Last Friday in Saigon, Drew held a farewell party for himself.

Given his farewell footy tour to Jakarta will not be held until the very end of next month, the Swans Blog suspects that Big Drew may be making a big tilt at the record for the highest number of farewells ever for a Vietnam Swan.

It will be a big challenge for Drew. Dave Kainey had 32 official farewells – and still hasn’t really left. DT Daryl Taber had 26, Scotty Stacey 19. Gus McEwin is a slightly different animal. While we prepared a farewell banner for him back in April for the ANZAC Day match, he’s still well and truly stuck in HCMC!

So, if anyone is concerned that Big Drew Holywood doesn’t appear in the photo above, don’t. There will be plenty more opportunities to grab the big fella at a future farewell.
