As the bloke who rang WLF said - after his effort at the Brownlow he's an honourary Swan anyway. The Age reports Beau Mcdonald.
Yeah I'd take him IF we believe we are a genuine back to back chance (which I doubt)You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -
Why? There won't be to much of a change to the team and the younger guys should just get better. The only thing barring another tilt is injuries.Originally posted by Reggi
(which I doubt)
By the way, I vote no. The swans have a bad history of taking players past their used by dates, not that Spider is yet! I get the feeling that Roosy is not looking to go down that path though. But really what would I know.Last edited by RogueSwan; 27 September 2005, 08:14 AM."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!."

Past his best? He made the AA team this year, and is easily in the best three ruckmen in the comp.
We are a back to back chance next year. We would be moreso with Spida in the team.We hate Anthony Rocca
We hate Shannon Grant too
We hate scumbag Gaspar

I'm unsure. Our first pick in the draft is pick 19. Obviously that is not enough for Spider, so a premiership player may be on the move if Roos really wants this trade to happen.
Like i said i'm not sure, but he is a great ruckman and will give us every more chance to get us back to back.Official Driver Of The "Who Gives A @@@@ As The Player Will Get Delisted Anyway" Bandwagon.

He has played very well the past two years, but whatever that has done to increase his trade value, it's probably counter-acted by his age. When the Hawks traded for Spida, he was a five year player. Now he's a two year player.Originally posted by Jeffers1984

Pick 19 and Saddington ought to be more than enough (if Saddo wants to leave, he is contracted).We hate Anthony Rocca

It would be a steal if we could get him for pick 19 + Saddo.Originally posted by Charlie

We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Hawthorn might take some magic beans too...Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

It doesn't sound like a lot... but we're not getting a long term player here. We're getting a 31yo who wants out. Everitt's out of contract, and if he can't stand Clarkson, he could easily walk (although he'll only end up at Collingwood).
We can rule out the following: Hall, Davis, O'Keefe, Bolton, Williams, Schneider, Jolly, Kennelly, O'Loughlin, Ablett, Barry, Bolton, Roberts-Thomson, Kirk and Goodes. They are not on the table for Everitt.
Mathews, Fosdike, Crouch, Buchanan and Bevan aren't likely to interest the Hawks. They have plenty of mostly younger midfielders who are capable of doing the same job. Buchanan is the possible exception there.
That leaves Dempster or one of the non-premiership players as possible options. What do people think of Dempster? I can't see him being moved on, myself.
I'd be interested to hear other assessments of Everitt's trade value.We hate Anthony Rocca

The fact is if he is available we won't be the only clubs after him. Essendon will be after a ruckman now that Matty Allan has retired, Collingwood would like to bolster their ruck stocks after their horrendous injury run. I'm afraid with our highest pick at #19 our bargaining position isn't very strong.Comment

The Hawks aren't going to let go of one of only 2 players to play every game this year, let alone such an important one.
His age is an issue, but he's obviously tough & if he wanted to come I'd like to see us try to accommodate him. Spider & Baz reunited would be a sight.
As for throwing up names for possible trades - I'm not going there.Comment
-
I thought we'd go after him last year so I'd be delighted if they get a chance this year. Would be a perfect swap for Ball.
Can't see him going tho - I think he's happier at Hawthorn now than he was last year.Comment

Alistair Clarkson has already admitted he is working towards 2008 so there's no way Spida will be in those plans.
For the Hawks he will be a mentor to their younger players but not much else.
He would be the perfect replacement for Ball - we'd get 2 or 3 good years out of him and he is a supurb ruckman and ensure we are right up their in the mix again next year. Spida would recognise its his last chance to get a premiership medal as well so he wouldn't be coming here for a pension.
However, because of his age, there is no reason to go over the top on trades.
Hawthorn would be temped by a #19 pick (it would mean they get 3 in the top 20) and a fringe player (such as Saddo).
Another option would be to trade Saddo for a 2nd round pick to Essendon for example and then use the pick in the trade with the Hawks (i.e Spida for 2 picks)"As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

not until we know what other stuff is on the table and what it is we have to offer. i reckon he's a gun, but there may be many more favourable outcomes such as getting a promising unproven player with 10 years left on the clock.then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i knowComment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
