Past Michael Talia - delisted 2017, thanks for the memories

[mtooler]

Welcome Michael Talia! Please no game plan strategy discussion here in Michael's presence, he's on a need to know basis at present.

Good get

Slot him straight into CHB for the next few seasons.

Should help Richards become a 3rd tall or +1 too which should help him out a lot this season

 

[Superstar swan]

Stoker to have talia. He had classic discard to star written all over him

 

[Punts]

Beauty

 

[MarkP]

Removes a lot of disaster scenarios.

Good work.

 

[Superstar swan]

Very athletic defender and Can win a lot of the footy. New dynamic for us as a kpd

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Watch the AFL de-register him now.

 

[scaryness]

Watch the AFL de-register him now.

Nah that was only if he went to Adelaide.

 

[Cadsky]

Theres been enough negativity on this board lately. No need for this.

Welcome Michael to the swannies. We'll make you a premiership star!

Very good value signing. Fits into our defence well because he is average in 1-on-1 contests but quite strong when supported by a defensive unit. Like Scott Thompson he gets a lot of the ball for his position and backs himself to clear the ball.

A good get! Happy Days!

Grundy, smooch and ted and rampe will get him up to speed.


"When kicking across goal, there is a myth that kicking a flatter drop punt is the way to go, however we at the swans like to air our kicks out a bit more. Not only is it easier to mark but longer air time allows our teammates enough time to get across the ground and make the switch"

 

[Olian]

Rest him for games against the Crows.
Nice trading by the Swans.

 

[Superstar swan]

It all makes sense. Horse thinks he is a key forward after watching that video

 

[Tuco]

Has held his own against some big names. I think he stopped Walker this year? Will be very good for us.

 

[vonn]

OMG HE IS QUITE CUTE TOO.

 

[Superstar swan]

Good to see the club get back to our traditional style of recruiting ( even though it was forced)

 

[Sketi]

Always liked the look of him. They say he's out of favour at the Dogs but still managed 14 games this year in what was a pretty good season for them.

And at just 22 years of age I'd say this trade is a steal! Was seriously worried about out KPD (and ruck) stocks with the trade ban, but the club has done well.

Its quite strange to be this excited for a player brought in for 4th round pick

 

[Millky95]

Welcome to the Swans! Fills the gap we needed

 

[AG]

More important question..how many points did he cost?

 

[magic.merkin]

Stoker to have talia. He had classic discard to star written all over him

Bram stoker to have him? me to.



Players usually get much much better when they come to us. Im very pleased for cheap.

 

[Dangas]

awesome

OMG HE IS QUITE CUTE TOO.

At least we got that right!
