    List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

    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

    List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

    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.

    Carlton won't let Charlie C. leave. Thank goodness. JUH - no way, not in a million years.

    Play Nice Society, Religion & Politics Thread

    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

    With the H & A season winding down, and the two Sydney teams 10th and (effectively) 8th - it's high-fives all round at AFL House. Not too low, not too high.

    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.

    2025. And here we are again, exactly where AFL House wants the Sydney teams to be. In perpetuity -Swans and GWS just in or just outside the final 8. Neither Swans or GWS recruited Daniel Curtin (Adelaide) or Connor O'Sullivan (Geelong). Poster LukeParker, and fellow travellers ..do they need...

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

    Fremantle beating Collingwood last week did us no favours. Three wins adrift of the eight. Gold Coast have a game in hand, home against Essendon. Not expecting much this week, GWS very capable up forward.

    Game Day 2025 Round 19 Sydney v. North Melbourne @ SCG @ 4:15 pm

    Preview Sydney Swans vs North Melbourne - From Arden Street to Anywhere: North’s Endless Expansion Tour Rolls On

    Wayne's brother Dick Carey was/is a good man, and a respected footy coach. He protected Wayne. Their dad Kevin was bruiser, like at the drop of a hat! ..Known for it in the local area. Wayne Carey had it tough growing up.

    Preview Sydney Swans vs North Melbourne - From Arden Street to Anywhere: North’s Endless Expansion Tour Rolls On

    Nice preview Bonz! The Shinboners are the gypsies of the AFL. They snagged Wayne Carey for a transfer fee of $10k from North Wagga, he should have been a Swans player. So too John Longmire (Corowa), who also went to North. But we also traded away Terry Daniher (Ariah Park), in the early years...

    Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have ?

    Expansion: a Hobart team makes about as much sense as a Darwin team. AFL House in Melbourne: they're kidding, meeting their KPI's. As an 18yro recruit, with career and life ambition, you know where I want to be drafted to - Hobart or Darwin. What a rabble down there in the Apple Isle - and a...

    Ok fair enough, hoping our clubs will see each other in the 2025 finals. We're unlikely, so the Suns will be my team for September.

    Autopsy 5 point win vs St.Kilda

    To the Mods, not sure where to post this, it seems there's already a 'SwansLifer' named poster, a near confusion with my later 'Swan_Lifer'. Please could my posting name be changed to something else, don't care what (within reason)..
