Sydney's salary cap issues ( ie at the maximum) will come up if they win another flag if a lot of players have big bonus components and some are still to be re-signed in October. If they make the GF it will also be stretched.
In 2007 Jude Bolton was put up for trade because of salary cap reasons but we didn't know that at the time and though he was put up because he was an ageing 27/28 midfielder with injury issues, not missing games but a smashed up body. He has only missed 5 games since the end of 2007 (2 in 2011 and 3 in 2012 both times late in the home and away part of the season).
Their free agency list is limited

SYDNEY SWANS
Free agents:
Jude Bolton (unrestricted)
Re-signed:
Adam Goodes (unrestricted, 2014)
Nick Malceski (unrestricted, 2014)
So do we target one of their guys for a trade? They have a shit load of big blokes who all can't fit in the side up forward Tippet, White, Goodes ( his time in the mid field will be limited), Sam Reid, LRT can play forward or back, Pyke, Mumford, Grundy, Richards. Andres Everitt is 194cms.
Just checked their list they have a rookie at 203 cms and Ted Richards brother is 194cms so they might be reluctant to lose more than one player with height /KPP type.
Which other player like Campbell Heath who is a fringe player should we target?
