    No Oppo Supporters Lewis traded to Melbourne

    Absolutely. NFL thinking needs to come in to the AFL system and Clarko is pioneering that. I've never heard an NFL player talk about the "go home factor". They go anywhere in the USA where they can get on a roster and get paid. I'm sick of the AFL players going on about being "homesick" and...

    No Oppo Supporters Lewis traded to Melbourne

    Can I say as a Swans fan how impressed I am with the way that Clarkson runs the football club. Moving Mitchell on and potentially Lewis is bringing NFL thinking into the AFL. I think Clarko is being mentored by Bill Bellicheck. I'm over the romantic nature of AFL clubs holding onto older...

    No Oppo Supporters Sam Mitchell traded

    I only wish that Sam Mitchell had some connection with the Tom Mitchell trade. I would love Sam Mitchell at the Swans. The 2nd quarter that San Mitchell played in the 2014 GF was the best quarter of football I've ever seen from an AFL player. I wonder if Harley and Horse are asking each other...

    No Oppo Supporters Sam Mitchell traded

    Pick 33 will be good for the Hawks. Mitchell with his soft tissue issues would only have given the Hawks around 15 games in 2017 and would have most likely retired without any ongoing draft benefit for the Hawks. Now you have pick 33. Luke Parker was drafted at pick 40. You make find another...

    No Oppo Supporters Sam Mitchell traded

    Andrew Luck is brilliant and has more than replaced Manning at the QB position. The Colts don't have a coach like Bellicheck. The Hawks will be fine as Clarkson is undoubtably the Bellicheck of the AFL.

    No Oppo Supporters Sam Mitchell traded

    I'm an opposition supporter, but I've been waiting to make this post for years. Alistair Clarkson is a master class and now he has brought NFL thinking into the AFL. It's totally acceptible in the NFL to trade legendary franchise players to other clubs when they get to Sam Mitchell's age...

    List Mgmt. 2016 Trade/Free Agency Part 4 - Toby Nankervis asks for trade to Richmond

    And tell me about the Tigers most recent GF appearance I've been hoping Tom Mitchell would get traded for two seasons. He is an inferior player to Isaac Heeney. 20 possessions from Isaac is better than 35 from Mitchell. Add to that we have Mills (Rising Star Winner) who is also an inside...

    List Mgmt. 2016 Trade/Free Agency Part 4 - Toby Nankervis asks for trade to Richmond

    Paying the big money for Tippett and Franklin has done wonders for the Swans. We now have 56 thousand members and have made the GF twice in three years. We are the biggest sporting club in NSW.

    List Mgmt. 2016 Trade/Free Agency Part 4 - Toby Nankervis asks for trade to Richmond

    Nankervis is as good a prospect as Hampson at the same stage. You gave Carlton a 2nd Round pick for Hampson. I'm also throwing in a 3rd round pick as part of the deal.

    List Mgmt. 2016 Trade/Free Agency Part 4 - Toby Nankervis asks for trade to Richmond

    Let's talk a little business. What should the Swans get to give Richmond Toby Nankervis? I would send Nankervis and the Swans 2016 3rd round pick in exchange for Richmonds 2017 2nd Round pick. Deal?

    List Mgmt. Tom Mitchell nominates Hawks

    Congrats Hawks. Your a brilliant club and Tom Mitchell will be a good player for you. Now let's talk a little business. I think a fair deal for Tom Mitchell would be: - Hawks 2017 First Round. I predict the Hawks will make the Semi Final stage and be a 5-8 team in 2017. - Swap 2016 1st and...

    List Mgmt. OFFICIAL: Dangerfield + Pick 50 for Picks 9, 28 and Dean Gore

    Danger should be having a crack in the NFL. He should take a season out to see if he makes it. I think he has the pace and power to have an impact on the NFL. I see him being a Punter, Wide Receiver, Cornerback or Safety. The NFL commentators will love yelling Dangers name. He could sign a...

    Well done Cats. You guys are legends.

    Preview AFL Round 19-Geelong Cats vs Sydney Swans, Saturday 8th August 7.20pm, Simonds Stadium

    There is an amazing documentary on YouTube (ESPN Broke by 30). It looks at how 70% of NFL footballers are either broke or in financial stress within two years of retirement. The way those boys spend their money is outrageous. I've never heard of an AFL player " making it rain". Not even Buddy...

    Preview AFL Round 19-Geelong Cats vs Sydney Swans, Saturday 8th August 7.20pm, Simonds Stadium

    I'm going into bat for all AFL footballers. It's not a cushy job. It's a very difficult job. They are physically exhausting themselves and prematurely ageing their bodies. I'm 35 and can run on concrete and play with my 5 year old. Most AFL guys can't run on concrete post retirement and have...
