2025 List Management

[crackedactor 01]

Rookie Me had King rated at 21, Kyle 31 & Carmichael 33. So Kyle and Carmichael were big bolters by their rankings.

Interesting where the bid for King lands tonight and whether we will match. Will be surprised if we didn't.

KPD Blake Thergold is still on the board (ranked 30). If somehow bid for King doesn't come by our pick 35, will we be in a posirion to match bid for King later (with 41, 53, 64) if Thergold is available and we select him? The same applies for any other potential sliders.

Probably too diffiicult to answer surrounding the complexities whether our picks slide further back or forward plus where the King bid lands.

Shocked that people re angry with recruiting team. After the Curnow trade we were going to miss on at least one of the big 3 at the academy. Hoping they also have a look at Chamberlain and McNamara at tonight's draft.

Saw it on instagram. We live in there head rent free and they do it for clicks. They’ll never be as relevant as us as a football club even if they win a premiership. So they just do it to leech and build some brand identity cause god knows they don’t have much else

Reminded me very much, of little brother trying to provoke big brother into whacking them, so that they could go running to mummy for a bit of attention.

Yes, even though McNamara seems to have slipped out of the conversation, I really hope that he gets a rookie spot. He showed a surprising amount of forward craft in the VFL, despite playing mainly as a defender for the academy, with the occasional spell in the midfield. I actually think that he could be converted into a decent big bodied mid.

Unfortunately we really had no choice. Certainly GWS went out of their way to make it difficult for the Swan.

Greater Western Bidney Giants!

I think the animosity between the Giants and the Swans stems from the fact that we recruited Franklin and they had no idea. I bumped into SOS who was with the Giants recruiting team back then, and he genuinely said the Giants were SHOCKED - furthermore he said they were seething!

After all is said and done, they haven't forgotten. Even the bid on Harry Rowston made them ark up a bit more. So I suspect they may have a score to settle, however I don't think that they would have bid if they didn't want Kyle anyway.

For what its worth, I am satisfied with the recruitment team. We all have to make calls and some turn out better than others. The recruitment team would have been well aware of Carmichael's attributes and would have made a considered decision. Its not like they didn't know, having seen the kid up close for the last 2 years. Furthermore, they probably didn't want to go into deficit, as they know what is coming through the academy next year.

Hopefully we get King and Roberts-Thompson in the draft and Chamberlain slips through to the rookie draft.

At least the Swans play fair.. not like the others.

As another aside, I noticed that GWS put out an X-cretion last night, trying to troll us about Carmichael going to the Bulldogs. Can't be bothered finding it and linking to it, but I think their social media people have been doing that sort of childish crap for a while now. I don't know if we ever bother to reply?

Giants, on the other hand, just ditch their academy players after a few years (or don't try too hard to keep them). Matt Kennedy, Jack Steele, Jacob Hopper, Isaac Cumming, Harry Perryman, Matt Flynn. We've not taken as many academy prospects as the Giants over the last decade or so, but the ones we have we have held onto (or delisted - they've not gone to other clubs).

Sydney currently has picks 35, 41 and 53 that bear points. The total is 586 points, which is higher than the full value of pick 26.

[Syd76]

Looks like Collingwood are bidding on King

[Syd76]

Maybe not

Jevan Phillipou

[UUaswan]

Rated higher than Carmichael pre draft

[Velour&Ruffles]

Jevan Phillipou

Jevan Phillip-who?

[dejavoodoo44]

I quite like that pick. Seems to have pace and skills. Probably ensures that St Kilda bid on King.

[imuninformedtwo]

Plays with serious power and explosion. Has the potential to be a steal. If he’s half as good as his brother, who just needs to get on the park, he’ll be a beauty.

[UUaswan]

few bids here i reckon

Move Syd, Carlton and Brissy picks back
