    Just been pointed out the first week of the NEAFL finals won't involve the Swans as the Top 2 have a bye. And we're guaranteed top spot already.

    Great career Ted. You don't owe anybody anything.

    I was a bit surprised he played on this year.

    I still believe he should have got the Norm Smith medal in 2006

    Well, he would have, but he was knocked out by one of those Eagles, who were flying high. Chick, was it? All fine upstanding citizens.

    That was a lovely article. Have they played any ressies or pre-season games together?

    It's like the passing of the guard.
    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.

    Great article - Ted as always shining through as a fantastic guy. Its sad that he is more than likely not going to get a chance for a farewell game, but footy is a harsh game and father time sadly waits for nobody.

    I hope he trains the house down. His only chance is an injury to Aliir or Grundy, which may well happen in a heated prelim

    Great article - not the sort Caro is best known for.

    However, the way I recall that 2013 debut of X's, saying "the brothers enjoyed less than 15 minutes together on the SCG" is an understatement. I think it was more like 2 minutes . (Correct me if I'm wrong but that's the way I remember it.) Would be nice to see them have another game together but I agree the only way I can see it happening is if Reg or Aliir is injured.

    I was intrigued that it was implied that X wasn't very happy about being moved forward when it happened. Is that surprising or to be expected?

    It was interesting wasn't it?

    I agree with the comments above about his versatility as a potential back. It occurred to me after the Giants game that he was another option to throw back on Jeremy Cameron when he was dominating. If we can get Reid back fit and firing it gives us an enormous amount of versatility and sets up our key back for the foreseeable future
