In this week’s Ask a Swan segment on SwansTV, Ryan O’Keefe reveals his toughest opponent, keys to leadership, and his favourite meals to prepare ahead of a big game.

O’Keefe was inundated with questions from curious fans.

When asked about the major influences on his career, O’Keefe says he has been blessed to play alongside great players at the Swans such as Wayne Schwass, Paul Kelly, Stuart Maxfield and Brett Kirk amongst others. 

As the Swans resident foodie, there were plenty of culinary related questions for him.

Here are just some of the questions Ryan answers from the fans…

“Ryan well done on your own form so far this season. You've obviously been part of successful top 4 sides in 03,05,06...what does the current group have to do to be able to reach that level again? Or is it just something that's going to come with the natural development of the younger players?” - Jake

“You, Goodsey and Jude Bolton are the heart of the Swans team. As leaders of the team, how do you three mentor and guide the young players coming through???” -  Peter

“Hi Ryan. You obviously really love your cooking which is great. What is your favorite dish to cook the night before a game or just in general? Good luck against collingwood hope you and all the swannies have a great game.” - Matt

“Hey Ryan. Have you and the lads ever thought to open a restaurant in Sydney and if so which Swan would you like to see do the washing up every night. Keep up the great work!”  - Sarah
