Chatting about Chad

[Bangalore Swans]

This is now highly amusing. Please keep it up.

But on that form, I’d be a hard no on Corey.

Corey started the season with a good 30 but has since posted two single figure scores.

Chad’s probably enjoying having a hit with his brother.

It’s been an incredible cricketing comeback for Chad.

Last time he played was in the U12s.

I’m not sure of the level of cricket he’s playing (ie whether it’s matting or turf.)

It’s clear that he has great sporting talent.

Maybe with some specialist batting coaching Chad could progress his cricket.

You would prefer him pursuing his cricket in Sydney than in Freemantle.

Maybe Chad fans will see him around the Eastern Suburbs smashing the ball in the cricket nets.

Frankly I'd prefer him to just concentrate on his footy.....a bit of hit and giggle is fine but let's not get 'carried away'.....which seems to becoming a theme on this thread.

Maybe he has some cricketing talent. Maybe that should be explored.

I’m all for people trying a variety of pursuits.

So you'd prefer he didn't concentrate on his footy. I think you'd be on your own there. The days of being able to do both ended back in Max Walker's day.

We’re paying these guys hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why would you risk their careers (& our football department) for a bit of hit & giggle? These guys are professionals. Professional footballers.

Yeah, everyday people who don't have high priced careers in one sport maybe.....

He is a footy player isnt he

Are people saying on this forum that they think it’s a dangerous idea to have Chad playing some Cricket with Corey?

I thought people would be delighted to see Chad averaging 110 this season. It’s shows his great sporting capability.

Are there any Cricket fans on Red and White?

I don’t think he’s facing 140km thunder bolts aimed at his body.

Didn’t Simon O’Donnell play for St Kilda?

Craig Bradley played Sheffield Shield for SA.

Earl Spading played Cricket for WA.

Alex Carey spent some time on the Giants list.

The great Shane Warne played a game for St Kilda reserves.

Chad has a long way to go to match the dual sport capability of these above sportsman.

Be fun to see if he could reach a good level of local cricket.

Cricket fan but a swans fan . Chad is a swans player , not a cricket player . Agree that it shows he is a tremendous athlete , but Australia can find other tremendous cricketers , Chad can be a tremendous footballer as he is drafted and PAID to do .

And he will be

I personally have no problem with him having a hit during his time away from the club. I certainly wouldn't be encouraging him to "pursue" cricket, purely from a selfish desire to see him maximise his talent as a Swan.

Agree. This is my exact point.....he doesn't need the distraction of any other sporting pursuits, other than purely off season distraction/recreation.
