Pick swaps are likely to be included.
It would be awesome (though unlikely) if it included a swap of Sydney's pick 10 for Gold Coast's pick 6.
The most likely scenario would be a token swap of picks and a commitment to make a live trade on draft night in case it's needed.
In other news, Max King and Harry Kyle both topped a jump category at the Combine. King jumped 80cm in the vertical jump test, five cm higher than anyone else. Kyle topped the running vertical jump at 95cm."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

He didn't get a game with Hawthorn in 2 years. If he comes to us then I would hope he improves as he matures. On Curnow, now that Lloyd has re-signed, I don't think he will come to us. I would be surprised if we gave a first round pick away for him. Geelong have a way of getting these players.Comment

Serong's best work this year (which included his second VFL best and fairest) was done up on a wing as a transition player. Big and strong, brave and an aerial option. Could go back as that interceptor when needed as well.
Good get for us - with our record of smart fringe player pickups, I'd back him to become a player for usComment

He did play 5 games last year. This year he was behind Battle, Barrass, Sicily and Frost, with Scrimshaw and Weddle also able to play 3rd tall. And then Hawtjorn selected Mraz with their first pick in the 2024 draft, so hopefully he can be a Craig Bolton for us. Though he only has to be better than Hamling to be an upgrade.Comment

This Curnow trade worries me a lot given how much we'd need to give up to get a 29yo with injury issues and coming off the back of an ordinary season.
There's at least three academy players we shouldn't let slide to other clubs and in addition the opportunity to add a potentially very good player with pick 11/12
Hope we aren't looking at overpaying IF Carlton are willing to let Curnow leave.Comment

The club has made significant off field changes and hopefully will do similarly onfield as we properly enter the Dean Cox era. Having Rosas & Jai Serong nominate us is not a bad start.
IF we do land Curnow, hope it only involves our 2 first round picks and not having to give up a valuable player, which i include Hayward, even though he does go missing at times. This will need to involve a 3rd club for Carlton to also gain an A grade player they're after.
IF we do lose Hayward in any Curnow trade, it might present an opportunity for Ned Bowman, who appears to be a similar type player who could develop into that hybrid medium forward?
i fear Maclean may become a depth only player, with Ladhams as the preferred 2nd ruck with the 5 man interchange. Even more so if we also land Curnow. Wouldn't surprise me then if he or the club shops him around during the trade period.Comment

I have some concerns as well. Giving away two first-round picks would be overs. Carlton can make that request because Curnow is contracted. If Curnow didn't have a contract, one decent first-round pick would be closer to the mark. Curnow did have an ordinary season including four weeks in a row where he kicked no goals.

Hayward may be seen as surplus if we land King (and most likely play him in Yr 2
).
Cleary and Corey may also be seen as able to step up, plus Dattoli or Heeney more fwd as he ages.
The problem with Curnow if giving up that much for him he needs to be good for 3 years, not 1.Comment

Fairest and Bests
Hewett - Played as a tagger,can actually play
Cameron- not played, can actually play
Dawson - played as a defender, not bad inside
Serong- picked Stephens
Dunkley - never picked him and he has been interstate for 5 yrs after his drafted club received 2 firsts for him
Alot more at play but i hope we don't let the door hit KB on the way outComment
-
I’m not sure your parting comments are fair given we actually drafted 3 of the 5 - that suggests to me some kind of coaching / development issue.
In the case of Stephens he was playing senior SANFL football as a 17 yr old which is a reasonable indicator of future potential. In the case of Dunkley i think there was more at play with his father and the SwansComment

- 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.
