Me thinks that the good buddies, Roosy & Rossy, are playing mind games with some of their players in order to snap them out of it & pull their heads in next year.
Probably playing the media too!!
However, they COULD also be fairdinkum. One thing is for sure. Because both would have full respect & admiration for each other, neither would do a deal unless it was win/win for both parties!!
There could also be a salary cap issue with a few players. Jude could probably get far more money elsewhere & knowing Roosy, he would want Jude to get his full value from another club rather then squeeze his contract down in order to pay other younger, required players.
Trading players is often about restucturing players income to the best possible scenario for both player & club.
It's romantic to have all these players playing out their careers at the Swans but it can't possibly happen without a few of them taking pay cuts.
In order to keep an up & coming STAR like Malceski, the spendula required must come from others & since we haven't got anyone that retired at this years end, then it is very feasible that Roos has a problem fitting all these p'ship players into the cap.
It's happened elsewhere after a p'ship. Whatever opposition supporters may think & however many of our players are underated by others that have no idea, the smart coaches of other clubs start snooping around knowing full well what the salary cap circumstances may be at other clubs.
Now Rossy Lyon WILL win a p'ship with the Saints in the next few years & he knows full well what the Swans problems with the cap would be!!
He also knows what type of player is required to get him the ultimate glory as a coach.
Things are not always as they seem!
Games are played & hard decisions have to be made.
So Scneids........Buchanan..........it's off to the Saints, or the Pies, or the Blues.......or the Dogs....................OR............................stay with your mates..............................FOR LESS!!!!!!!!!!
Take it or leave it!!
That's life in the AFL today! But if you give your all & perform for us week in & week out, then you get a new increased contract!
That's just the way I see things panning out here.
They may all very well stay at the Swans in 2008, but perhaps they are the ones being sounded out as needing to take a pay cut in order to stay.
Smart men......................Roosy & Rossy me thinks!!
