Will most probably knock himself out running through the banner if he plays this week.

Kossie will definately play.
Was mentioned today today they would probably just sit him in the goal square

Touche.

I remember an article entitled 'he's the best' with a picture of the two champions pointing at each other. Didn't see Barrie play but most seem to agree that he shades Russell. (arguably)

I saw a lot of Russell Ebert first hand, but was too young to see Barrie Robran before his cruel knee injury.

I did see him live when he came back on one leg in 1980 and even with that handicap he was an absolute champion.

Both are in rarefied air as far as I'm concerned.

Apparently Jude Bolton will announce his retirement today one of my fave swans players of all time. Top 5 for sure.

One of my favourites too .. When he first started a mate of mine called him "another pretty boy" but he never EVER played that way.

i swear a couple weeks ago they said he was going around again next year

Farewell to Jude, will always be remembered for having the tightest guernsey of any AFL footballer I can remember.

Hang on no sorry, these are guys I wish would retire.

Milne, Blake and Kossie

Milne's record speaks for itself. Heart and soul of the footy club. Will be widely remembered as being the victim of "that bounce" in 2010. Oh and some off field stuff..

Blake was serviceable and generally reliable. Will not remember the 09 GF fondly.

Kossie never reached the heights that we'd all hoped, but I'm glad the club is giving him a 200th game on Saturday.

Ill shed a tear at Kossies departure. Never again will I see someone with the ability to look like he may not touch the footy for an entire game again I feel. Good luck to the tripping hazard.
