Ok. Fair.How much are you willing to pay for a bloke that's about to be delisted
Eh. You can all be negative and talk up our opponents chances and how hopeless we are.
I’ll concentrate on our superb drafting record and the fact that despite all these others teams winning trade periods and us coming up short resulted in us making a Grand Final whilst most of the others watched from home. No reason not to trust our list management team.
If top players won’t come to us at reasonable prices then I am more than happy to continue with the current strategy which absolutely seems to be moving us in the right direction.
Cats have to recruit younger players. They’ll cliff eventually if they don’t.Haven’t been negative on us , just don’t wanna sit back and watch others pull of best 22 players. Shits me
We were Miles short and doesn’t mean we are back there next season
Cats just won by 81 and recruiting still
Under the AFL's future trading rules clubs must use two first-round picks at the NAB AFL Draft over a rolling four-year period to ensure they aren't able to swap selections and trade themselves into long-term list strife.Don’t clubs need to use two first round draft picks over a 4 year period?
Last one was 2020, none in 2021. If they trade their firsts this year then surely they have to have one in 2023?
Could be wrong.
Re negative I am speaking broadly, not necessarily targeting this at you specifically Punts, just getting frustrated with some of the (repetitive) commentary in general here.

Sounds like the sort of rule they’d give discretion to a team like Geelong but not a team like the Swans (trade ban?).Under the AFL's future trading rules clubs must use two first-round picks at the NAB AFL Draft over a rolling four-year period to ensure they aren't able to swap selections and trade themselves into long-term list strife.
There is a clause in the rule that allows clubs to apply for permission to trade out their picks even if they haven't met the rolling two-in-four criteria. The AFL in that case would assess the quality and age of the players brought into the club for those first-round picks.
Yet both players have ended up in teams that didn't make finals while their former team made a GF.We lost a future brownlow medallist for unders.
We tool unders for aliir who went on to be an all Australian the very next year.
I know the club tried their hardest in the dawson deal but again we got bent over
Yer I bring it on myself most times , all goodRe negative I am speaking broadly, not necessarily targeting this at you specifically Punts, just getting frustrated with some of the (repetitive) commentary in general here. Sorry if you’re in the firing line
Yea they're bringing 7 inDon’t clubs need to use two first round draft picks over a 4 year period?

They won’t use it to obtain some of these players coming their way? I just assumed they would apologies if incorrect.Yea they're bringing 7 in
I think they will avoid it if possible. That's why they will try get henry and bruhn done first. Probably why there's a hold up on bowes nominating a team.They won’t use it to obtain some of these players coming their way? I just assumed they would apologies if incorrect.
Great article. Part 2 is here for anyone interested:This article is from 2017 but still relevant and a good read prior to this year's draft.
Inside Recruiting: Kinnear Beatson (Part 1)
In part one of our interview, Recruiting and List Strategy Manager Kinnear Beatson reveals the type of player his Swans’ recruiting team looks for and what aspiring young players should work on.www.sydneyswans.com.au
On Buddy type money when they already have Gawn. Weird.Pick 27 for Grundy
What a get
Tracca and Oliver must be on vfl wagesOn Buddy type money when they already have Gawn. Weird.
Time will tell….Grundys best maybe we’ll behind him…Pick 27 for Grundy and pies pay 300k of his money. Ridiculous win for melbourne
Wouldn‘t it be nice if he played like his highlight reel.
I havnt seen anyone rubbish the club. I've seen people have High standards for the club and expect more than two humiliations out of our last 3 grand finals.There's a couple of posters here who I am sure that even if we won the GF they would still give nothing but post after post of negativity. It really is so sad.
Hate to imagine what they'd be like if they followed North. Note, I say followed, as they are not supporters.
I know that everyone is entitled to say what they like when they have the security of anonymity, but I personally hate it when all they can do is rubbish the club that I love.
Thank God for the ignore option.
I reckon the Swans are being ultra aggressive in their efforts to capitalise on the strength of the list ..However I also believe the club should be ultra aggressive in their efforts to capitalise on the strength of the list
