Cumming is and was best 22 until he got injured. And he was playing well too.Big preseason and Cumming is every chance to be in the best 22 and Savage is a fine safety net while Suckling who will be 33 next year is well and truly cooked.
Sheridan replacement, not really sure it's a pressing need....
He's probably better on a wing than in defence though
Where’d you hear that?Also I'll put it here, I'm sure most of you already have heard but there's strong talk we're interested in Jack Ginnivan, a really smart and crafty General Forward/ Midfielder from Bendigo Pioneers, so it would seem we are looking at needs for our two later picks at the very least
Just because I have no idea... who are the people in the know? I’d be keen to hear what else they have to say.Just what's being repeated by people that would know, can't claim to have heard it from either of the horses mouths
Pretty sure I heard Twomey mention it, and on the draft board somewhere, but can't pinpoint exactly who off memory aloneJust because I have no idea... who are the people in the know? I’d be keen to hear what else they have to say.
I also agree. The other thing we need to do is not then extend their contracts at a ridiculously high level like with Aiden BonarAnd to follow on I agree with Giant Strides, which I think I've said a lot recently, that 3 picks between 10-20 is going to be better than 1 top 10 and 1 closer to 20, after Hollands and McDonald those open range players from 4-11 are close and then 12-30ish is close again
I also agree. The other thing we need to do is not then extend their contracts at a ridicuosly high level like with aiden bonar. It would be great if draftees had to sign a 3:year initial deal.PLAYERCARDSTART16Aiden Bonar

This would be excellent if they are fair dinkum about the draft being the primary equalization tool.First rounders should be a minimum 3 year contract with a "non-negotiable" fourth year trigger (e.g. 10 games first year, 25 games by year 2 or 40 games by end year 3). There should also be pay increment or games bonuses in that 3-4 year contracts so young stars are rewarded sensibly for playing.
Second rounders should be a minimum 3 year contract without the fourth year triggers.
Third round and onwards happy with a 2 year contract.
This would also sharpen recruiters somewhat.
Good discussion.
Can anyone see us bringing in any more mature players? Anyone heard anything?
If I was Leon I’d be getting in at least a couple of depth players.
Unless we see a dramatic performance turnaround from this side I reckon Leon could be gone by halfway through the season.
We also have a deadline of early in the season for Kelly with regard to his extension.
Things go badly and he won’t hang around I wouldn’t think.
What are your thoughts on Gulden in terms of what he'd bring to us? I had probably thought similar to you - pick him up with maybe that pick #20 (which will obviously slide later) & if Campbell required an early match Swans might choose not to match and hence avoid a penalty in next year's first round - but I've probably cooled on him a touch. Mainly in terms of what position he's suit at the next level.If we are actually interested in a player like Ginnivan wouldn't mind us making a bid on Gulden with our current pick 15 as after listening to Kinnear Beatson on the road to the draft got the impression there is a chance they wouldn't match if a bid came prior to the second round.

I reckon the prevailing view amongst our posters is we back in our multiple picks in the teens and early twenties.Good afternoon - I come in peace
I was just curious as to your clubs approach to this year's draft.
Are you happy with the multiple, later first round selections given the compromised nature of this year's youngsters and the established talent that you've lost throughout the Trade and FA period, or are you looking to (as you've done several times before) to move significantly up the draft order?
I reckon the prevailing view amongst our posters is we back in our multiple picks in the teens and early twenties.
Our recruiters over the last few years have been great. We’ll back them in to get a couple of kids who can work their way in.
