Steal I reckon
Not sure why some are upset by the Ladhams deal. We get a young player that the Swans obviously rate having chased him last year, and we only have to slip four places in the first round plus a minor pick. I would think that’s a clear win for us.

We’ve literally dropped 4 spots that’s it. People have to remember after the first round next year the rounds are useless will be used by matching bids. We’ve now got a genuine ruck post Hickey, and we might get a Sinn type at 16

Given the hand we were given with regards to Dawson I think our list management team has done a good job.
Got a first rd pick for an out of contract player, with the threat of the PSD hanging over our head.
And dropped down 4 spots in the first round in an open draft and gave up a 3rd rounder for a player who hopefully can hold down the ruck position for a number of years (and can play fwd if necessary in the interim).

Both Buddy and McDonald will need rests throughout the year. I reckon he's ahead of Reid after the latest injuries. Could actually end up playing a decent amount.
Keeping 16+31 looks okay imo. Did the best we could. Remember we were high on Ladhams this time last year. Like really high. And now he is a Swan. He sees himself as a #1 ruck for years and years here post-Hickey.
This is a great trade. I'm not even that into Ladhams but it's really dick all in the scheme of things.
I DO wish we had waited before signing Cal though lol.

Yeah I thought that - what is going on with Gold Coast then as they only have pick 3 this year? Do you know how that works?

The only bad thing is we’ve wasted signing Sinclair before signing Ladhams. But that’s a minor thing.
Cap room for next year
No doubt the Swans recruiters looked at the Dees performance in the grand final and having 2 ruckmen. And we want to find a way to at least compete with Gawn/Jackson in the ruck. They see that as a viable model. Lets see how it goes.
Van Rooyen or Goater in 2021.
Then we still hold two first rounders for 2022.

Great deal.
If the player we want is still on the board 4 spots further down, we’ve basically snagged Ladhams for nothing.
And if it looks unlikely that player will slide to 16, we can pick swap.

Everyone wants two Rucks when you have two good rucks.

Considering we traded for Hickey last year who was pushing thirty at the time to get a twenty three year old ruck who has played most of this season in a top four side I am pretty happy with the Ladhams trade and the price we paid.
Dawson trade was always going to suck but a first rounder next year is about as good as we could have got.
Agree that McLean barring anymore Buddy injuries might struggle for games , even as a chop out ruck he's very limited.
Might be bye bye Reid although I would be keen to give him a rookie contract for a year as cover. As much as I think he has been number one scapegoat for Swans fans for a while his goal kicking is now really putrid and add the injuries he is borderline on the list.

If Gibcus lasts to 16 he won’t be going past that pick.

So we've turned our future 3rd into a future 1st, at the cost of 12 for 16 and Dawson for Ladhams.
Given how bad the Dawson deal was in isolation that's really not a bad outcome overall.
