      Maybe.

      In the ned, winning a game is about kicking goals.

      I wonder how much room we have in the salary cap.

      Players will be statring to get greedy if we win the flag again.

      Really hard to maintian a teams form when they are at the top of their game like the Swans.
      Look at the Lions. If someone told me they'd be down the bottom of the ladder after they won their third cup in a row, I'd have laughed.

      We need to be constantly developing young guys through the seconds, as well as trading in average 20 gamers to turn into stars and also trading established stars into the team.

      A hard task for any team, but when you are constantly fine tuning a team at the top of their game it all becomes a bit harder when lplacing new players in the team.

      Tarrant is a star, and the Wobbles supporters would be dirty to lose him in the whole.
      That is enough reasn for me to want him personally, but I hate Collingwood just that much

        why would we start getting players like him now when we are at the top of the ladder and are not going to get high draft picks for a few years to come, we should be trying to pick up young players to set us up for the future, I just don't want us to turn out like Brisbane in a few years.

          I'm sure Brisbane had the same idea. They wanted to remain at the top and did their best trade and draft wise to do that.

          In the end a team needs to have a good spread of players on their list who all perform as evenly as possible.

          I think Sydney have a fairly even team even with the few 'reputed stars' we have.

          We have an awesome mentality bred into the players, and the medical staff have obviously found a few secrets.
          We are in a good position.

          As for trade and drafting, I have to have faith in the Swans and their coaching staff.

            I always have faith in the recruiting staff especially in the recent past, I just get worried about what we have to trade to get good draft picks or what we miss out on to pick up a player like tarrant, I know MO can't play forever and he would be a good replacement for him. We have a good record of making problem players into good team players but I think Grundy could be developing into a fine forward for us, not as flamboyant as some one like tarrant but has the workman like attitude that fits with the team.

            sorry for rambling

              I would be very concerned if we offered a 1st round draft pick.

              Sounds like Tarrant's manager is just testing the waters and Sydney's name is always thrown up for anyone looking to move clubs.

                The idea of Sydney trading for Tarrant baffles me. The forward line is clearly our strength. Shouldn't trading and drafting activities be focussed on addressing the immediate areas of weakness (if you are in a period to challenge for a flag) and then drafting judiciously for the future.

                On current form, does anyone think Micky O is not up to it for 2007? Can't think that anyone would. We have some decent, albeit inexperienced, forward line back-up in Vogels and Grundy.

                If we need to boost the playing list for next year to remain right in the hunt, one would think that another ruckman (can't rely on Doyle not getting injured and Shaw/Erickson are still raw and untested) or a midfielder with a bit of class would be the priorities over a talented but erratic and injury-prone flanker masquerading as a key forward.

                I'd much rather see the club make a play for someone like James Kelly, who seems out of sorts at Geelong. He's had a horrid year but is a natural ball-winner with more than decent skills. He was brilliant in the Geelong SF last year and has played a lot of good football against the Swans (and other teams).

                  Sydney's public showing of commitment and discipline and subsequent on-field success is a fantastic vetting process in itself.

                  Firstly the success attracts prospective drafts/trades.

                  Secondly the disciplines scares/deters lazy uncommitted talented hacks (read Tarrant).

                  This means only the truly focused and non-DH's need apply.

                  And finally, the transformation of imports, Baz gets the disaffected thinking that they can turn their careers around at the Sydney Swans.

                  Nice position to be in.

                    We're assuming Tarrant would be played in the forward line. Maybe they're considering him as CHB material.

                      tarrant is a key position player. the swans have plenty of key position players, both already developed (hall, leo, ROK) and developing (lrt, vogels, richards). sure, tarrant can be very good on a given day, but he can also be very bad. the swans shouldnt trade a draft pick for him, not this year's draft thats for sure, and we should focus on getting a ruckman- either everitt, gardiner or a good young ruckman with our first pick.

                        Kelly is really just a good ordinary player with moderate skills. Tarrant has a better upside and taller players are more important. I think this would be the reasoning. I know for a fact that the hierarchy is still concerned about MOL's longevity.

                          What, a 30 year old may be approching the end of his career? Really?!

                          As mentioned by other posters: Grundy and Vogels

                            Neither Grundy nor Vogels would be in Tarrant's class. And in talking about MOL's longevity I think they are concerned more about the quality output because of his @@@@y knees. He's rejuvenated himself of late but how do we know that it's not taking a lot out of him? I know that members of the training staff are concerned about his body.

                                Tarrant has beena problem and misfit since he came to Collingwood. Why would you want a bloke who is on the P155 half the time and fighting for the other 50%.

                                He is a soft player and talk about him playing up the ground it utter folly. He is too soft and I doubt that he has ever put his head over the ball or put himself in the position to do such.
