If Kinnear thought he was good enough, he'd be here.

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.
I'm not sure ending his career was a great call. Sure he'd gotten a bit slower (but then his speed and kicking were never attributes) but he was still getting the job done in 2002, I suspect the club was expecting Saddington and Schauble to be the first choice key defenders in the future, and either didn't rate him as insurance or didn't think he'd be able to deal with such a state of affairs.
Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.
Tony Armstrong making his debut as a match commentator with MMM this weekend. He will be the station's first indigenous caller. Listened to his audition tapes & has a great voice for calling the game. Wish him all the best & hope he straightens up their inherent boys club.
Tony Armstrong has also joined Mathew Stokes and Andrew Krakouer as a panelist on the weekly AFL-site video ‘Colour Of Your Jumper’ - something I enjoy watching. It is presented by Shelley Ware and focuses on indigenous players and issues, though not exclusively. I like the informal, less aggressive approach compared to many other panel presentations. And Tony contributes incisive and thoughtful comments.

I think you have missed my point. This writeup is on an Irish online sports site, with an emphasis on Irish sportspeople, presumably predominantly read by Irish people and ex-pats, about Tommy playing Gaelic football.
I love the fact that the Sydney Swans are so well known in football circles in Ireland that Tommy is referred to as ‘the former Sydney Swans player’ with no need for further explanation about what that means.
On another occasion on RWO I told my anecdote of telling an Irish man sitting in a carpark with his menagerie of pet animals on the coast in the Ring of Kerry that I was from Australia - and he immediately said ‘Sydney Swans’!
The Irish love their football!
