2025 List Management

The finishing is frustrating but he's getting good looks at goals. How many behinds was it that Jetta kicked before his first goal? 19 was it? Cleary just got the first goal out of the way early and is now chasing the consecutive behinds club record.

I think Cleary will make it- worth persevering with. I recall Jetta’s behinds fondly- lost count after the first dozen or so! But his kicks were very powerful and long; his technique was amazing as you wouldn’t expect those distances with his build. And of course his pace was incredible. We could sure use someone like him right now!

Hey everyone.

Isn't it great to support a club that lost the capacity to trade for two years for following the AFL rules? I mean, that is list and salary cap management par excellence.

Whereas, it must be terrible to support Geelong where a review - led in part by a guy who used to be COO and CFO at Geelong at the time of the alleged breaches, and is now at the AFL - has found they did some dodgy third party deals (after being found guilty of similar breaches in 2020) but they were classified as "whoops", so just cough up a few dollars.

Yeah!

It sure was. The cheer and standing ovation for the goal is one of my great Swans memories.

Love it - and to think what a weapon he went on to be in our flag in 2012 as the leading goal kicker.

In case this AGE article becomes paywall. Geelong are expected to be fined $10,000 for breach of player payments. Caro reported this on the Agenda Setters last night. Cats have re-iterated this not a smoking gun to anything bigger. I know there will be alot of skeptism on this board about this ongoing topic (myself included).

FWIW Tom Morris saying Swans are cashed up and ready to go after big names in the trade. "They are just going to be ruthless," Go to SEN website. Posted link but it's coming up as unapproved.

No disrespect to you, but it was typical Tom Morris gibberish. Pure speculation, says no Buddy types, but then reels off Charlie Curnow and Ben King as examples.

He really is one of footy journalism’s great dolts, and that’s saying something.

Amazed we didn’t move Logan onto inactive. What’s the best case? We get him back r23 or something. I’m not for tanking but the year is what it is. Get him right for next year and see what else we can scoop up.

Given our track record at the MSD, we aren't missing much.

Lachlan McAndrew 2 games (and by the by, putting up much better numbers in the Adelaide Crows SANFL team than he ever did for us in the NEAFL)
