Unless we delist someone before the next cut off date then yes we are full and will not be able to participate.

Very unlikely they will chop someone now, would only be someone like Warfe who only has a year left in him if he was to go down with a season ending injury within the2 or 3 weeks.

It would have to be the first preseason draft we havent participated in for 20 years.

Sign of the times?

I think the draft choice of Matthew Davis was simply coz they decided they wouldnt take anyone in the PSD after Ray Hall re-signed with the Tigers

I would say that the Buchanan or Erickson selections were actually the result of Hall signing with the Tigers. Sounds like the club had their eye on Davis, but were also aware that they were the only club who knew about him.

There is no one in the pre season draft anyway. Take out Stevens and Rawlings and its very bare. No Craig Bolton's this time around.

I'm happy with the list as it is - the likes of McVeigh will be stepping up soon. The kids are alright, I say.

Agreed, Davis will hopefully prove to be one of the first swifties ever pulled by the Swans. Not often a player gets drafted without knowing he was eligible! I think Buchanan was going to be picked up before Carlton picked him up. And worth a chance as his 2002 form was pushing for selection. The ruckman was obviously the replacement for Hall, to bolster our fragile ruck department.
