Darcy will eventually go CHB or CHF anyway for them.

Are you talking Sean Darcy at Freo or Sam Darcy at Bulldogs?

 

[Membling]

Well hasn't this thread gone quiet..

No one wants to talk about draftees

No one wants to talk about draftees

I know, its really annoying.

i wouldn't mind a player or two for our backline, Rampe & Fox aren't getting any younger. Lachlan Rankin I feel has some great potential but we need a few more.

Seems an odd statement if it’s Sean, don’t think he can play any other position outside of ruck.

Sam. He plays everywhere. Liked him in defence actually

Hustwaite, Weedle, Keeler Szybkowski and Busslinger (likely need to trade up) around or first

Bevan, Gilbey, Teal, Michalanney, Verrell and Edwards would be nice in second round and later.

I've liked the look of Busslinger just not sure he's going to be there for our pick.

Top 10 minimum I would think. Has looked good both defending and attacking.

Been looking more into Hustwaite and really think we should take a chance on him. Boom or bust recruit but we have two firsts currently.

Verrell would be an astute pick up late

Could potentially package those two firsts to trade up.

I thought he might, but since we’re playing Melbourne in this year’s GF, we only have 17 & 18 (or 18 & 19 if the AFL takes pity on Norf).

? Not sure that Jackson is a forward, and Darcy can only ruck. He would be a big bullocking ruckman with a physical presence (a bigger Mumford?) that could be ideal for our squad and the SCG.

I would happily give up one of our first round picks this year (+ a little more) for Darcy. Already been in the AA squad, only 24 which is quite young for a ruck.

Ladhams + Darcy would have one moving on to be first ruck.

This might sound incredibly dumb, given what an obvious talent Jackson is (not to mention he's from WA), but I don't think he's what Freo need. They have Darcy who is a quality young ruck, and Jackson at best could be even better, at worst be very solid back-up/second ruck. And whilst I think Jackson can play forward, he's not the answer. They need a 45-50 goal a season forward, and badly. Is Jackson that? I'm not so sure. He might be, but at something like a million a year, they'd want him to be. Otherwise their recruitment of Jackson could end up compromising their ability to recruit that 45-50 goal a season forward they desperately need.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

If Freo feel they are in their window, should they go for Buddy?

Back to us, I think our priority is to keep our cap under control so that we can keep as many of our current young crop as possible. In my time as a supporter, I can't recall us having so many guys in the 18-25 bracket who are threatening to go elite. It's so exciting moving into the future and I can see the potential for a Swans dynasty if we can keep them together.

Agree with that. But hey, if a opposing team want to compromise their list development who am I to disagree.

They need a tall forward. They keep playing Louge there but their forwards are a real weakness and it'll only get worse when Lobb leaves.

Buddy is exactly what Freo need

Need to lose a few kg.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

I’m always really impressed when 17 year olds get promoted to the WAFL seniors and perform.

If the Swans decide a small forward / utility is a need - Jed Hagan could be our man.

Did nicely at the national champs & then jumped into the WAFL seniors last week …. racked up 20 disposals, 5 tackles + a couple of sausage rolls (despite being a little bloke at 73kg).

Huge tackle counts are a consistent feature of his game stats.

There’s a few other highly rated WA draft prospects playing WAFL - but in the reserves. Hagan has gone straight into the firsts.

He’s been captain of the East Freo colts & the Swans do like youngsters with leadership traits.

I have a mate connected to the East Freo club who reckons he’s an absolute jet.

Don’t be surprised if he appears on Twomey’s lists at some point.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I never like the word “utility”, I much prefer a set position, especially with high end selections

 

[Tedeski]

All waiting on Buddy I think. That will make a huge difference if he goes/retires.

Apparently bought a place in Queensland.

 

[Superstar swan]

Apparently bought a place in Queensland.

Tbf it's reported they bought the place in 2019 for 800k.

Must be nice to be able to have enough cash laying around to buy an 800k get away apartment in another state. Extra 300k a year needed to buy a new luxury range rover for school drop offs

Generally the position they play U18 may be no relation to where they end up. Look at our own team. Blakey & Florent are now down back, as are Paddy & Tom. Teddy & Reg ... the list goes on.

Whilst true to some degree we are talking prime selections here. If we need a defender get one, need an outside mid get one. These utilities give me huge red flags as they do a bit of this, bit of that but are never great at anything

 

[Superstar swan]

All the best defenders are failed forwards
