[Heeney2Franklin]

Dal Santo officially a Roo, Saints likely to recieve compo pick 23* (could be 25 if Sylvia is band 3)

Saints will be favorites for the wooden spoon imo.

 

[Punts]

Sydney's sensational offseason so far:

IN: Franklin, Perris, Mitchell
OUT: Bolton, Mumford, White, Mattner, Armstrong, Brown, Roos, Tudor, Stone, Colless

Morton and looking like Everitt

 

[Punts]

So the 40 that we might get for White and Armstrong will end up being 46

Sydney's sensational offseason so far:

Probably the only one we could of retained if we wanted to, White was gone regardless of the Franklin deal imo.

 

[Punts]

Chappy a Don

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

So the 40 that we might get for White and Armstrong will end up being 46

Will we even use that pick

It's where we do our best work...

 

[tombomb]

Will we even use that pick

Wasn't white signed up to some inflated contract a few years ago when he looked like a young star?

I think the swans will be happy to just get him out the door and wont care too much about the pick we get back.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Yer i know but this draft is looking very thin especially beyond 30.

 

[AimingforNo6]

Don't worry Punts. At least the list cannot be called old anymore by the smoko's, i mean journo's!

OUT White - 26 Mumford - 28 Bolton 34 Mattner 32 Armstrong -24 Brown 20 Morton 27 AV 27

IN Franklin 27 and 6 eighteen year olds = Average age of 19

That's called a rebuild isn't?

 

[YorshireSwan]

Melbourne is getting desperate.

Roosy is a great get for them but they are still Melbourne.
Until he instills a good culture, players will avoid the place if they are given a choice. I'm sure Roos will change that eventually.

Surely he would have had some say in the trade so he has to take some responsibility for it? Not sure that this is a cultural thing more the recruitment team going out and following through on his request, lets remember it was Roos who put pick 2 on the table.

I think if you look at it logically, he was pick 3 in 2011 so they are essentially getting "equal value" plus an additional top 10 pick (pick 9) so its not that silly if the reality of the draft meets the theory of it

 

[alanlau34]

Yer i know but this draft is looking very thin especially beyond 30.

I get that. But our guys will find some gem that has been missed by the others.

You should move your bed away from the wall, give yourself a chance.

How many games did Morton, Armstrong, Brown and Mattner play in 2013? Not enough to be missed in 2014.

Roos was an academy coach so hardly a loss. His departure will have no impact on our fortunes in 2014 and beyond.

Franklin replaces White so Mumford is the only guy we can't cover as yet.

 

[doona]

He was in the sights of Gold Coast. We didnt want to loose him to an expansion team so he has been on a good salary.

 

[strauchanie59]

Mumford traded for GWS Pick 35.

 

[Scully2Folau]

Mumford deal is official, pick 35 to Sydney. Better than expected on your end?

 

[swans4eva]

Reamed, but expected. What pick will that become with the compo picks?

 

[doona]

Trade paperwork lodged - Sydney Swans exchange Shane Mumford to GWS Giants for its rd 3 pick (currently number 35).

 

[Wayne Swan]

Mumford deal is official, pick 35 to Sydney.

That will end up pick 39, 35 plus compo for Franklin, Daisy, Dal Santo & Sylvia, no way near fair dealing.

 

[Scully2Folau]

Reamed, but expected. What pick will that become with the compo picks?

Could be 39ish.

 

[doona]

Mumford deal is official, pick 35 to Sydney. Better than expected on your end?

No. We were going to get the first pick you were not going to use so that you could keep the no. 1 PSD pick. considering circumstances, fair I think.

But in essence, you keeping the no.1 pick could net you crameri....

 

[strauchanie59]

Well considering he is out of contract it is a good deal. If he was in contract we would be given unders. Good deal considering he could have gone straight into the PSD.

 

[swans4eva]

I'm guessing GWS weren't originally planning to use that pick.

 

[strauchanie59]

I expect us to move up the drafting order with a few trades

 

[doona]

Well considering he is out of contract it is a good deal. If he was in contract we would be given unders. Good deal considering he could have gone straight into the PSD.

Also no money in the cap. That was the bigger factor I think, so he was gone regardless
