    Analysis 2026 - The Way Forward

    Posts above, exactly what I want to see. Our players in the pool, in the gym, building core strength and brute power. Let's start season 2026 with a full squad to pick from.

    Player Watch Charlie Curnow - Welcome to Sydney

    In any case, I doubt he's ahead of Jezza Cameron or Sam Darcy for Vic selection. And yes, a knee/ankle/soft tissue niggle will be discovered at the opportune moment.

    I've been all over this place on the Curnow trade. But as much as we love them, were Ollie and Wilbur the players to dig us out of a hole at 3/4 time in a final? Tasmania is coming into the draft in 2027, so clubs need to be trade aggressively in the interim. The club and the new coach know...

    This morning the mainstream news bulletins are still saying that Carlton has refused the Swans offer. I think our offer is more than fair. Take it or leave it Blues. We'll get a good pre-season into Will and Ollie, and then see who wins the trade. Overall which AFL club wins the trade period...

    On trades, what is the trade rabbit out of the hat this year, we are known for it. The Z.Merrett situation has gone very quiet at Essendon, but Hawthorn more likely (if anyone). For the record, I hope C.Curnow stays at Carlton. But what would I know, to this day I don't get why we traded...

    Spot on Punts. Been saying as much on here for years. Their dismantling of COLA, and the trade ban was plain vindictive. Didn't make house prices any cheaper in Sydney.

    Hope I'm wrong, strong feeling we're getting Curnow. As his 3rd choice. Gold Coast don't need him, and Geelong can't afford him. JUH probably to Gold Coast. Clarry probably remain at Melbourne.

    Reading through the thread, it looks a bleak drafting outlook. The club can hardly expect any 'dancing in the aisles' -were we to draft any of May, JUH or even Curnow. In any case, I'd say we'd be the last choice for at least two of those three players. If we're not trading any of Gulden...

    As if Charlie wouldn't go to Geelong, given a halfway decent offer, family links in the area. We're probably just a bargaining chip. Michael Voss probably going to play hard ball anyway..

    You argue the case well Pezz. But he'll be a 29yro in season 2026. His injury record is hardly untarnished, ankle & soft tissue. He'd have to survive an exhaustive medical evaluation before it would even be considered (as would Tom Papley btw, if going the other way). Of course he would add...

    What will the club do? We will send Papley and Campbell off to Carlton, in exchange for Charlie Curnow. And btw, JUH, he can go off and play bush league..:rolleyes: I doubt Pavlovich or Cox would put up with such a no hoper.. No, just no. Ju

    We didn't want coach A.Clarkson (and you remember there was talk in the day), and we certainly don't want May. You don't openly undermine your Captain, and subsequently expect to play at the Swans. Lost a step anyways. Our club has standards.

    Respect your opinions always K.C. but assault? He is myopic, and probably legally blind. Laughable to think he could assault anyone :D. For the record, he denies the allegations and protests innocence. Loose cannon, yes. The NSW Liberal Party realized they'd never be able to control him...

    Analysis 2026 - The Way Forward

    Enjoying this thread, the more so that sensible Kiama Chris is in it. Our AFLW girls are showing us the way today, they're a long way ahead against the Suns team. Mens team? Get into the gym this off-season. Next year, get the black shorts on. If you can't stick a tackle -you're in the...

    Analysis 2026 - The Way Forward

    I'd just like them to get into the gym. It was the U18s against the U12s against Geelong. I never want to see a Geelong player laughing at a Swans player again. I hope Coach Dean Cox puts 'a bit of stick about' during this comng pre-season.

    Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II

    4 weeks would be outrageous, should the AFL go that way. Star young player, getting close attention from opposition defenders, what does the AFL expect? Let the onfield umpires deal with it, but don't penalize the club. I'll show myself out.

    Can only agree McGowan3. .I thought we'd grown beyond this sort of cultural cringe. An imported lowlife, disgracing the national sporting spectacle. AFL House has lost the plot. Give the opportunity to an Australian musical act.

    Coach Dean Cox - 2025 Coach - Signed 4 year deal

    In the media, for a moment there I thought S.Goodwin, recently sacked Melbourne coach was up here, around the Swans. But it was out at the GWS with Adam Kingsley. Adelaide boys. Might happen too. Kingsley seems keen.

    Kiama will go back to Labor, which it has traditionally been. Gareth Ward had a huge personal vote, they even re-elected him as an independent after he was booted from the Liberals. Energetic and committed. Just sad what happened.

    Toast Welcome Mathew Pavlich

    The Hall of Industries is a decent legacy for Tom Harley. Pav has an impressive CV with one exception -executive experience at the level. JHWF presents decent set of KPIs in above page. I'd add another: -make a close study of GWS CEO counterpart Dave Matthews. He's prepared to 'thump the...

    Player Watch #1 GigaChad Warner

    So much attention focused on Isaac and Errol during season 2025. But, no excuse. Chad can grow into our expectations. So let's have a big pre-season for 2026, and the whole club get behind him. He's only signed for 2 years remember.

    No Oppo Supporters 2025 AFL General Discussion

    Player Watch #1 GigaChad Warner

    It's been a big year for Chad, he had the contract renewal to think of, as well as his long term playing future. He needs a bit of leadership from the club at this point. He has to decide where he wants to be on the metric prefix. Signing for only two years will only increase the scrutiny from...

    Preview Sydney Vs GWS Giants Friday Night Engie Stadium 7:50pm

    It might also help if 'One-Way' plays four quarters. AFAIK, both of them can look to WCE or Freo, and with the trade capital, we'll take Mitch Lewis or Charlie Curnow. This game: as if the Giants are letting this one slip at home.

    Preview Sydney Vs GWS Giants Friday Night Engie Stadium 7:50pm

    GWS have so many avenues to goal. Hogan, Cadman, Riccardi, Stringer, Greene. Going to be a long night at the office for our defenders. Tom Papley back for us, so we'll need Heeney to play in the middle (and Sheldrick). Not the night to lose the clearances.
