I understand the need to have some time off over a bereavement. But I’m a bit bemused that a professional on >$1M can (if the media reports are correct) say “I don’t know if I want to play anymore” and his employer is fine with it.

I’d be VERY surprised if behind closed doors, Richmond’s public statements that he can basically just come back whenever he wants reflect what is really going on.

Im sure Richmond is doing everything they can to help - but they’d need clarity pretty soon.

Regardless, I wouldn’t be chasing a player who isn’t even sure they want to keep playing.

It's not realistic that he is coming to the Swans. All over red rover.

It's all noise. I'm more interested in who or if we're going to recruit from the Academy this year.

I think we will take a mid to replace Kennedy
I think we will take a rookie ruck to replace Naismith and Sinkers
Third pick would be Small forward/KPD/I don't know

I reckon Sheldrick is that mid for JPK.

I reckon Sheldrick is that mid for JPK.

By the sound of things we have a nice group coming out of the academy that cover a range of skills. King, Gander, Anderson and others, some already playing VFL. With 2 first rounders we will have lots of choices if we feel there is a gap. Best situation we have had in a long time I think.

Honestly, how hard is it for these journos to do their homework before publishing an article? It's their job for heaven's sake, just fact check!

I know this is incredibly benile, but please put a dash here like you did later on,

gave me a heart attack.

I still think we lack alot of class in the midfield. We desperately need a dual footed classy mid especially when the going gets tough.

Sounds like someone who has never had kids. They grow up and are pains in the arse. But some do pretty special things in life.

Let's see if they can bounce back before we start talking about what we need.
IMO, we missed hardness in the midfield way more than class last night.

Agree

More so a Dunkley type imo , absolutely smashed in contested ball

We've "only" brought in 6 mid capable players in the last 3 national drafts, including 3 last year (none of whom played last night). I feel like we've got bigger issues elsewhere (looking beyond the next 1-2 years), or at least areas where we haven't already spent up big on recently (and now have to wait for player development). I.e. in 1-2 years we lose Rampe, Hickey, Buddy, Reid and there's question marks over Melican, Amartey, McLean still. We've got the year to work out if BOC, Gould, Melican, Amartey, McLean, even Ladhams, are going to be best 22 in the medium to long term, but if not, there's our priority areas (although ruck may be helped out by King if he has a good final academy year and McAndrew who won't be a known quantity for another 2-3 years).

Grab Dale as a FA to replace rampe

Guy is a gun and a ripper kick

They don't grow on trees especially ones that get the Ball 30+ times. I mean I'm all for trading the farm for Sam Walsh...

Think long term this will be Gulden.

Reading the names of 3 and 4 made me twitch. If only we could combine the two into a contested mid who uses the ball well. Elijah Wardlaw or something.
