    The decision has already been made. He, and the club see him primarily as a forward and relief ruckman, the same with McDonald. It worked well in the first two games but was exposed against Hawthorn who went with 2 ruckman.
    The forward line was not helped by poor delivery throughout the game, but it became apparent in the last quarter when tiredness set in. Five day breaks between games are always an issue for all clubs.
    Disappointing to loose, but not the time to make wholesale changes
    Disagree, What Amartey or Logan have done in the ruck the first 2 weeks is worthy of wholesale change.

        And who is going to kick the goals if you drop McDonald and Armartey. It is worth noting that the stats suggest that the Swans are winning more knockouts than their opponents in the first three games. Obviously Grundy is the reason, but he also spends more time on the field. You loose one game after a 5 day break and you want wholesale change!!!!!!.

            Someone makes a regular post on Reddit where they watch Gettable and post a summary so others don't have to.

            In that summary, it was stated that the Swan "weighing his Future" is Amartey, who is some kind of free agent this year.

                Thank you for that, and thank you to everyone who responded to my previous comment regarding my brother. Cancer is nasty if it's untreatable and aggressive.

                  Amartey as a free agent this year. And Chad will be next year when WCE throw $2m a year at him with the promise of an improving list.

                    More on Amartey's contract discussions: Trade talk: Amartey and Swans “a fair way off” in contract talks (sen.com.au).

                      Thanks TS. Comparing Amartey to Curnow right now in working out his worth $$$$ is ridiculous! He wants to stay. Club is not in a rush to sign him up as yet, as they (rightly) would want to see a bigger sample. How on earth can Sam Edmund know whether our salary cap is tight? Based more on assumprion with getting Curnow and probably not taking into account the salary dump with Hayward and Ollie's departures. Rosas and Serong would most likely be on less money (based on their picks)?
