Byron Sumner has shown so little desire to be an AFL football over two seasons getting him traded to an Adelaide side is going to be lucky.

Left-field suggestions: Mark Austin and Jordan Russell from Carlton/Bullants. Austin is a much bigger bloke than I'd imagined and he's been looking pretty good up forward for the Ants the past few weeks. Russell seems out of favour at the Blues.
Anyway, just throwing 'em out there ...

The rumour is that Russell is GWS bound and that would explain his fall from favour.
Malceski to GWS ?
At the last two finals, a few people have heard that Mal is going to GWS. This would not surprise given his treatment near the end of the season.

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
Wasn't he injured and contracted?
But, wouldn't be surprised if he is GWS bound though, you would have thought he was clearly in our best 22, if he wasn't injured.

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
If this means that have their allocated Swans player and Sam Reid and Gary Rohan are off the table for 2013 than a dirty little rat I am.
I'd take it.

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
I don't think he can get any better, so i would look at it.

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
It would suck but I have to agree.
Anyone know his contract status? Pretty risky move by GWS if true with all his knee problems.

That was only the reporters opinion as we want players with good skills, then it said Gilbee was 30 and Hill would not be tough enough for the Bloods.

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
If Port continue to play hard ball with Brogan, it's more likely to be Mark Seaby

An article in The Age says we might be looking at Lindsay Gilbee and Josh Hill! WTF?
Dogs must think after we took Everittthat we'll trade for anything!
An article in the fairax press intimating the swans are keen on trade week
as to the bulldogs pair all it said was
http://www.smh.com.au/afl/sydney-sw...ye-trade-and-talent-tweak-20110917-1kf0x.html
not actually putting any fact to the story the swans are interested. just mentioning they are out of favour at the dogs and making it appear were interested by simply creating association of his own opinion in the article.
For opinions sake.
Hill: No, too lazy and we have a lazy medium sized forward already.
Gilbee: Are we hunting a flag next year? a fit and switched on Gilbee is sort of player to beat a press. If Malceksi is on his way out the door would consider.
Overreaction on my part.
Hill - will more likely get delisted by dogs than be traded.
Gilbee - 2 years ago yes, now no.
If GWS have signed someone from us already (Malckesi, Seaby, TDL) then I have no problem looking to trade other players in but if they havn't then we're going to need all the cap space we can get to keep Reid.

Despite essentially having a similar result to last year I believe we have improved, as shown by the contining emergence of our younger players. However we are still not top-four and I further believe we need more of the "x" factor: to get there before the heavy demands on Goodes as our continuing 'catalyst' takes its toll.
We really need more class in the KPP's especially in the forward line. You get that more slowly by development (Sam RIED) or by trading (Barry Hall). When you have little to trade you need to take calculated risks (Fev is not a caluclated risk!).
Seaby cannot get a regular game with us but as the Richmond match showed he can still play damn good football. Possible offer to GWS if Port continue to play hard-ball with Brogan.
If Adeliade play difficult with Tippett maybe we could sound them out on White. He is good for us but plateaued this year. He may improve with constant games but he may not.
I think calculated risks would be to go for players with known high abillity but serial under-achievers. If the price was within limits I would chase Michael Johnson from Fremantle and Scott Gumbleton from Essendon. Josh Hill could be looked under the same methodolgy. These are examples and bigfooty members undoubtably could name others and reasonably argue against the basis of my thinking.
It is based upon playing to our strengths which is our culture and proven ability to turn some players around. It is also based on the fact that you can teach a player skills and knowledge and give him motivation, but you can't give him natural talent.

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
If that happens, I'll be happy for Seaby as he finally gets to be a club's first ruckman and even happier that, like CAS said, Rohan, Reid and others aren't taken away from us.

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
I saw that too. But can someone source me somewhere other than the Warnambool Standard?

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
Yes.
Rohan and his family, including admiring young cousins and Rovers juniors Corey and Brayden Hawkes, might be separated for a while longer yet as the versatile Swan recently signed off on a three-year deal
http://www.standard.net.au/news/loc...es/gary-rohan-nears-swans-return/2238735.aspx
EDIT: DW didn't know that was the weird warnapodsa isuhd stand thingo. I think he was mentioned alongside 4 other Swans who signed in passing in some article though. On the Swans website.

Don't think Russell is going anywhere and if he is we'd expect something reasonable in return considering he's a good player and contracted. Austin is on the outer and could be gotten on the cheap of you want, possible delisting. Has been injured mostly this year.

Nope, don't think he would til 2012 to bolster his leverage.
Regardless I am rather confident in keeping his service, no idea why but eh.
Also carlton will be in a line behind GWS and a few others if he was to go

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
I have heard this rumor as well...
Does anyone know if he played for the reserves on the weekend? (Or was he a traveling emergency?)

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
It be sad to see Eski go if true, he missing out on the 05 Granny being an emergency, but if he can get into playing some great footy at GWS, be great for footy

Re: Malceski to GWS ?
I strongly believe this might be the case as he played seconds yet was supposed to be injured.
Based on form, Malceski plays ahead of Kennelly in those last few games every day of the week.
Something's up!
Expect more 'shocks' as we are the team most likely to lose players because the transition & relocation wouldn't be as big a deal, but the money on offer & security would be too great to refuse.
With 2 knee injuries, we may have seen Mals best.
