Swans delist Seymour

[BAM_BAM]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was in a good mood until I read this.

what a very disappointing way to finish with us.

[Newbie]

We now have five vacant spots, 4 picks before the 50th mark and all teams are required to use the full quota of 38. Given that we had come out and stated that we are not going to draft anyone after 50th pick, this is a very likely indication that Ray Hall is Sydney-bounded.

While he is (and wont be) a world beater, replacing Seymour with Hall clearly improves our list.

[Ajn]

never liked him, glad to see him go.

Was hard working, but continually gave away stupid free kicks.

Bring on the draft!

[Ryan Bomford]

With 5 spots w/ or w/o Hall, also leaves the option of redrafting McGlone and/or Buchanan.

This really has become an extremely disappointing trading/drafting period for the swans IMO. It seems to have gone from bad to worse, after failing to turn over the list during the trading week. The only way to salvage some consolation would be to nab Ray Hall in the PSD. And that is still no certainty.

I wonder if there's been a deal set up with Richmond - they can pick Seymour up, they delist Hall so we can pick him up in the national draft (there's a better chance there, I'm certain of it), we both get something out of a situation where we might otherwise get nothing.

Richmond have 4th selection in the PSD - Bulldogs take Rawlings, Carlton Stevens, Melbourne will take Read if anyone... that would mean that Seymour is Richmond's if they want him.

Thanks for all your good service Snapper, and good luck.

Now... who has Warfe got incriminating photos of???

Geez, Charlie, they should have had you on the Chase for Skase. The way you picked that conspiracy theory up when no one else did. We all got confused by other clubs having picks ahead of us to take Hall . . .

Good work Charlie

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.

What about McGlone,Crawford all those rokkies didnt we let them go to?

I heard it was actually to further his wife's career (modelling business) and if lucky he felt he could get picked up by another club. How...dedicated. Looks like Snapper might have to do his own washing now!

Glad to see him go. He has been playing frustrating footy for a few years now. He actually used to be on of my fave's.

Now for Nicks and Warfe...

They were rookies - don't count on the player list of 38.

Thanks for a job well done and best of luck.

[robbieando]

I think the new rule is that each club must have at least 37 players on their senior list.

so we have 7 places and are most likely to pick 4 in the national draft plus Hall if we can get him in the Pre season that puts our list back up to 36?

Are we doing to much cleansing of our list?

I didnt think Amon and Hunt were given a good chance before being delisted.

Plus we are brining up MJ and James from the Rookie List so that would make 38. If we don't get Hall in the pre season draft, I think we'll go in with 37 on the senior list and make the decision on the 38th spot during the Wizard Cup (Weather or not we promote a rookie or not)

I didnt think Amon and Hunt were given a good chance before being delisted.

Sadly thats the why things go and I doubt they were major players in future plans anyway

IMO the only loss has been Stevens, especially from a short list, and I am disappointed that he didn't get more opportunities in the backline to show his stuff.

None of the others have been important players except Cressa who's time was up.
