Not sure we are a destination club anymore. If Caro did some research she could list all those players we’ve attracted in the last 5 years to support her claim.I've always found Caro Wilson very fair about the Swans, sympathetic to our treatment from the AFL. Interesting she's take a small clip at Harley, maybe she misses the old management?
'I sense a bit of 'poor me' from Sydney': Caro says the Swans need to stop talking
Caroline Wilson says Sydney Swans need to quiet talk surrounding player retention as it’s looking desperate. “For Tom Harley, I sense a bit of pressure,” said Caro. “I don’t like the Swans talking about the go home factor, I know they are not trying to get COLA (Cost Of Living Allowance) back...www.3aw.com.au
Remember , hard to be a destination club with a trade ban and now we only get NEAFL players

Nice to see the famous NMFC#wishboner spirit livii
Tony Abbott is still weeping and is right as well.

There was some talk of us speaking with Lappin who is currently at Geelong. Maybe Stevie J heading home?
With McVeigh also to come in there could be more than one movement.
Fremantle is without a coach and you’d figure Kirk and Cox would look at that.

That is interesting. I really hope we keep Stevie J. Despite the rubbish service it received the forward line functioned pretty well.
If Kirk moves on we would have a chance to address our midfield composition,structure and strategy.
McVeigh seems such a smart bloke, any role he takes would add to the team.
I wonder if there will be movement between Crouch, Laidlaw and Kennelly.

Your club's burning questions: Can Jack stand up, does Eddie go?
Eight clubs dreaming of a flag. Ten more planning for 2020. What are the big queries facing all 18 as September starts?

Our most senior assistant coaches are Kirk & Blakey. If we're after Lappin I'd imagine it's to take on the number two role at the club leading me to believe Kirk is leaving. Again all guessing
He speaks the truth Bedders. That's exactly what I want & expect from those leaders at the club representing me as a supporter & how I feel about the those very topics that I "sook" about on here with you guys.
It's about time.

Caro reckons we're still a destination club? We were but I think that's fallen apart pretty quickly. It seems like every player seeking a trade back to Victoria wants to be at Hawthorn. That's a destination club.
Even after the ridiculous trading ban we've struggled to land the bigger names we targeted in the trade period.

McClure going with Harley Bennell to us. We have done massive research about his off field habits and the reports from friends that know him say he is in a good space. Horse is right in to it. Also saying Daniher will go to us.

I think you can ignore 98% of the things that these media lightweights say about trades - especially this far out.
They are all just regurgitating the same info. I could go on radio and speculate about these trades and sound just as informed ...
'Ohhh Ollie Wines is captain and happy at Port, but there is a feeling at the club that he let them down this year and he could be of interest to Essendon' ... next thing it is a story about how Wines might be traded.
I've listened to mcclure with whateley this week, and its obvious that it is all just speculation with little foundation. You will hear the exact same speculation from every other journo. It isn't McClure's fault, they are all doing it.
Obviously this drives heaps of 'clicks' and podcast downloads etc ... hence why it is all starting so early. But I think its all mostly bs. I mean Tom Papley is contracted for 4 years ... that hasnt stopped them constantly speculating that we will just hand him over to Carlton.
Occasionally, someone will report something that is obviously based on some evidence - like Jon Ralph reporting yesterday that Tim Kelly has made his mind up. These are the only times you should trust what is being said imo.

Isaac for Mark of the Year
Bit of a filler piece. I'm not sure if "Does Menzel go another year ?" is a burning question, given he wouldn't be asking much anyway We have more pressing issues such as our ruck, our midfield, our defence now that Smith, Grundy and Macca have gone, our post-Buddy forward line and a few more. I'd like to see Buddy playing a bit more on a wing so we can focus on a more consistent forward structure. It'd probably result in fewer injuries as there's a bit less of the short sudden sprint and more continuous movement.Your club's burning questions: Can Jack stand up, does Eddie go?

I remember thinking this is going to be one hell of a good year at that point, then reality stuck its ugly head through the door.Isaac for Mark of the Year
We'll never be a destination club for players seeking a trade back to Victoria.
The prospect of sustained success is a big draw as it normally takes a fair few cracks at finals to win a Granny. In a few years we'll have a team with a lot of our players nearing their peak and we'll consistently play finals again, not just for a year or two. We'll attract players who can see themselves making a big contribution to that success.
Reality eh. Marvellous thing at times.
