Who should we look at off loading ?

So I take it your grand plan for this club to win its long-awaited premiership is to somehow get Leigh Matthews to coach the club despite him being under contract and the Swans already having a coach that seem more than able to do the job at hand, then trade Ben Mathews, Stephen Doyle and Jude Bolton for Chris Judd this off season despite him being under contract and the Eagles not wanting to let him go. Next we should then trade Jared Crouch for Ray Hall to be the Full Back for our dreams. Then with Matthews, Ray Hall and Judd in place, trade Goodes, Barry Hall and Kirk for as many 1st Round Picks as we can get our hands on and then delist the rest of the team so we can build the side around Chris Judd and Ray Hall with 36 untried rookies (most of whom will be midfielders from NSW), with Leigh Matthews in the drivers seat as coach.

Yep that should work

No, no. He is talking plural speak (take note NMW). He said IE. a Matthews.

So what he really means is there are 2 Leigh Matthews' coaching AFL sides. Otherwise he would have meant that there was a coach of equal quality, body, mind and soul of Leigh Matthews and has 3 consecutive flags under his belt currently coaching.
Plural speak talkers speak in riddles to back up their opinions. Eg. Tony Shaw. Note that I did not say the Tony Shaws of this world.

Was that meant to be a red flag to a bull...? I hate plural speak - eg: 'What we need is for the Judds, Kerrs, Cousins and Fletchers of the team to stand up' FFS - if there were more than one of each of these players you'd be flying!!

forgive me for making a light hearted comment. I actually enjoy you and P46 sparing with each other, but found it even nicer (if that's not too gentle a word) when you came to his defence.

It's because your response was too wimpy!

The Swans aren't ever going to win a flag unless we get some quality players.

We should trade Hall and Goodes for draft picks. Even with Goodes' dodgy knees, we should still get at least 3 or 4 first round picks.

With McGlone, Willoughby and Schmidt, we'll probably then have at least half a dozen All Australians.

And trade Fosdike, Saddington, Ablett and Mathews for a second round pick, which we can use for a young ruckman.

Then we're bound to win a flag.

how can anyone have read that post and thought it was even partly serious? Its so ridiculous that you could not have possibly missed the sarcasm.

[bigdaz]

Doyle we can definitely do without.

However I would not want to lose Saddo. He was just starting to bloom as a footballer before the injury and starting also to show some versatility playing forward and back. It would be a mistake to let someone like that slip through the net.

I am absolutely gob smacked that you suggested, Crouch....




Footyhead.... I don't do trade talks, Sorry.

Absolutely hit me in the nuts as well. No way this guy can go.

[Sid]

I have to say that our forward line is heaps strong and trading mickey wouldnt be the biggest deal. "Micky-O for L.Hayes trade. or Micky-O for Bradshaw" as someone mentioned, i would accept.

Also, I think schneids is a bit overrated and that buchanan can fill his position.

I think these are the only two players who we would get something decent.

[dread and might]

i understand the right to opinions and discussion, but some of this fantasy football trade talk is getting ridiculous......in that vein why don't we trade warfe for judd

also; seymour to collingwood for buckley, fraser and a first round draft pick.

Try "red rag" to a bull. Toreadors/matadors/any dors do not use a flag on a stick It is a rag on a stick

Of course - didn't even realise I had written 'flag' particularly when it's one of my dad's favourite sayings!!

This lad is my nephew, and even though he knows "jack" about what he talking about, he is a good bloke, and it is worth coming to his defence even if he doesn't appreciate it. The great thing is he follows in the great tradition of his family and talks utter crap in the outer.

Who should we trade

Let's trade Footyhead because he talks a load of crap! I'm outraged that people who call themselves supporters can be suggesting that we trade players like Crouch, Fosdike, Bolton or any big man. And to suggest that you would trade our players for second raters like Ottens and Hille are unbelievable. have some patience and have some faith inour coach and our recruiters.

Blind faith kills more than no faith. Honestly, how much longer do you want us to wait? another 70 years? Do you think that our current group of serious players (100 games and over) could bring us the flag? No chance would have been my answer.
