    That sounds like a satisfactory trade, Fosdike for Jolly.

      Sydney, chasing Melbourne ruckman Darren Jolly, has offered midfielder Nic Fosdike to Adelaide for pick 24, Adelaide's second-round selection, which it hopes to offer to the Demons.

      Sydney's proposal is acknowledgement that it is unlikely to acquire Ottens, whom the club pursued despite his desire to play for Geelong.

        Jolly could be good value.

        Simmonds is probably a better get than Ottens, would think he has performed better at the top level.

        Worth having another crack at him (If he would come to Sydney)

          Simmonds will be staying at fremantle, they have just offered him a 4 year contract.

            I take that back, he has rejected the new 4 year deal.

              $300,000 a season for Fosdike is a joke. He has never proved himself to be at that level!

Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!

                  That's exactly what I was thinking. It's bull****.

                    Sydney could offer to pay part of the contract a la Blues Whitnall's, in order to get the deal done, given the space in the cap.

                      I almost choked on my coffee when i read this.

                      Good news that we are getting rod of Fosdike. Pity we haven't been able to score a much needed midfielder.

                          I think he's going into the PSD, so Richmond will get him for nothing.

                            I refuse to believe that Fosdike is on $300,000 a year. That would put him ahead of Jude, Davis, Ball and probably Kirk!!

                            If we can get Jolly for Fosdike, I'd be happy with that and happy to let Ottens go.

                              Swans coach Paul Roos said Fosdike was happy to return to his native South Australia. However, while the 24-year-old has been mentioned freely in trade talk, some clubs are understood to have baulked at the size of his contract, believed to be worth more than $300,000 a season
                              hahahaha, he won't be traded if he's on that.
                              And the Swans should either ask him to AT LEAST 1/2 his contract or delist him.
                              I don't believe it.

                              The battle for Richmond ruckman Brad Ottens seems likely to become a game of brinkmanship before tomorrow's 2pm trading deadline. The Swans remain ready to pounce if Geelong are unable to clinch a deal for Ottens.
                              Like the way that reads.
                              The Swans have decided what they are willing to give for Ottens, and are sticking to it.
                              If it comes off, I dare say we will have struck a reasonable deal for him.
                              If it doesn't, you'd have to say that the Swans have been prudent.

                              Roos denied the Swans had shown interest in Collingwood midfielder Shane O'Bree despite reports to the contrary. He said O'Bree's name had been mentioned by the Magpies but that he did not fit into his plans.
                              Also good to hear.
                              The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
