Rumour Mill

No deal for McLean? Geez, i'm sure all Swans supporters are glad you'renot the recruiting manager.

don't listen to them....i'd be happy with mclean but happier with rivers or miller....

What about Nathan Jones? I rekcon he would be the one to have a go at if we are giving up pick 11. At least he has age on his side.

I did say I made a mistake in another post if you cared to read.

Nathan Jones would be a beauty at the Swans. I'm a big fan of him.

Seriously, if we trade Jolly and pick 11, and don't get Rivers or another top 8 player from the Dees, there's no chance i'll be buying a membership until 2009. Sydney couldn't possibly be that stupid!

 

[Footylover1]

I can't see Jolly leaving us surely. Isn't he close to re-signing with the Swans?

i posted before reading it, and i'm not having a crack anyway

don't sweat it, let's just move on from this disappointing season

I don't want any more older players at the Swans mate, I'm sick of it.

No worries mate. Like I said before, I'm sick of older players going to the Swans.

i generally agree...i'm just responding here to deadlyakkuret's comment about us "not being that stupid" by recalling some of the really stupid trading decisions we've made in recent years...admittedly we've done a lot better with many others, but unless the players in question are on the rise, i'm not really for recycling anyone from other clubs....

I guess i'm praying that we've learnt from our mistakes.

I'm happy with that trade "I see it, but i don't believe it!"

i hope people aren't pointing the finger at spider, he played some very good games for us this year and he played injured for a long time as we didnt have another ruckman to come in.

Midfield. Very very quick...

That he is but probably has the worst disposal in the competition. Wouldn't go anywhere near him.

I wouldn't worry about it, Hudson is committed to the Bulldogs. They're just sorting out the finer details.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

In my moments of weakness I allow myself to drool over the possibility of a midfield in the not so distant future comprising Goodes, Barlow, Dempster, Malceski and Murphy dominating in the air and spearing balls forward after being fed by Kirk, Schmidt and Amon.

I realise that included Murphy is a lot of wishful thinking but for a quintet of tall, ultra-athletes with pretty good skills, it would be hard to beat.

Is Murphy a certainty? I heard he was going to Brisbane, or that he was training with them I love that idea for a midfield though, would be scary!

Murphy is ours mate. He met up with the Swans for a week during the Round 21 game against CollingwoodI think Brisbane has some other Irish player.

i KNEW there was another one.....

Ahh well, according to the AFL website, it's a NO from Judd to Melbourne.

But seriously, how stupid would Sydney be to give up our Pick 11 + a premiership player for Johnstone who is 28 years old + another Demon player. It just doesn't make sense.

But Jolly is very close to signing with the swans for a 4 year deal. Hurrah!

 

[Schillo]

Although I would love to see Travis Johnstone at the swans in 2008 I'd hardly be willing to part with our 1st round pick for a guy who's almost 28. Surely we have more than enough guys pushing 30 on our list.

I think once the Swans put the magical 2mil figure (over 4 years) to Jolly he'll forget all about packing his bags and heading back to Melbourne....
