C'mon, give the jokes about Gallloway a rest. He's a very young man from country NSW, who was a speculative pick as a Category B rookie because he had only started playing AFL in his late teens. Beatson said from the start that he was a 'raw' talent but thought he was worth a try particularly because he is very tall (close to Sandilands' height). They've clearly concluded he's not going to make it but he's cost us very little and hasn't kept any other player off the list. Hopefully Kyle will keep on playing AFL in a local comp. as an improved player and pass on some of the things he has learned at the Swans. None of that should make him the butt of jokes in my view.
I admire & respect all who have been on the Swans list at any stage, even if they only played ressies (though I'd obviously rate some higher than others). They way I look at it, the very bottom player on our list pushes the next player up to be better. The guy who has been a senior emergency 5 times but not cracked the senior side has pushed the guy who managed to play one game to be good enough to play that one game. They've all contributed to the Club I love in some way, & I appreciate that.
Well, perhaps not the guys of the 80s & 90s who were drafter but never came. I guess they didn't contribute a lot.
Likewise Jack Hiscox. He went to school with & played against & with one of my young guys in junior and state zone footy and at
a SFL club for many years and is totally decent young fella. Sure his one AFL game was poor. But so what. Every week we have experienced guys that have @@@@ games. He has busted his ass trying to be a better footballer, but it's probably not going to happen
for him. People should just leave off. It's poor form.

Jeez, I didn't realise how badly demoralised and gutted the Grand Final loss has left so many supporters. I'm truly sorry. All I could think of was myself and how I would face next year without Tom Derickx. The thought occurred to me that we might be so good that we might not have anyone qualified to be a whipping boy. I might even have to join Barry and start deriding Macca. We live in troubled times.
I take it all back. I applaud you 2-Hit Galloway. Good luck on your modeling career.
Maybe one day we can laugh at ourselves again.

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.
