I think its very much wishful thinking, I'm sure he re-signed with the Lions 2 weeks ago, or was about to.

Yes, it's just wishful thinking...but he definitely hasn't re-signed and a few weeks ago was quite public about saying he might have to go elsewhere to receive his worth, and maybe it was time for a new challenge, blah, blah, blah...Presumably this was anegotiating tactic, but you never know.

Also Roosy has mentioned our lack of a backline strongman, praises our backline "despite the fact that we lack KPP"

Don't agree that Mathews or Schauble wouldn't be worth anything in trade. The top teams probably wouldn't be interested, but teams like Carlton, St Kilda, Bulldogs would be very interested in decently sized / reasonably strong, reliable and consistent players like these two. Not that I'm advocating trading them because they're important to the Swans structure, and there's not much at any of these clubs that we'd be looking for particularly (or at least, nothing that they'd be prepared to trade, unless Lenny gets a bout of ND).

Ablett and Stevens might command some trade currency, though I agree not much. McGlone shouldn't really be included because he's not on our senior list and therefore he can't be traded.
