Your argument is based on absolutely zero evidence and frankly it's dangerous misinformation that needs to be erased. Of the 12 players to play for the Swans who have graduated from the academy (Heeney, Mills, B Jack, Naismith, Robinson, Wicks, Campbell, Gulden, Blakey, Bell, Hiscox, Foote) only...

Sydney probably don't have the same money to offer as say Essendon or Hawthorn but that's not to say that we are strapped for cash. The Swans could have made a very competitive offer for most of the key talls that were touted as 'gettable' this year. Barass, Himmelberg just to name a couple...

Phenomenal athletic base and was playing really well both inside and out as a midfielder in his draft year. Around this time Josh Kelly was dominating the competition so I think a lot of clubs were looking for those 'dynamic' hybrid midfielders.

The issue will be his manager using the 'former top 5 pick' line as a bargaining tool to drive his price up when negotiating a new deal at the Swans. It would be the Swans mistake to fall for it as paying overs for Dylan at this stage of his career would be very foolish in my opinion. I think...

I think most Swans fans would agree with you. Ideally I'd like another full season under Campbell's belt before we gave him more of Lloyd's responsibilities if the latter chose to leave but ultimately I'd be happy for the club to pay a loyal servant and consistent performer if it's not overs. We...

My guess is that Kinnear has almost complete autonomy with how the list is constructed at the Swans and with that comes little interference from Eddie McGuire types throwing their two cents in every other year, undoing all your hard work.

With the tough decision to let Hewett go and Dawson leaving quite unexpectedly with all that money on the table, I'm almost certain the Swans have the cap space to accommodate any rise in McInerney's value. By all accounts he seems truly invested in the club and you can see that with the way he...

Bloody Norf, he's been good the last few years when fit and available but his price tag did not match the output of his last contract. Not worried in the slightest of whether or not we retain him, it's just a matter of how much extra we have to pay to keep him.

I don't think that would be a wise decision for either party. I could only see Moore leaving for the Hawks if it was a North level offer that would be too good to refuse and that would be silly for Hawthorn to put on the table when they're in a complete rebuild. With De Goey's market value...

Yeah threats of the PSD are definitely the Crows speciality, can't disagree with you there. I think the Dalai Lama would even struggle flicking on any switches in your direction. But surely even you can't be serious? Ricciuto knew exactly what he was doing. "It’s certainly not the way clubs...

It's slimy because you have Ricciuto screaming one thing in the media and Reid peddling the complete opposite. If they were in unison I could appreciate it one way or the other but the inconsistency of it all is what's vexing. Reid was even interviewed earlier this evening stating that the PSD...

I get it now, you're just a troll.

Port did not handle the PR of this situation at all well. Swans knew from the beginning that they were gonna lose Dawson but we publicly fought like hell to ensure we didn't get shafted. Port practically walked Ladhams out the door...

Not if you have a particular mid in mind. The Swans and Port are probably looking for a player very similar in mind as well so at the very least you move ahead of us.

So if the Swans hold their position next year it comes to pick 50. Damn good deal for the Swans.

Well I ain't paying for therapy, I'll buy a paddle pop instead!

It's a free market that needs reform to ensure the investment made by clubs reflects the time, money and resources spent on developing talent. Under current rules, Adelaide has done nothing wrong but the slimy tactics publicly endorsed by your turd of a director Mark Ricciuto to assure the...

Mate, we are prime for the next decade. The talent and game plan are in sync and the list continues to grow with more and more home grown stars every couple of years. Even if we took a step back next year we have one of the most enviable young groups of performing players in the comp. The...

If you can't win the season, win the trade period. It's gotta last him 12 months.

Probably told him that Buddy is gonna line him up next year and to wear a head gear.

Ladhams and Burton for Sam Reid. Final offer!

I hope it's as good as this.

The problem is the gap between our primary and backup ruck with Sinkers never really being a stand out anyway and now he's well past even that. It also allows us to play Hickey fresh with the need for him to play every week not as dire. McLean is not an AFL ruckman and has never looked...

I don't think Port are prepared to offer him the same contract as the Crows. The Swans offer was only slightly less but had more years on the deal.

But what if Hickey goes down in the first round and is out for the season? It would be nice to have that insurance and an extra year for Ladhams to gel in our team if he's gonna be there anyway.

Maybe Ladhams and 17 for 12 and 39 but not 31.

Deja vu considering many Port posters said the same of Aliir last year. You know what, they weren't actually wrong...

Great post, would you want to keep all three rucks on your list though or use a second round pick on a fairly even draft?

It also has Liberatore rated as the fifth best player in the game so clearly stats tell one story...
