    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    He was on big coin with us so no need to work for a while.

    In view of Kurt's fragility and the curse that seems to afflict the Swans Father-Sons - I think his kids would be better off elsewhere rather than risking a curse squared.

    The Swans Father-Son curse:

    Gareth John (crushed larynx)
    Stephen Doyle (Ankles and knees)
    Heath James (Everything)
    Sean Dempster (bad trade)
    Tom Mitchell (bad trade)
    Shane Morrison (went elsewhere)
    David Round (went elsewhere)
    Anthony & Darcy Daniher (went elsewhere)
    Josh & Kyle Dunkley (went elsewhere)
    Ty Zantuck (went elsewhere)

    And that's not including the players whose fathers didn't reach the relevant games qualification number.

    You are forgetting the fact that he’s crossed his DNA with a broader gene pool. Unlike a pug. There’s every chance his progeny will be made of sturdier material than he was.

    You just made me laugh aloud in public.

    Gareth John - struck down by a karate chop by Simon Madden.

    I wasn't at that game but have heard that it was Maddens knee or worse yet his boot.
    If anyone knows for sure?

    I thought knee. I seem to recall he slipped during a ruck contest. Falling forward throat connecting with raised knee.
    It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

    Thanks snajik - Sounds plausibly accidental.
    Rucks, right down to U12 were taught to use their knee as protection (and leverage) at the bounce.

    You know, if they could get it reasonably realistic, I'd probably buy the Tom Papley backpack. But of course, if it was realistic, it would have to retail for much more than $39.99.

    I was working on some prototypes of the upside down Tom Papley Backpack (as modeled by Patrick Cripps - see opposite), but have decided to add to the package with the all new Tom Papley inflatable.

    You can inflate it and pur it on the seat next to you so you don't feel like the only Swan supporter in the area
    AND
    He can be used to mind your seat when you go to the bar
    AND
    He can be thrown and bounced about the crowd (like a beach ball at the cricket) between quarters with no damage to spectators (example below).
