Other than JUH & Curnow, we appear to be quiet so far in the trade front according to the AFL media. Hoping we're being stealthy in this space.
The following trade article suggesting whether we might be interested in KPDs Steven May, Liam Jones, Sam Frost or 22yo Jai Serong who remains unsigned at the Hawks.
Read elsewhere where Jake Lever has been linked to North, WC and Bulldogs. Surely we should also have him on our radar if he's gettable?

Apparently we're interested in Malcolm Rosas from the Suns. I'd not heard of him before - played 45 odd games over 5 years as a speedy mid sized forward. Not sure why we'd be interested.Other than JUH & Curnow, we appear to be quiet so far in the trade front according to the AFL media. Hoping we're being stealthy in this space.

Jake Lever could be ok. He will be 30 in March though. Hawks got Battle, 25. Maybe we should be looking at Wilkie or Tauru. I can remember seeing Wilke's father playing in the 1985-6 GF's against Glenelg. He played on Stephen Kernahan in '85 and John Seabohm or Adam Garton in '86. In '85 he made the mistake of bashing Kernahan with a roundhouse right in a marking contest. Nearly knocked him out. Problem for Wilkie was he didn't. Kernagan came back on and when the time was right did exactly the same thing to Wilkie. This time Wilkie was knocked out. Hard Bugger. He player\d in North's '87 Premiership against Glenelg, who lost at least 10 players to the AFL at the end of '86, so making the finals was a huge achievement for Graeme Cornes.Other than JUH & Curnow, we appear to be quiet so far in the trade front according to the AFL media.

If we want backs let's target some younger blokes who will be arounfd to help win a premeirship. I am not sure next year is even close to being a Premiership year.
But I want mids and a medium, 191-2cm Medium Forward. Think Morris for Lions. We have several Academy prospects who are ready to go.
Max King, a Medium forward/Mid, 191cm, is someone we should be looking at very seriously.
Lachie Carmichael is a REAL defender who we do not have to convert from being a mid. He does play mids when needed. He was the Australian Championships MVP.
Harry Kyle and Noah Chamberlain may be later options. Chamberlain is a HB/Mid and kyle plays wing.
do we really want to trade in a Curnow, who is lazy, he's a sook, does not play a team game, and refuses to run defensively. Yes he gets pushed back to take marks in defence. but that is not running defensively.

Rosas can do the undoable. Think Rankin. He could be a really great player if managed correctly. I think he has a personality problem with Hardwick. Rosas played 15 games and kicked 15.14 for the season. Playing HF he is racking up some stats though, in a fairly poor side. Not as poor as ours lol.Comment

Who on earth put up Papley's name? He didn't finish up the season like a player who we would remotely look to trade. He's a heart and soul club player.Comment

According to the AFL website, Robbie Fox wants to play on.
I had assumed, based on nothing but age and injury, that he had retired.
Hopefully he gets a new home.Comment

Its been suggested we trade first round draft pick and Florent + McLean for Curnow. What do people think of that trade?Comment

This is who I'd love us to be going after (as I talked about a week or two ago).
Otherwise, there are suggestions that Tylar Young from Richmond might be gettable. He's a pretty decent key back too, though not at Wilkie's level.
I keep reading how all these (mostly Melbourne) clubs are after attractive assets and our name is never mentioned as being in the hunt. I'd like to think that is because we do things behind closed doors, but I'm not confident of that.Comment

The script is we only chase key fwds, even though most of us believe it's not our need.
Hard to know what our coaches think of our defenders, last pre season they thought we had enough down there to move Tom Mc out of there, not sure what they are seeing that the rest of the us aren't.Comment

- 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.

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.
