Swans dearly departed list

[dazza]

Why get rid of a future ruck player in ericksen and a potentially good player in Josh Willoughby.

I believe that Willoughby needs time and hopefully next year he can step up like Schmidt did for a few games this year

Give Schmidt and Willoughby some time and see what happens but play them in the seniors if the Swans can

All he means is that he will be put back on the rookie list which officially he is still on.

I see him playing seniors more next year... rookie list would mean he cant! - There's no way they would put him back to a rookie!

Crazy, crazy!

Very very cheap shot

Fosdike was the least dissappointed IMO after the loss, my gut says if a suitable deal can be made we have plenty of his type in Malceski and McVeigh to play outside midfielder.

Could be a good swap in a three way deal with Hawthorn, maybe Ken McGregor TO Hawthorn, Everitt and 3rd round pick from Adelaide to Swans... (could work for all involved )

Keep Philips on the rookie list. Promote him to the senior list permanently end of next season. Chances are there will be a LTI so he can be promoted short term anyway.

I just heard on Fox Sports that Fossie is keen to return home to Adelaide. Former Swan Scott Stevens would be very handy at CHB.

Why trade for mediocre players in the year of the super draft? A first-round draft pick would be better.

Thanks SimonH - never knew the difference between inside & outside veterans before.

6-7 changes on the list sounds about right, of course some of the younger fringe players may ask to be traded to a club where they will get more game time.

I dont believe it. No one who has left Adelaide and moved to Sydney is 'keen' to return back to Adelaide to live. Why would they be?

Because they have ambitions to be a whacky serial killer and what better place to make your name

The list goes under the magnifying list this week. I'm sure players don't have to be de-listed this week but the names will be circled.
Who will be gone from the list this year.

My lists is:

1. Willow - retired;
2. Chambers - delisted;
3. Spriggs - delisted;
4. Matthew Davis - delisted
5. Simon Pilllips - delisted and back to rookie list
6. Josh Willoughby - delisted or traded.
7. Earl Shaw or Ericksen - delisted. One may go.

Other players may go depending on trades but as the other thread showed, the guessing is never ending.

Don't usually quote myself but couldn't help it on this occassion.

Shoot, man, you are The Mole. Swans office is right now trying to work out which of them is posting on RWO under the name Bas. Wonder who it could be?

I'm impressed Bas - only error was Phillips got promoted to the senior list, not delisted.

As an ex-Adelaidian, I don't find this amusing. Where do you live? I will come around and soak you in a tub of acid....
