He is still a fine overhead mark and beautiful long kick of the footy, I dont think this shortened covid season did him any favours with the extra long pre season and no footy for 10 months.

Would be fantastic if he decides to play on next season.
Surely would be getting close to playing 250 games?
Has been good to see a player of his quality at the one club. From memeory, been at Swans for 11 yaers or thereabouts.

Tony actually started playing Colts at SD in 2006 (League debut was in Rd1 08) WAG.

He also was on the Eagles list for a few years and played 1 AFL game.
I would say he is up there with the best Swans "clubmen" that I have seen. I could not imagine him in any other football jumper than the black and white.

Tony played 2 games for the Budgies Mike, on top of his 243 with Swans and I think 5 or 6 games for WA, so we may have missed his 250th senior game just recently?
Noble is due back from suspension but also Farrant was good in the Reserves win last week with 4.4 whilst Trew continues to rack up disposals in the Colts and has a touch of class.

Notte has played 244 WAFL games, 6 state games and 2 for West Coast, so yep his 250th Senior game was vs East Perth

He would need 3 seasons more to get to 300 senior games. He is only 30 still so depending on his motivation and fitness this wouldn't be beyond him.

This Sundays game is important in that if we can finish the season with a victory it will give everybody in the club a lift and provide some momentum going into 2021. Contrast last season when we were thumped by 106 points at Claremont Oval in the final round and that turned out to be the last game for 11 months. A very sour finish to 2019 which we don't want to repeat.
The Sharks have been very close to knocking off some highly rated sides this season and would certainly fancy their chances against Swans

Only chance the sharks have is Griffen plays one last bull buster and can compete with Gault Griffenhas been a superb big man and I hope for us it doesn’t happen.

We may have a couple of our own playing their final WAFL game Marley.

Necessary evil at the end of a season. Who do you think will hang them up Beas? Heard any whispers?

Got a feeling Riggs & Payne may hang up the boots.

Payne yes, Riggs 50/50 according to coach on radio the other day, not sure if announcement tonight .

Yes that's correct, Payne is pulling the pin at seasons end. I think he came out of the South West Footy League if my old foggy memory is correct. Has played a lot of reserves and league matches.
Riggio still undecided from what I hear
