If we accept unders clubs will see this as weakness at the trading table and we will be bullied in future deals. The perception will be of you really want a player from the Swans, just go get him as swans will cave for unders.

We won't accept under, meaning a top 10 pick (ideally higher). Their first rounder would be about right. However I HATE this idea that the higher the pick, the better the player. Rubbish. I'd take 150-200 games (guaranteed) from Jones over a 'might be a gun' pick 7 in 2015...
Yes I agree with this. I really think this kid can be something. He has Hodge style presence on the field something we lack.

Reminds me so much of Brad Sewell actually. People under estimate his skills, and he is tough, in and under and just a very good solid team player. You need those player.
I agree but unfortunately it does not work like that. If Jones gets 10 or more games this season then he will hold his value on the trade market. If however he only plays 2 or 3 games then we will get a second rounder for him at best.
McVeigh can play for another 5years he is never injured and doesnt rely on pace.
Citi has extended its partnership by a further 3 years till the end of 2017.
That caps off our 3 major sponsors all extending their deals in 2014. With the SCG deal and 850k profit its been a very very good year financially for us.

Melbourne will have the room to offer him stupid sums of money ala jed lamb. They dangle that carrot and we have zero chance of retaining him. I hope he stays. Will replace shaw by seasons end.

I think it'll be a combination of games he plays, how he plays in Sydney, what we offer, they offer and how Melbourne are going. If we make the 4 again and Melbourne only win 5 games and he plays a lot of games, he will stay
And if the trade ban is not lifted we wont be able to facilitate a trade.
We can trade players out, we just can't trade them in.

Anyhow, have a Winfield 25.

If Macca plays 5 more years then our group of next big things will have amounted to nought.
Lloyd and Cunningham have had the grounding to step up to the big time next year.
McVeigh, Bird and McGlynn will make way for Jones, Hewett and Heeney.
I hope the pimple on the inside of my nostrils contract is revoked, immediately.
Yes. Currently, the AFL has compelled us to only make negative trades - trading down in quality and experience for raw picks in the draft (which are unusable if we are to remain true to the Academy players anyway under existing rules, and most likely IMPOSSIBLE to use when Academy rules are made dramatically more onerous this year).
Simultaneously, equalisation allows cap space for big contracts to be offered by opponents to help them strip mine our list.
It's effectively a punishment for draft tampering.
What happened at the Commission hearing? Silence...

We'll bend other clubs over by taking players that want to be part of our system.
The fact is that we thrive on taking players in the 23-25 years of age bracket.
There are plenty wanting a chance.
Mattner, Teddy, etc, etc, etc,.
Stop fearing because we will be a serious threat again in the next few years.
They all want what we have. Great club culture!
We'll be able to sell it to them!
Malceski is an example.
The guy is 30. He is milking GC for plenty as a 30YO for 3 years. We were given a great pick for such an aged player.
Have a real good think about it folks.
We lost a loved player yet have been well reimbursed while at the same time, forcing another club to look after Mal!

Mal leaving was never a problem. The club would always sponsor that move.
It's not losing the player that hurts, though, it's not getting a Patfull style player in trade that does the damage (if a replacement was required to maintain competitiveness).

Hawthorn and the Sydney Swans are two clubs that have made enquiries about the 192cm County Kilkenny product, with the Hawks recently visiting his family home.

Good on them. Copped some s**t. But Buddy could well only be here because of her. Glad for them.

I don't see Jones leaving. I've read a few things that suggest that he's very competitive with his brothers (a pretty standard trait in elite athletes), and given that Nathan's already established himself as a captain and multiple b+f winner at Melbourne I can't see Zak wanting to go there only to spend years in his shadow - breaking into an extremely competitive Sydney midfield and perhaps getting a flag in the process seems like a much better way to "one up" his big bro
You mean if there was any half decent stock at the Hawks he'd have stayed?
Well in all likelihood what are the chances of that hey?
