Some interesting anecdotes from Dermie of his year (or was it two) at the Swans.
I used work up at Chats and get physio in the same place, hard to believe they had to drive up to Chats. for bloody physio!!!!Physiotherapy was a 40-minute drive away at Chatswood
Dermie played more Grand Finals for Hawthorn than he did games for Sydney!! He was there for that one year (1994) He was suspended for 6 weeks for stepping on a Hawk's player's head in a PRACTICE match at the start of the year. He also got injured. I think he played six games.
Seeing things in red and white is better than seeing things as black and white.
And just think, Dermie arrived just as things were improving in '94.
Makes me appreciate the stoicism and loyalty of Bayes, Lewis & Co even more!
Rayden Tallis was the Hawks scone he trod on, and He won the Melbourne Game with an ugly helicopter kick.
Money for nothing Year for Dermie.
he got 7 for the head incident and then played 7 games and kicked 7 goals and he had another 7 week suspension for striking tony free i think??
did he ever play a game at the scg for us??
imagine tho if he had of been able to play at even 75% of his best and stay for 1995 with lockett and roos..... would of been good IMHO i always thought dermie was a great player
Theres not much left to say
15 minutes to drive from The Brewongle to Randwick??
5 minutes more like it.
I used to live at Clovelly and it only took 15 minutes to get home ON MATCH DAY!
Maybe Dermie stopped to get his mullet trimmed on the way.

I think people are a little harsh on Dermie's year in Sydney
The few games he did play, he didn't play too badly - its just that the tribunal decided to crucify him for everything he'd ever done at Hawthorn - why they couldn't have done this why he was still at Hawthorn I'll never know
I think he still maintains to this day that he never stood on Tallis's head - and Tallis even said at the time there was no contact - but still - even 10 years down the track the tribunal decisions are just as mystifying
Oh come on Danny, he was up here to more or less kick start his media career. He had several fingers in several pies at the time he was up here. And it showed in his pathetic efforts on the field.Originally posted by Ert
