    Have a look at the inside back page of today's (5th Feb) Daily Telegraph. In an article called "Merry in Kerry"

    It accuses Kennelly as being a liar and provides examples to support this.

    Kennelly is reported as saying to an Irish newspaper that the Swans will struggle "?nthe paddock" this year.

    Kerry boss says Kennelly told him at Christmas that he was coming home even though on Jan 17 he was telling our papers he was staying for the year. The Swans are the last thing on his mind at the moment according to the Shamrock reporter.

    Kerry boss said they have to find him a job. Could I suggest checking cows for pregnancy. Using his head instead of his hand.

    He may have served the Swans well for the last 10 years but has really left a carton of eggs on the Swan's Management's faces now.

    This is a reference to a reference of a quote of a paraphrase of a remark Kennelly is supposed to have made. Kevin Bacon is closer than that.

    I've seen it reported that Kennelly has said, with reference to the Swans, that there's an inevitable "levelling off" after you win a flag. If that's what he's said, it's pretty accurate and hardly dissing the Bloods.

    The story in the Tele could hardly be vaguer. And it's in the Tele.

    It's disappointing Kennelly has left, and he could have handled it a lot better, but time to stop tilting at this windmill.

    has anyone read this damn contract? everyone seems to know exactly what was in it but i doubt it resembles the everyday contracts most people on here may have signed.

    i wouldn't be surprised if it contains not much more than something preventing you playing for another afl club and a whole bunch of clauses enabling the club to sack you for whatever they please.

    he's retired from afl, like many before him. should he have retired before being sure about it? should he play on now that he is?

    get over it.

    Just watched he's little video message, christ hasn't really got much to say, a whole minute, I've made longer speeches and farewells only two years at a job not ten years.

    Management has been too soft on this whole issue with the two Irishmen going home early, bugger the contract attitude, my arse would be pineappled side ways if I broke my employement contract that I signed one year ago for three years.

    You make a contract you stick to it.

    Yeah and that's the really difficult bitter pill to swallow. Swan's management may be just a little bit yellow bellied. Maybe that's why Kel decided to forgo his foray into the decision making process?

    I don't think our administration has been tough enough on this issue

    I reckon they should try Barlow as a replacement for what's his name. He has plenty of run and kicks OK. He also is more of a straight ahead player that endears his type to HBF.

    Kennelly wasn't a true defender as he tended to play off his man rather than as a close checking back. Barlow appears the similar type.

    On SEN this arvo Francis Leech was challenged by a listener as to why they were doing the NAB Cup and not the A-League Finals when they have broadcast the A-League all year. The listener said they were deserting soccer and that SEN was showing it's true colours and didn't care about other sports.

    His reply went something like this: "SEN signed a contract 3 years ago and they are not about breaking contracts. A contract is a contract and you if enter into a contract you ought to honour it". Mmmm, salient words indeed.
