apparently buddy franklin has fallen out of favour with hawthorn and theres a fair chance of him playing else where next year.

would fit in perfectly to sydneys team.
No thanks. Drug abuser with lame sense of fashion.

I'll rely on the Swans recruitment guys to once again get very much for very little. If we can do a deal that nets us the Reiwoldt cousins plus Cloke & Buddy for TDL we'd be mad not to. Throw in Eddie Betts and Milne as crumbers in exchange for pick 47. F..k it, why not get the Dwayne brothers (Beams and Swan) from the Pies plus Reid for Jesse ? What about Pav ? He'll jump for nothing once we have the above combo. No way we can lose.

All that for White, TDL and a No. 47 draft pick ? Deal.

Not worth it as we would have nowhere to fit in Reid :p

Plus I really don't want to see quality players such as Cloke in our reserves... Need to give our youngsters a bit more of a chance to develop ;)

Doubt very much Adelaide would even consider trading him, particularly as Tippet is probably gone, but if the Crows did chase Cloke, the bloke I'd look at is Josh Jenkins. He's got one-grab hands, is very powerful and seems athletic too ... could be a star of the competition ... as I said, won't happen, but if he's maybe got any friends/family in Sydney ...

This is based almost entirely on speculation with a touch of inside knowledge, but the Saints have been putting off resigning Nick Reiwaldt all year.

I heard directly from a very very legitimate source who was with him a fortnight ago that he was extremely worried that an injury would end it. Now it's happened.

I was thinking that Sydney would be the perfect new home.

He'd play a bradshaw-esque role where we know he won't be playing every game all season, and he'll only be around for a couple of years, but he will fill that hole in experience while Reid and Morton develop.

Most importantly for Nick, he will be away from the hounds in the Melbourne media, plus his wife is a Texan with no ties to Melbourne.

If he's only on a 2 year or year to year contract salary cap shouldn't be an issue as most of players who's wage will ne skyrocketing have a couple.of years left on their current contracts.

Anyway, just something to speculate over on a Monday morning.


1 year too late...

How dare I speculate about footy on a footy forum.
To be fair.. I think their speculation is as valid as yours right? As much as I'd love to see Mr Skilton or Kirk pull on the guernsey again.. There's the reality of it.

Seriously though.. Have you not seen where the swannies are at ATM? Plus the fact I think LRT is doing a damn fine job too.
