson, not so hot without the locks.

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
I have a very similar first memory Liz and I suspect it may very well be the same one. It was the annual NSO pre-season match against Essendon and ROK got in a scrap on the wing with Dean Solomon. Now Solomon, rightly or wrongly, carried a reputation as a hard man over the course of his career and ROK certainly gave as good as he got and I also thought 'Wow, who's this guy, they won't walk all over him'.
Unfortunately that is also a lasting ROK memory for me as well.

I am 99% sure mine wasn't the annual NSO pre-season game. Back then they played them on a Sunday afternoon and the game I recall was a night game. I didn't go to many SFL games when our thirds were playing in that league but I was working in North Sydney back then and, with the game being on a Friday evening, figured I might as well just pop up the road to watch. Brett Allison had been injured, I think, and I remember thinking how much of a come-down it must have been for him running around in an SFL game.
A strong mark and goal in the final against the Hawks in 2001, I told my dad "he's going to have a blinder!"
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
The game that he took by the throat was the EF against North in 2008. That was a very imposing and mature performance. I lean toward that being his best and complete game.
The PF in 2005 against Saints was very good and thank god for that bomb to Davo!
Any year with the headband was pretty special - does it his own way and his B&F year in 2009 was a wonderful way to show his commitment to the Swans.
He's a good man.
