Well its not actually a salary dump its just a way of giving them vardy for free .
Gws at this stage may end up with pick 11-12 .
So coniglio compo not horrible
Maybe even vardy as steak knives in a pick trade in gws favour
They are desperate for a ruck mumford cooked , lobb gone , simpson 16 games in 3 years also 31 , flynn just did his ACL .
Vardy is a proven afl player who is still in his prime unlike mumford or ryder
This is going to sound blasphemous but if it meant getting coniglio i'd give up brander and vardy for GWS 2nd rounder if it meant they didn't match. Would allow us to trade in Kelly and then potentially say Acres with our second rounder this year.
Lose brander, vardy, 2019 first, 2020 first, 2019 second.
In Coniglio, Kelly, Acres, Swans second rounder, GWS second rounder.
Keep brooksby around, pick up a developing ruck late in the draft. We could easily fit them all into the side. May even allow someone like shuey to finish up his career at HB where his skills on both feet solve that future issue temporarily as well.
Would also allow us to either drop masten completely or delist and pick up as a rookie if no-one wants him.
All completely unlikely but it's nice to dream
