    Spotted by someone other than me: James Rose (footballer) - Wikipedia

    I'd noticed his inability to stay in position, but I hadn't realised he was so short.

    Yes, that's pretty short, even for a small forward.
    My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

    I had the great misfortune, and its entirely my fault, of accidently turning on footy classified last night when I couldnt get to sleep.
    And there was Eddie MacGuire suggesting that the pies do not have to go after a power forward like Daniher or Jeremy Cameron, because they recruited Darcy Cameron from Sydney for that role.

    No pressure Darcy, but the Pies premiership hopes are riding on you.

    Was the same reason they recruited Jesse White.

    He could have been anything.
    Will never forget that day at the footy. What started out as pure joy to see AJ back on the ground turned into a nightmare, and we didn't know it at the time but that game would be the end of two premiership players careers.

    Heartbreaking for him and all of us who adored him and wanted so many more games from him.

    Let's hope that, one day, having the last possession of the game in the 2012 Premiership is what he will remember most about his career.

    It's probably the saddest story I've witnessed in all my years as a Swans fan. I too hope that in 20 years time he'll be able to focus more on the way he overcame his adversities to make it back, rather than the horrendous end to his playing career.

    I'm glad that he at least made it, and showed us all that he wasn't delusional, when he successfully returned to the field against Collingwood. I think it would have been even sadder if the last injury had happened in training or even in a NEAFL match rather than during a joyous victory at AFL level. To some degree it vindicated his years of perseverance notwithstanding what happened a week later. A special guy who got to live his dreams more than most despite the so sad ending.

    He played taller than his wikipedia entry

    So cruel that it was his good knee that failed at the end.
    The same knee that got him through his whole career unscathed. So unlucky!

    Past players - what are they up to?

    Tadhg Kennelly is not the only Swans premiership hero to be a coaching casualty of Covid-19.

    Marty Mattner is gone from the Crows with no other job lined up.

    And Nick Malceski remains stood down from the Suns.
