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.

FWIW I like Nic and think he is a useful enough player. Yeah I know, I know, I know!

I'm with you. He's handy enough and played some pretty good football in 2003. Last year wasn't great but injuries played a part.

I was a little surprised with the Spriggs drafting because they are similar types of player but both will play senior football this year, neither is going to be a star but both will make some contribution.

The fact that Roos can name a side with both omitted is a good sign for us. If the likes of Bevan, McVeigh, Ablett and maybe even Moore, Schmidt and Willoughby can keep both out for most of the season, that's a very very good sign for us.
