Tony Morwood, the General Manager of the Sydney Swans in Melbourne and Canberra has written to the Vietnam Swans on the eve of our Asian Champs campaign to wish us well (see below).

Morwood played with South Melbourne/Sydney Swans from 1978 – 1989 for 229 games. Much of his football was played on the forward flank where he kicked most of his 397 career goals. He twice topped the Swans list of goalkickers.

Morwood was a slimly built player who possessed excellent overhead skills and was genuinely pacey (as is Scotty Stacey we hastily acknowledge).

As well as representing, Victoria, he was named as a Half Forward Flank in the Swans Official Team of the Twentieth Century.

We’re really closing in on the Champs now. Go the Swannies!
