there was a sydney player once, many years ago, from memory dawson was his name ... had family links to ... ummm, adelaide? but he assured sydney he was staying ... it's all a bit foggy now, can't recall how it turned out ...and North supporters already love us.
I said this 4 weeks ago and was ridiculed.I think the elephant in the room regarding our list is the ruck. Hickey looks to be on his last legs and I doubt he can go beyond the end of next year, as good as he's been. Sinclair is past it, likely to retire. Naismith is broken and at 30, if we re-sign him, we have rocks in our heads. McAndrew is raw, looks promising but seems to spend big chunks of time out of action due to injury already. Not too sure how robust the stringbean is. Which really only leaves Ladhams as last man standing. As promising as he is, Pete is a bit of a loose cannon, hence why Port were happy to see him walk.
With all that, I think we need to sign a ruck. Not break the bank on a Grundy but I think Meek could be a possibility given Freo are getting Jackson or one of Flynn or Briggs, especially if GWS land Grundy.
Say Hi on here and you offend someone. No wonder some don't post anymoreI said this 4 weeks ago and was ridiculed.
Not sure why, another ruck makes perfect sense. It's just a matter of whether we recruit via the draft or trade. We could make a bid for Madden the GWS academy ruck.I said this 4 weeks ago and was ridiculed.

HF: Hayward - McDonald - HeeneyMax King must be pretty pissed off at St Kilda for rejecting Matthew Lloyd's offer to help him with his goalkicking. If he is unhappy with them, he'd be more than welcome to come to the Swans instead.
This board melts about our goal kicking enough without introducing King and his epic yips.Max King must be pretty pissed off at St Kilda for rejecting Matthew Lloyd's offer to help him with his goalkicking. If he is unhappy with them, he'd be more than welcome to come to the Swans instead.
As for Horne-Francis, he has a bit of an attitude problem at North. A change of scenery away from the media spotlight could do him the world of good. He'd be more than welcome to come to the Swans instead.
Oh and Tarryn Thomas? Another highly talented kid who is disgruntled with North. A fresh start could be just the thing he needs. He'd be more than welcome to come to the Swans instead.
Use any draft picks necessary to acquire the above three. All under 22s. Rebuild complete. Now where do I sign for our list management job?
No thanks. High priced (in salary & picks), crap kick of the footy. Why would we want him?HF: Hayward - McDonald - Heeney
FF: Amartey - King - Papley
With Gulden, Clarke rotating through... Geez we'd be tough to beat in the air
Can't see Hayward being anything but a medium forward.Don’t need anymore mid sized forwards obviously unless they turn Hayward into a mid but I really like that Ollie Henry
I think medium forward is the hardest position to fill. Not tall enough for the big guys and to tall for the smalls mopping up.Can't see Hayward being anything but a medium forward.
He feels destined to be that one player in every premiership team who opposition fans forget was part of it, but it matters little what opposition fans will think if he just keeps turning up and putting in his 1-2 goals and contributing to a few others.
I have my qualms with him but he's been held goalless only twice this whole season, which is the kind of consistency he needs since he'll likely never be prolific.
All mediocre or too old.4 players who can play ruck is enough.
We'll have Ladhams, Hickey, Reid and McAndrew on the list with Amartey and McLean able to pinch in if needed. I wouldn't be bringing in another ruck when we're thin in other areas.
Agreed Rusty. I watched him closely in our game against North. He was great on receiving some exit kicks and further down the line. As you said, he has sticky hands and I think he's been playing very well for us.I think medium forward is the hardest position to fill. Not tall enough for the big guys and to tall for the smalls mopping up.
He has sticky hands, he marks at the highest point, he hammers guys in tackles, he chases and has times where he goes from contest to contest. He is a two way runner and helps out in defense.
Very underrated on here. Star.
Reid and Hickey will be both gone in 2 years. Rucks take time. Now is the time to get more.4 players who can play ruck is enough.

100% agree!Reckon we need to sign Gould
We gonna see him play seniors at another club a regret it

He's running out of players too.Ralph carr tweeted a post about dusty and tagged afl nsw ....must be running out of clicks
May be worth bumping up his pay in good faith that his opportunity is comingI hope we sign Gould but I have a feeling he is already out of here fir opportunity
Can’t wait fir rampe
