You can add property development inducements as another way clubs like Geelong can find ways to supplement incomes .Frank Costa and other associates were involved in a development known as Armstrong Creek outside of Geelong that proved to be quite lucrative for those who were invested.

Griffin Logue has the ability to play on tall/small opponents who is a player in the right age demographic who could develop nicely in our system. Can be viewed as a Rampe replacement who we need to replace soon.

Does not fit Geelongs age demographic , they might offer him a contract when he reaches his mid thirties.

No point keeping him if he doesn't want to develop his game at reserve level. Dawson was made to earn his spot and played many games developing in the seconds before establishing his spot at senior level. We could use Stephens as a lure to trade for a young key defender or ruckman from another...

Rowbottom hurt his knee early in the year & hasn't appeared right since. Wouldn't surprise if he's carrying the injury & has a clean up at year's end.

Its ironic that we might be struggling to re-contract players because we might be paying overs to keep Sydney based players like Heeney 800 k plus The main concept of having an Academy was aligned to player retention. We are now having to potentially pay more to retain Academy players ,which...

Dayne Beams alleging that C/ wood paid him outside the salary cap & the Pies claiming the AFL okayed it due to mental health reasons makes a mockery of the AFL forcing Sydney to keep Buddy's salary in our cap even if he was forced into retirement because of injury/ mental health.

Rotten luck 🤣,but I believe we can put Sam on the rookie list,then place him on the long term injury list and pick a replacement.

Wouldn't be surprised if the bloated campaigner schmoozes his way into a role on the AFL commission. His ego will not allow himself to go away quietly.

Could we give Naismith a break considering his injury and family bereavement ,our rebuild will take time and patience.The uncertainty regarding list sizes, salary cap etc during this unprecedented rebuild during a pandemic will not happen overnight.

Whilst it would be preferable to keep Papley at year's end and beyond,it would be imperative that we drive a hard negotiation. Melbourne clubs have bent us over for players returning to Victoria, while we've paid overs for players coming to Sydney.Carlton received 2 First round picks for...

The Tom Morris interview with Dylan was cringeworthy , because of the constant reference to Carltank. It appears both Adelaide and Carlton were hoping he would make it through, because the so called experts had no idea who we were targeting.

Awful feeling that we are being used as a negotiating pawn by player agents in order to get their clients better contract terms at our inconvenience.It is difficult to compete with high profile clubs who are able to offer third party deals within the media and have coterie groups of wealthy...

Serious test for our list managers ,because if we are going to develop this team,priority needs to be given to re-signing Dawson,Cunningham,Oriordan and Jones ASAP ! It would be disappointing if we lose these young cygnets ,especially when flogs like Brereton insinuate we will struggle to keep...

List management is complex,but when Nankervis left Sydney for opportunities elsewhere he was behind Tippett,Naismith and Sinclair.Toby ,with the benefit of hindsight has proven to be durable and consistent at the tiges and is one player we underestimated who we would value greatly as a...

You might be referring to an indigenous prospect Shaydn Close who was a highly rated small forward at under 16 level for NSW the same year as Nick Blakey. Unfortunately,has not been sighted since U16 rep footy,which is a shame because he was rated highly as a junior.

Not every player we potentially recruit will be a game changer.Brett Kirk would have a grasp of Sutcliffes ability during his time at Freo.He has played over 100 games,potentially providing defensive cover as a potential mature age rookie who is an upgrade on most of our delisted players.

Duryea could release LIoyd and/or Mills into the midfield and he has good kicking skills as well as being a free agent.Someone like Jeremy Finlayson from GWS would add depth to our big man stocks while Blake Acres could be targeted as part of the Hannebery trade.We recruited Mumford,Mcglynn and...

Terrible loss,but we need to accept we are a team in transition when you consider the fact we have around 10 players with less than 30 games experience.This was never going to be a Premiership year,especially after the loss of Reid,Melican and Naismith who are critical for team structure.A...

Reg has been a fantastic servant,but the match committee might have reached the conclusion that the pace of the game and matchups have passed Reg by.It happened to Ryan Okeefe and it will be interesting to see if the same conditions will apply to Kieren Jack when he becomes available.

Sydney must be regretting the loss of Mitchell,considering they used the Hawthorn pick to draft Ollie Florent,an inside/outside runner with good pace and skills.I would suggest the trade will be seen as a win for both clubs who traded for players they had a need for.

How are Sydney meant to compete in this VFL centric comp,when we are scheduled to play the Tigs at Etihad instead of the G.Is it any wonder interstate teams stand little chance in finals at the MCG ,considering this scheduling anomaly.

You could categorize Lloyd as a commodity which we bought low as a rookie who offers us an opportunity to sell high. This could happen if someone like ST.Kilda is prepared to offer a over inflated contract that could result in category one compo i.e -end of first round selection.Jake is a solid...

Possible ramification of Danes humorous aside,is that the VFL will institute a new trade ban that precludes Sydney from participating in the Rookie draft ,because of our lack of respect for Clarko and Gills tinder date.

Jake is a solid role player for the Swans who the coaches like because of his work ethic.However,he is not worth 500000 plus when you consider our lack of KP depth.Darcy Moore would be a necessary addition if we could pull it off.Furthermore, if a club pays overs for Jake,we would likely improve...

A supposed sex tape allegedly involving Pie legend Dane Swan is being offered to various media outlets.The cynic in me, is inclined to believe that this might be a potential ratings grab by the famous Fat Controller - EDDIE.Sex Tape and Footy show exclusive is a popular theme,especially if the...

Matt Stevic was pretty good for the Cats for the first 3 quarters,but faded in the last.

Starting to wonder if the newly appointed member of the VFL advisory group and newly eLected spokesman on erectile dysfunction Edward Mcguires first recommendation to the league was to insist that Matt Stevic umpire all our Melbourne away games.Good luck Swans !
