Not allowed to say i've a source , but i was told it was done and then nothing has happened which they find strange. As i posted it might be a debate over money.

I don't mind if we really rate him, to give him a little bit more than a rookie wage, but it's up to him to show he's worth more and can be rewarded with a new deal in time. I'd be surprised if he wants a lot, and I'd be telling him he can look elsewhere if he was.

"The Pre-Season Supplementary Selection Period (SSP) will operate as per 2020 but will not commence until January 6, 2020 and conclude prior to the start of the 2021 Toyota AFL Premiership Season."
We legally can't sign him until January the 6th.
But he can train and play in intraclub matches with us.

He has a lot to prove. I don't see clubs lining up to take him. He may have better offer elsewhere in the VFL or other leagues.
Sometimes you need to take a step back to take 3 steps forward. I sense this is his opportunity. He can gain exposure and prove his worth ot not. To haggle over money at this stage of his development as an AFL player is absurd.

When was the last pick 1 the swans had on the list?
I never said haggle or a problem , just could be part of the discussion that's all . I will be very happy if we pick him up , players like him don't fall out of trees . The good thing is that we have a spot if we go ahead with him

Hasn’t shown anything at afl level other being a bust number 1 pick
has a a lot to do to cement a spot

Darren Gaspar, 1993, then delisted 1995
Delisted or traded to Richmond?
I was 9 at the time, and barely just become a Swans fan, but Wikipedia tells me he turned down an offer and got picked up by the Tigers in the PSD. And the other place I got the Pick 1s from said Delisted too.
You youngsters have got the Google on your computer. I probably should have looked it up but all I remember is that he couldn't wait to be out of the Swans and back to Melbourne. See also A. Rocca and S. Grant.
Gasper was from WA !
True. The point was that he couldn't wait to be gone and back to a football state.
So the google machine has age restrictions now?!!
That seems harsh …

Aye. I am fond of my abacus and version of a tablet is sturdier.
Somehow got Maxfield in the same pre-season draft in 1996 tho when Gaspar left us, so all was well.

I heard Gen X author Douglas Coupland talk about the concept of "Stu-art" (stupid & smart at the same time) which he defined by the statement "I'm really rather clever but my wifi isn't working at the moment".

I'm leaving this here because it was genius but also so I can explain to future posters....

Please show each other respect. We do a lot of tidying up (removing posts) that many of you probably don't realise. We do so usually because the offending posts are off topic or part of an ongoing tit for tat between posters. If a poster annoys you then step away for a tic & take a breath... it's an online footy forum. Agree to disagree (or report the post if it needs it) & move on. Try to enjoy yourself, engage with a positive mindset & let's all support the greatest club in the world!
Up the mighty Bloods!!

Meanwhile I am really looking forward to what Paddy can do next year. While the Club talks him up as an option back and forward, I see him as a backman. Last year he talked about how playing down back was easier for him. That stuck with me and if we pick him up I hope he is a rusted on KPD

I really wanted them to play him in the backline at the saints after the first few concussions because it just seems easier for a defender to protect his head, I guess drafting him as a number 1 pick key forward meant we couldn't put him up back without looking stupid. I really hope he kills it even though St Kilda fans were reamed on his drafting and will give us all kinds of crap if he comes good. Good luck to the fella and hope he doesn't get any more concussions

Well said. Paddy pretty much said the same as you about playing in the backline early this year. He played bloody well in the 2s as a KPB. Has footy IQ and a decent skill set. Pretty sure the entire footy community wishes him as well as we do.
