Sometimes I think our recruiters were the ones who suffered the biggest premiership hangover after 2012. In addition to paying an inflated price for Tippett, our acquisitions in that off-season included Brandon Jack and Xavier Richards.

Thank you no good at that stuff.

I hope the kid has a big summer on the Tucker and weights. He really has his dad's build. Hope he develops the same durability.
He's a fair bit taller.

True. Hope he still develops the same durability. Blakeysnr was both tough and strong for his build.
Maybe Nick will go along the same lines or become a beast like the once similarly skinny Goodesy did.
They get 80,000 paying people to The Gee - gotta make the most out of the Carlton hopeful before the wheels wall off.
What has that got to do with Swans in the media !
Grand Uncle Horace

Nah... unless the crims cop a shellacking it is not worth it. So presumably Richmond along with the Filth and the Dopers will get to play the Carlcrims twice, banking 8 points each (yes I know the Dopers got done by the Carlcrims in 2018 - must have been off their meds).
Of course it's significant, it's game of the year where one of these teams traditionally is put out of finals contention.

Heard a bit of an Ireland interview this morning on SEN. Impressive as always. I hope Harley proves half the success as CEO.
Discussing the Swans quiet trade period he said we missed on one target, implying that we would not chase people for the sake of it. He emphasised the importance in the strategy of building sufficient points for Blakey. He then said our list was the youngest it had been in his time and that the Club saw Blakey as fitting in with the age profile.
He indicated the Club will have increased flexibility in the Cap going forward (unfortunately he did use the expression, 'war chest').

That's good, we used to draft the best talent available and trade for what we needed in the team. Brought us 2 premierships doing that. I'm extremely excited for next year with the list we've got
Number37
Anyhow, have a Winfield 25.

So he says we didn't want to rush into getting just anyone because everyone thought we would.
So I'm guessing we have someone on our radar for next season. Remember it was at about this time in 2012 that we were approached by (or we approached
) Buddy Franklin's.
And we were after someone biggish and we missed out . I rest my case.So he says we didn't want to rush into getting just anyone because everyone thought we would.

Sydney spent this year trying to eliminate bias from its recruiting in a bid to give the club an edge over rivals at draft time
