Agree with last 2 posts. There is no way I would take that risk on a bloke his age (not saying he is old but he is not young). Also, his output has not been high enough for 3 1st round picks. But yes, Geelong will need to add something else I reckon.Comment

Now we see how smart Keane is
Be silly to compete with 3x 1st Rounders
Geelong probably hoping stupid enough to top them, then make a turn for one of our playersComment

There's first rounders and there's first rounders of course. Geelong offering three 20+ picks over three drafts, the last of which will have Tasmania concessions, unless the stadium doesn't get approved!
I hope we terminate our interest in Curnow unless Carlton suddenly decide they will take something more modest to be rid of him?
I'm wondering if despite all the loud bluster, Saints are actually running out of cap space? They are trying to push Steele out the door but he's not going LOLComment

The AFL have changed the rules around first-round picks. They are changing the 2 first-round picks in 4-year rule to a 2 in 5-year rule and pretending clubs used a first-round pick in 2023 and 2024 even if they didn't.
This means Geelong can table THREE first-round picks for Curnow. Without this change, Geelong would only have been able to table ONE because they used only two first-round picks in the past four years.

St Kilda are being reasonable. They had cap space, probably contingent on trading out a player. Now they have spent it and they're getting full.
At least St Kilda have a salary cap. Geelong's salary sombrero is getting wider every year if they can take Curnow and Smith without any signs of filling that giant cap."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

Now the Curnow Dream is over, let's see who else is out there for us to target. One key forward who spent most of last season out due to injury is Lewis from the Hawks. The Hawks forward line is now packed and it might be an opportunity to target Lewis. Young, very good key forward and is hungry to get back to licking goals. Would be interesting to see if Hawks see Lewis as expendibleComment

To be honest if the rumours are true our best offer probably trumps Geelongs current offer, I just praying it shows Geelong has a stronger desire than we do to get a deal done ? wonder if there is any substance about trading Rowbottom that’s a deal I’d love to explore, unlikely I know but I’d be prepared to eplore it (don’t hate him or anything, just think we have others who could improve us in the middle)Comment
-
Could see Rowy, Mclean and a Fringe HFF be used in trade but not to upset thw apple cart.
If Sydney don't come out and say we are out of the Curnow race after he selected Geelong and their offer, then this bloke Keane is dumber than KB.
Go get Aleer to make up for the mistake of trading Alir, he is exactly what we needComment
-
Cannot see why we can't recruit both Aleer & Serong if we pull out of chasing Curnow. Serong has shown versatility of also able to play forward. Both provide KPD depth. Makes Hamling's extension look obsolete if we did.
I'm lukewarm on Curnow & not fussed if he nominates Geelong with their 3 x 1st round picks. I'm bullish on Logan returning in beast mode ala Riley Thiltorpe this year.Comment

Hamling choice was already a shocker, given they picked him over Francis and Fox.
I'd much rather get Aleer than Curnow. Curnow costs too much and I think we can make do with the KPFs we have. AFL is no longer a power KPF game - especially when it comes finals. Theyre a distraction and money sink. It's about intercept defenders, high pressure small forwards and goal kicking midfielders. KPFs just need to provide structure and competeComment

- 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. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.

The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
