Cal Twomey's Phantom Form Guide: Top draft prospects' July ranking
Out of the Swans Academy players, Max King is 14th. No other Sydney Academy player is listed in the top 25.

Worth having a good read of Twomey's top 25, quite a number getting a listing on the back of what seems moderate performance against, of course, moderate opposition. Barring a strong end of year, a bid on King mid teens will be based on potential rather than performance. A bid around 14/15 will be about where our first pick will drift to after a couple of high Compo picks and certainly three GC/Bris matching bids. The rest of our academy players not rated by Twomey.
A first round of nearly 30 significantly reduces value of second round picks depending on what picks clubs use to match early bids. It's a new world this year with the substantially watered down pick values. Plenty of scenarios will be run by club recruiters to understand the potential machinations.
St.Kilda has been very outspoken about the northern academies, even wanting them abolished from this year's draft! They currently hold pick 4 - will they use it to back up their whinging stance by bidding on Queenslanders Uwland, Patterson and Annable?
Only four months until the National Draft :-)Comment

It's hard to think of a less suited match.
Suns have some highly rated academy prospects this year (again) and so won't have the draft capital to trade for Curnow.
Their salary cap must be pretty tight, and projected to get tighter over the next few years as they need to re-sign the likes of Humphrey, Read, Walter et al.
And speaking of Read and Walter, they don't seem to be in need of a key forward, even in the short term, with King already into the mature part of his career. Seeking out someone like Curnow would only make sense if King had indicated he wanted to leave.Comment

Herald Sun did an expose on clubs salary caps a few days ago. Assume their info will be close to the mark, seems to be in line with what 's been said in recent times. Movement of highly paid players can change things, like TDK $900k off Carlton cap and $1.5m+ onto Saints cap.
Three tiers -
Tight as a drum, Freo, GWS, GC, Carlton
Tight but still chasing, Bris, Pies, Cats LOL!, Melb, Dogs
Millions in cap space roughly in order of spare cash, WCE, Saints - Norf, Ess, Richmond - Hawks, Port, Crows, Swans
If this is accurate then we should congratulate the club in having all the key players locked in to long term contracts but still having spare cash. Grundy on the cheap with Pies picking up a reported $250k per season in their cap. It's very nice of them
Geelong needed a big asterix alongside their cap ranking!Comment

Lachlan Carmichael named on field in U18 AA
Only nine Vic players named in the 24, record low I'd reckon. Eight named from SA the championship winners.Comment

aaaand, as expected, Charlie Curnow comes out and said he's not moving from Carlton and never even thought about it.
Yet another in the endless streams of trade rumours floated by the AFL media clowns to fill airwaves time and newspaper columns.
All our likely academy players are playing VFL against GWS this arvo.Comment

Apparently Gus has signed on for two more years. Good stuff.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
