Why a Swan's axing is about to become a major talking point
Cody Hirst isn't necessarily a household name. However, he is about to become one of the League's most interesting case studies

Swans getting it in the neck. Why wasn't Deluca from Carlton the headline?
Edit: I know Deluca is mature age and been in the system already. He was the number one pick in the mid-season though.

Cost cutting? Could’ve got rid of King...savings in commentary and the lunch room!
Did you see him play ?

The youngster was another victim of Sydney's controversial Telstra AFL Trade Period, where its inability to lure Joe Daniher meant that forward Tom Papley stayed put.

Agenda is another great word. As in "The Victorian media has an agenda".

Isn't all this increased player movement about becoming more like the US sports which are even more cutthroat? The Swans have a responsibility to build the best list possible, not hand out contracts to everyone that would feel bad if they got cut. It sucks for Hirst but I'm glad the Swans used a 2nd round mid-year pick with a 6 month commitment rather than a national draft pick with a 2 year commitment. It's surely better for Hirst to not be rotting in a system for 2 years where they don't rate him, hopefully he can find a spot at a team where fits in and gets more opportunities

I don't see the connection with the Daniher trade. If that had gone through Papley would have gone and it would have been tall forward in, small forward out and Cody Hirst still surplus to requirements.

The Melbourne media are just annoyed we didn't give into Essendon's ridiculous demands

In regard to Bennell, Swans have apparently done the most due diligence
www.smh.com.au
Clubs step up the chase for free agent Bennell
At least three AFL clubs are actively pursuing delisted free agent Harley Bennell, with Melbourne now joining the race.
The Vic media are trying desperately to portray us as a dastardly club who has treated Cody Hirst badly but there was nothing in that interview from Cody to suggest he wasn't aware of his position at the club. We would have made him very aware during the trade period, if not before, that he was recruited as a Papley replacement & there were no guarantees that we would keep him on the list. He also knew it was a 6 month contract.
Cry me a river Vic media. It's really starting to become so obvious with everything we do & how they choose to be dramatise each event we are involved in now.
The "poor kid" was given the opportunity to be an AFL player well before any other club knew anything about him. He can now be picked up as a delisted free agent. Now an average Joe like me wasn't aware of that but NOT ONE AFL 'journo' had the knowledge or had done any research that this was the case & it's all there in writing as proof that they are mostly all incompetent to be writing about AFL. They have no more qualifications than any of us do on here where we are learning about things as we post.

From thr games I saw him play, all on stream, I thought him a bit inconsistent. He could be an absolute star one match and then hardly sighted the next week. He showed he had plenty of ability but he needs to get consistency into his reportiore

BARRETT: The inside story of the Daniher debacle
The problems for Joe Daniher were many and varied long before he was spotted drinking coffee with Tom Harley
www.afl.com.au
According to Barrett the Swans had no prior knowledge Danniher was going to nominate us.
Don’t know what happened to ‘what happens ..... stays private’ among players. Tomlinson and his ‘trout mouth’ mates are grubs.BARRETT: The inside story of the Daniher debacle

Why would Giants officials approach AFL HQ because one of its players spotted Danniher with Harley? It's either petty or Barrett mayo.
Hahahahahaha. Nice segue
