Not sure if this has already been posted, was listening to the Saturday rub yesterday, Brian Taylor saying something interesting about his nephew. Rowy to the Suns.

It’s not exclusively about what they do in a GF though. Big star forwards like
Curnow get your teams into the top four and deep into finals. That’s where you win a flag from.

I agree of course the game is prioritising having a band of small forwards and high forwards to form a dangerous forward line but there’s absolutely still need for tall forwards who can win contests in the forward line. Curnow is that.
Spot on.

What I really want to know today is who is the ‘insane get’ Bonz speaks about ?

It's just someone we have had a chat with, from sounds of things it's unlikely and more of a backup option if Curnow falls through (we really wouldn't be able to afford both).

Just mentioned it earlier more around the point that we are speaking with multiple players all around the league, not sitting on our asses like so many people here tend to believe.
 
Why do we need an "insane get" anyway? Surely there are some guns in teams such as Lions, Cats, Hawks or who can't break through that can make a big difference to our current line up. That's what set us up for 2012, with players such as Kennedy, McGlynn and Mumford who couldn't break into Hawks & Geelong respectively.
 
Regardless of where Curnow wants to end up, he'd be an idiot to publicly nominate the Cats. They have the least collateral of the teams apparently in the hunt and a "Cats or bust" request sacrifices any leverage he might have.
Being very poorly advised if that is the case. They want Marshall as their top priority as was witnessed by that trouncing Stanley / Blicavs received yesterday. They have no collateral as you say and any they do have is going into Marshall.

Unlike in those days, there are a lot of other clubs after those types now as well.

Rosas could be that player
Rather than small forwards and HHF's, I think its more midfielders who can kick goals, and forwards who can win their own ball and rotate through the midfield - Paps, Zac Bailey, Raynor etc.. Hopefully Rosas can do this. Datolli may well develop into that player as could some of this years academy kids

Still a fan of JUH - If he comes or not, the Swans have done their due diligence.
Curnow / Petracca would certainly improve our list, but at what cost in picks and salary cap and therefore draftees and experienced players

Just going through the Brisbane list and they have a lot of there players being picked in top 25 so the question comes back to you need at least 10 elite talent on your list and our poor recruitment over the last 10 yrs hasn’t allowed for us to be in that position and have more trophies which is the ultimate goal . So anyone who thinks that wasting top picks on a forward probably need to go look at history.
 
At least we have TRADE RADIO back!

It's pretty hard to pick up a no. 1 draft pick when you continually play finals. Brisbane bottomed out and picked up Rayner, McCluggage, etc as well as a couple of Ashcrofts and Fletcher through the FS.
I wouldn't blame our recruiters as such, but rather our past players for their woefully inept breeding program.

In fact, the only past player to take the program seriously produced a three-time premiership player - with two of those premierships coming against us!

LP2 is hyperventilating at the news.

🤣true
For anyone with time just go through our recruitment from 2016 through the draft and it will horrify you how bad we have gone .
