I think you're referring to Garry Lyon. To be fair to Lyon, I don't believe he speculated, rather that he was fed the information via his earworm by a producer. Before the break he had wondered out loud why "that old bloke" hadn't led the Swans in their post-win song. And after the break he shared the "news" that Kenny had sadly passed away. I did a double take and immediately texted a friend to see if she had heard this "news". We both concluded that a) we hadn't heard; b) there was no way the Swans wouldn't have reported it; c) therefore someone had given Lyon dud info.
Fair enough Liz. I had only seen the online response after it all, so had speculated it was just another 2 plus 2 equals 9 that we see far too often from the commentary teams. Sounds like it was further down the food chain that got it wrong and a genuine error.

"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

You can guess what it was.
The forecast is looking diabolical. Will they change the venue to Melbourne or elsewhere?
