For all us Swans supporters that are pi**ed off right now, it'll be nothing like you'll be after reading this article;
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22571903-5006065,00.html

Inter alia Roos states"...You love all your players and it is very difficult, but I think at the end of the day it might be good for Schneids....We think him going to St Kilda might stimulate his career, so I though it was better for him to go. Rossy has been hounding me for a while to get Schneids."

"...We are mindful that our list is getting a bit older so it's good to have two more young kids coming in,.."

Roos admitted that Demspter became part of the Schneider trade as a favour to both him and Lyon...."Rather than hoarding players we want to make sure kids get a chance to play."

Well Rossy Lyon is happy, so obviously that's all that counts.

Since when have teams traded players away to futher their careers and WTF is Paul Roos talking about when he said we have 2 more young guys now. That is true but what he failed to mention is he traded away 2 younger guys to get them.

Holy ****... I didn't think it was real just some Melbourne speculation. I feel really bad for you blokes (I know that means stuff all, but I do). Just astounding that someone could make that trade... hope you get a bloody gun with that pick to at least make up for some of the hurt :(.

HAVE SOME FAITH YOU IDIOTS.

I'd be waiting until this time next year to say i told you so.

Since Paul Roos has been at the Helm we've finished 3-5-1-2-7 not one other side in the A.F.L has done better than us.

our percentage this season was second to only Geelong.

We had a lot of injuries last season, if we have them again we'll struggle again but it won't be because schneidermann and Dempster are'nt there.

Don't get me wrong i wish i were'nt reading this either but it's the way thjings are done now.

All the younger players we rave about should be getting a game well here's there chance

I love the Swannies, always have for as long as I can remember. Today leaves me with gutted feeling I had in 90's when we started making stupid decisions. Schnieder had his flaws as a player, true, But if there was a bloke who loved the club then Scneiderman was him. What has been great about the Swans of the last 10 years has been are ability to keep the players who are the heart and soul of our club, today we turned our back on one of them. I like Sean too, beautiful kick and the son of a former player, but I could of accepted him for pick for 26. It reminds of the silly swap of Shannon Grant for Schwass....I'm sure the Kangaroos have got greater value then us, (and I know Schwatta played some great games for us). Adam take care old buddy the fans still love you.:thumbsdown:

Yeah, what was Roos thinking? He might prove to be a genius but that is unlikely........to get Schneider AND Dempster for 26 is a bargain!

there is nothing on the St Kilda website or the Geelong Cats sites about any of these trades

are we sure this is the real deal?
Gee I hope not. I can't understand why it is both players for one pick. Surely we would at least get one of the Saints lower picks too (not that I would be happy with that still?) Or a player? Why couldn't we chase there pick 9 if we were willing to pass players up? Those two plus our pick 26 for there pick 9 would have been better.

Official AFL websites are ran by Telstra, and generally don't report anything until about 3 or 4 days after it appears in other news.

The amount of articles with direct quotes from Paul Roos talking about why he traded Schneider and Dempster to St Kilda would surely be enough to convince you.
