    I don't think the weagles would trade Cox as I heard due to Gardiners knee he may never ruck again and may play forward only.

      I believe it was Nathan Gibbs over the treatment he received when he was suffering from OP.
      We all dream of a team of BLTs!

          We need a key defender to cover schaubs and assist him or a ruckman...perhaps mcdonald from birssie for the ruck???? hes fallen down the list a bit and is a prooven player.

          as long as the swans dont draft someone like holland from hawthorn or bandy from the dogs....
          dont want another tingay, brereton, daffy, allison etc
          Theres not much left to say

            we need someone to carry our ruck for a couple of years, he'd have it in him...
            A bizarre concept is one way to describe this.

            We would be absolute idiots to trade Stafford back. It would be a short term solution that would in all probability fail.

            His form at Richmond has been ok, nothing exceptional. His form at the Swans over his last two seasons was pathetic. Don't use the excuse that he had an injured groin, because the bloke was dropping simple chest marks too regularly.

              How about targeting some young class, like Brad Green or Cameron Bruce from Melbourne? or Power from Brisbane? or Del Santo

              For ruck, I think Stafford could be a real bargain as I wouldn't be surprise if both Ottens and Thompson were also on the market, and therefore attracting the big bids.

              ...although Richmond would be unlikely to give up two ruckman -but, they do need to clean house.

                if stkilda, melbourne and brisbane are stupid enough to trade those players we will be very lucky... should take riewoldt and akkermanis and neitz as well :P

                  From what Roos said on Monday we have our key defender. Adam Goodes.

                    it would be a short term solution that has no other way of being solved, if we draft another kid ruckman, we could be waiting for a couple of years before he could play... about the only other option would be to go for a player like hamish mcintosh, a player who hasnt cracked the senior side but who has been on a list for a couple of years and can handle the rigours of AFL

                    its a different scenario from when a team wants to top up their list to have a tilt for the flag as our ruck stocks could be only doyle next year - if, of course ball retires...

                      We have our CHB in Goodes, we still could do with some depth in both CHB and FB.

                        With his regular injuries and his successful career outside of football working in the finance industry and a family, I'm expecting Bally to call it quits at the end of the season - I don't want him to, but would be more surprised if he played on next year than if he retired.

                        I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

                        If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                          I am not currently contracted to any AFL teams.

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

                              It really depends on whether the coaching staff is willing to think outside the square!
