[SwansLifer]

Found the exact moment JackBet was closed down today.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Jiath is up for trade. I'd turn him into a Mid. He has the agility, big body, strength, pace, and he uses the ball well. He is one of the most athletic footballers out there.

Just no. Panics like no tomorrow turns it over like no tomorrow

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Just no. Panics like no tomorrow turns it over like no tomorrow

So much like us in a Grand Final? Welcome aboard Jiath

 

[Bloods86]

Does this mean we're back to where we started with two 1sts + Hayward and Florent?

Ugh, hopefully 1 x first if you're getting Hayward and Florent.

 

[ashep]

They are professionals being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to do a sport they love.

I think they are fine.

Correct, Hayward will be fine.

Doesn't change the fact that it would be shitty to listen to your club try to convince you to maybe accept a trade while you're on holiday.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah, maybe, in a few years time. We would be lucky if one of them has an impact in year 1. King may take a couple.

If you're going in on a player like Curnow because you're contending, you don't want to be relying on kids to fill Best 23 roles (in this latest variation Hayward).

Rowbottom to the Hayward role just have to find a Mills replacement down back. Alternatively we look at going one slightly smaller up forward (extra small forward) fine in theory but in practice who knows

It’s basically Hayward only, Florent is a salary dump for a better word

I don’t need more players to pull my hair out

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Carlton are really keen on Hayward per John Ralph latest tweet.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hayward looks like the circuit breaker

 

[FreeAgent1]

We are placing a lot of expectations in 2026 on players yet to be drafted..

Still this is probably the plan, could be $$$ saved and added Curnow.

Type of risk we need to take

As we expected. That was the domino to get CC it had to be Hayward

Rowy's a lesser mark and having him as an outlet option a) doesn't sound good and b) doesn't use his strengths.

How much hair do you have left to shed?

Not to Carlton he's not, even if you consider him useless.

 

[crankygeese]

who takes haywards tackling pressure?

Cleary is probably the best bet 3.3 tackles a game is above average. Campbell is 3 tackles per game so not bad either.

Hannily and Bowman both have chances to establish themselves if they can show they can apply pressure and lock the ball in.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Not to Carlton he's not.

It basically is, sure he may get a game but they are taking his hideous contract off our books

 

[LukeParkerno1]

who takes haywards tackling pressure?

Young kid but might be Jesse Dattoli

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How much hair do you have left to shed?

Hey!

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

who takes haywards tackling pressure?

No need expecting Curnow to get a free every time it goes inside 50

 

[Bonz]

His here

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Hey!

I’ve got plenty still, will donate you some

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Get it Done Pav

A first, Hayward and Florent, who will be Best 23, is plenty.

 

[SwansLifer]

I'm still of the opinion either getting Curnow or not I don't mind either way and if it means Ollie and Hayward are out that's ok. Hate to see Hayward go though. However if that does indeed free up around $250-300k I would be interested in what the Swans can also do next FA. Adams will be off the books so it could be a big acquisition. So it might not just be about this deal overall.
