    Ah, you know me so well Jewels.

    It wasn't going to be global warning that would melt the ice in my veins.

    Best of luck, Bevo. I daresay he'll earn more on this than if he was picked up as a mature aged rookie.
    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

    An interesting article http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/...-1226226892899 that says Bevo was wanted by Port. I guess that is enough to drive anyone to Perth. Also interesting to see where Brain ended up.

    Good on him. Should be on good money and Perth will no doubt help him build a career.

    Surprised GWS didn't give him a go for a year, as average a player as I rate him, he does have a dip and is a true local boy. Would have thought he'd have more currency than McDonald for instance.

    x2 - Stupid GWS could have milked the 'grandson of Rugby League legend' for another year to a new audience. Plus he would have tought the young 'uns some hardness. Not sure what the hell McDonald has to offer - seems like GWS is some sort of trumped up superannuation scheme for a few pre-retirees.

    People on this site keep pushing Mike Pyke's barrow but he will never be as good as what Bevan was and as for Tommy Walsh I just hope he becomes as good as Bevo.

    The Swans delisted Bevan because...???

    Walsh and Pyke are about 7 foot taller than Bevan and play a different role so comparisons world seem to be a bit silly. Those of us who watch a lot of footy see Pyke as an excellent 2nd ruck option.

    Bevan on the other hand didn't excel in any role this year with the reserves and was rightly delisted. While he tried hard and is a tough bugger you need a bit more to stay on an AFL list especially one with some great youngsters like the Swans.

    Pyke isn't that bad.

    Walsh will probably score more goals for us than the opposition, so that would put him ahead of Bevan probably by the end of next season.

    From what I have seen on this site Al is a BBQ man specialising in snags and lashings of onions. No wonder he knocked back the hot dog and pie. He would class that as junk food.

    Bevo deserved all his 129 games,and was still playing in winning games with the Bloods SIX YEARS after his 2005 premiership medal was hung round his neck.The reality is the coaching staff and club wanted him there because he always has a red hot go.
