    Was there ever any doubt?

    Hopefully won't end in tears for him. You can't see him getting through a season with such a significant tear in his acl.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    I believe so but everyone is assuming not

    I was pretty sure someone from the Swans said our premiership side was all re signed with the exception of Jude, once Pike, Morton and Bird were nailed down?
    Antone else recall this?

    Funnily enough I agree with you. I am a bit disappointed as I think one year more might see his body out and I'd hate to see him go out an injured wreck. I reckon if the body starts to give out give up. But Jude would play with both legs broken and his head chopped off!

    People talk about the concussion thing with Tippett, but it's much worse for Bolton.

    If you look at his post season interview they ask him where he was when the siren sounded - answer = I'm not too sure, I was a bit concussed towards the end.... I've heard him say "a bit concussed" more than any other player.
    The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

    Could of sworn jetta extended his contract last year. 1 year for Morton is a good thing imo, I think it'll push him harder.

    With Folau now quitting it goes to show what an amazing effort Mike's is. Must have been very committed.

    I think Mike's IQ is considerably higher than "I'll take my pay now Folau".

    You're correct.

    Sydney Swans re-sign livewire Lewis Jetta until the end of 2013 as local rival GWS continue to circle.

    Too right - he is one of the really great AFL stories of all time.

    Up yours, BT.
    My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
