Swans delist Seymour

[DST]

Seems like that will be it now, probably a good idea considering James has been elevated can't afford to many players that are under an injury cloud.

Not that surprised really. Good luck Brad. A tough nut defender who unfortunately was injured when we needed his toughness.

Its pretty clear that the club did try and get something for him in the trade period to no avail.

[penga]

IMO, it shouldve really happened last year, oh well, good luck snapper in the future...

[Mike_B]

A very valuable member of the club when fit - unfortunately that was not very often at all over the past few years.

Thanks for the 10 years Snapper (you've got Life Membership now as recognition of that), and best of luck!

Looks like he will be melbourne bound and left the club on good terms.

[Ryan Bomford]

One of the last of '96 GF team. Didn't realise he was still so young (27). May pick up an opportunity on one of the rebuilding Melbourne sides.

[TheMase]

I think this could be a decent sign that we will pick up someone in the pre-season draft.

May be Ray Hall ...

Good luck to Brad. I wouldn't count his chances of getting a big chance at another club, but hopefully for him it will work out.

I don't think we have lost THAT much there, just getting rid of more old wood off our list (why couldn't warfe go!!)

[CureTheSane]

Only yesterday I posted how Paul Licuria was the only Swan I can remember who we lost and I really wanted to keep.
Now there are two

But I understand the POV from both the club and the player, and hope he comes back as strong as ever (but is pummelled by a Swan when playing against us )

I was hoping there would be a footnote at the bottom of the article saying also in other news rowan warfe has been let go too...

Same.

I always read the delisting order as:

Warfe - Certain
Seymour - 50/50
Nicks - Unlikely, but possible

Whoever gave Warfe that three year deal should be put up against a wall and shot.

Maybe the SWANS are doing too good a job in 'list management'. I'm getting confused, how many vacancies do we now have on the player and rookie lists? Is there enough talent around this year to fill the vacant spots?

Departing:

Cresswell, MacPherson, Hunt, Seymour, Buchanan.
+ spare spot on list at start of season = 6 places

James and Meiklejohn promoted = 4 places

We have 4 draft picks.

Or we could use 3 of them and get a player in the pre-season draft.

and stevens too? = 5 spots.

I would have liked to have seen him fit and on the field - but agree that we don't need too many 50 / 50 players... I would say that he was dissapointed on being touted as tradable and this is his choice to get another chance.......?

At the start of this season I would have had him in my starting 22 and having a shocking season with injuries has also helped him talk the swans into delisting him?? No fact but speculation!!

Best of luck to Brad and family - My guess 30 to 70 % chance of rebirth at another club?
