Tha'ts right - now I remember. Thanks.Originally posted by liz
If that is McGuiness you're referring to, I don't think he was ever on the list. IIRC, the Swans were intending to take him in the PSD but the AFL ruled that they couldn't participate because there was insufficient room in the salary cap. He kicked up a stink because he reckoned the Swans had made him a firm committment.
I still thought it was an inexplicable decision. Same goes for Peter Everitt. I would rather they went for Michael Gardiner!Comment

How can you say he doesn't fit the Sydney mould when you admit you don't know what that is?Originally posted by Nolie
Sincerely hope the Swans don't pick up Spider Everett. For me he just doesn't seem to fit the Sydney mould - whatever that might be but whatever it is Spider IMHO doesn't fit it! I just don't like him. Maybe the tatts will clash with the red jumper.

I thought it was McDermott. There wasn't room in the salary cap for his asking price, but we were still able to participate in the PSD. It was either the PSD of '96 (when we drafted Kent Butcher) or '97 (when we drafted John Stevens).Originally posted by liz

Definitely McGuinessComment

To return to the topic of potential Swans ruckmen in 2007. I heard another whisper thet in addition to Spider we are chasing St Kilda's Ackland!!!!!
Now while I think this sounds pretty bent, it comes from the same source that told me that Ted was going into the ruck!!
I am also told we are likely to see a massive turnover of ruckmen with Ericksen and Chambers certain to go and possibly Doyle and Shaw.Comment

Ackland's quite talented, but has a poor attitude... possibly StKilda-related! Lacks a bit of height as a first ruck, but would be a useful backup and can be quite good around the ground.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

That would be a 2 year pay out for Torture if we were to let him go at the end of the year. Smart move to put him on a 3 year contract...heck smart to go for him in the first place
.
"Hack"land would be a poor move as well. I'd rather keep Ericksen.Official Driver Of The "Who Gives A @@@@ As The Player Will Get Delisted Anyway" Bandwagon.

has anyone got a source for the 3 year contract or is it the usual rumour and innuendo quoted as fact.Originally posted by Jeffers1984

having said that i would expect he would have been signed for at least 2 years
would be suprised if st kilda would let ackland go considering their ruck stocks are more dire than oursComment
