How many other CEOs are there discussing the trades? None,it is all football department heads, from every single club. Why would the Swans be any different and have Harley speaing instead of Gardiner?

You are completely irrational when it comes to Tom Harley. Did he run over your dog?
He initiated the Daniher situation. He’s been dishonest about the situation and he’s just a shit talker.
 
Kingy actually said something I thought was sense....regarding the Bombers request for a replacement player for Joe...words to the effect of if the Swans had a replacement to trade for Joe, they wouldnt need Joe would they?

Brisbane's 2018 % was in the high 90's. Nobody expected them to rise to the top 4 this year. A few good young blokes that would make a good fist of it and maybe make the 8.

Our % was 97 this year.

I'll take your point, Brisbane have some stars, but ask me that in 2018 and that list of stars would have been half the list I have now.

Jones is the only 21-25 yr old I saw as replaceable. That bloke isn't going to win you a flag.

The rest are locked in, with a few more on the way.

I reckon we doing alright. Imagine being hawthorn, Carlton, Port Adelaide - who traded in and fukt it up..

Brisbane also addressed key needs at the end of last year. We didn't do shit in the end.
 
Can’t attract them in 18 and don’t get it done in 19

More players wanting out

See what 2020 brings and more wanting out then coming in os my bet
We lost 2 players this trade period. 1 for more opportunity because we didn't play him and the other was always going.

We got 1 player back

Daniher and Papley cancel each other out.

Don't see how that's more players wanting out. Don't be shocked if we get Daniher next year. Doesn't sound like we were the issue in getting him either.
 
If we have as much cash as we apparently do I'd have tried to find a way to do more than Taylor for Jones while keeping a disgruntled Papley on the list.

And this has been the problem for clubs like Fremantle, Carlton and Melbourne over the last 10 years.

They have traded for the sake of it to use their cash, even when it doesn’t make sense or overall add to their list.

You pick your specific targets and if that doesn’t come off you go to the draft until the right target comes along again.

Sorry, got confused when you mentioned next season being a "write off".

What do you think losing papley would have done to the forward line? Kept us in contention, enabled two of the best forwards to make us better, or just.. Made us a write off?

i think daniher is class player, rare in this league


however knowing 5 and 9 wouldnt have been enough confirmed by gardiner then stuff it


i just wish we had a more active trade period

Carlton and Melbourne have had plenty of early draft picks and there have been plenty of howlers.
 
In all honesty I don't see a lot of tantrums thrown.

It is pretty meh.

I might go the Horse thread and start a barny there. This is pretty mild.


should we start something here
 
No it’s not, it peaked last year and in 2020 and then comes down by almost half in that 3rd year.

Nah pretty sure it peaks in 2021. Something like $1.5m iirc.

Honestly can't believe all this is over Joe Daniher haha.

Also if the Papley story is true re: already moving to Melbourne then that's just plain ******* stupid on his behalf, nothing was guaranteed, he knew that.

Its more how drawn out and pathetic it was, i have no idea why anyone would wanna trade with Essendon.
