You don’t rate Wines?
He was better than nearly every Swan on the weekend and that was coming in as an emergency. Plus he’s only 24 - perfect age.
Doubt it’s true but wish it was.
Smith only went off the boil shortly before his career ending injury. KJ was another issue.
Isn't this the same at most clubs though? I mean look at Roughead, contributed zero this year to hawks, scott selwood at geelong etc if you look at every side I'm pretty sure you'll find some players who are past it, yet at the time of contract offer/ extension they were still playing good football.
If these great players you mentioned were just cast aside or left for a better offer our depth would resemble gold coasts, a bunch of kids.
Steven May co captain at the Gold Coast requested trade last year.Unless I'm mistaken, Ryan Griffen is only captain in a looooong time that's been traded and he requested it.
you cant predict injuries when you offer contracts, yes players naturally decline with age.Smith wa
But we end up playing kids anyway with a bunch of guys on the injury list like this year

were you happy Bolton and Goodes were still swans players grandfinal day in 2012? Because under some peoples recruitment models they wouldn't have been playing that day.
JPK is still a quality footballer but without the quality he once had around him.Well yes to both.
All things being equal - which they are not in this country - I'd still have Goodesy on our list on a handshake year to year contract.

Is Ollie Wines another Luke Parker.
Very good allround but not great at anything.

I'd argue that a straight swap would be fair. Check out their Supercoach stats. If anything Jones is considered more valuable. They are very similar value as are their stats and age.Gazoooks man. More likely Jones for Petracca and their second. Petracca is close to a bust.

Personally, I would prefer Oliver, but he is their best mid so probably unlikely.
Goodes was terrible in his last year and we lost Membrey as a result. We could really do with him now. Goodesy really should have finished the season prior. A players history should be irrelevant. I agree with the others too, but at least we didn't lose any youngsters as a result by them playing one year too many.Goodes the exception there. A GOAT and arguably our BOG in his last ever match.

The final contract offer to Jack was ridiculous. From memory, Gold Coast were chasing him at the time which probably motivated us to give him a longer contract than we should have. He's been in terrible form for at least two seasons.No I just want the club to be a bit more wary going forward about longer deals for older players- be a bit more ruthless
not saying they were stupid calls- some were odd, mostly bad luck with a few
Just if a guy is 29 or older be careful thats all im suggesting

JPK is still a quality footballer but without the quality he once had around him.
Think there’s a bit too much bile being directed his way.
I’d hate to contemplate our current midfield without him.
Of course, I seemingly lost all credibility when I suggested Petracca might do well at the Swans.....

Petracca has huge potential upside if he finds his way to a club with a professional, winning culture.Agree about Oliver. Petracca lacks stamina for their game. He could not cope with our Grand old Duke of York game plan of running back and forward.

Feels like he could be obtained at unders.
This whole “quality around them” business is nonsense IMO. Kennedy in play is just lacking awareness and not making smart decisions. That has nothing to do with who is around him, but an age-old sign that a player is losing their touch.
Ditto Parker. They are still getting their hands on it plenty, just not doing enough of the right things with it. That’s on them, not on the guys around them.
WTF
Goodes was not terrible at all. He was our best player in the 2015 finals series, and could’ve gone another year still were it not for the circumstances of his departure. He was providing more running power and class around goals than anyone else in the team.
Membrey is a pretender.
Where do you come up with this s**t? You speak it with great authority, but it is s**t.
