Master stroke by freo if they pull it off (or maybe they are !)
Gives them two outlets forward, takes pressure off Pav, and would make them a very likely prospect next year.
Plus they need the next two years to be productive if their current crop is to come good (bit like us really), so picks dont mean much to them at this stage.Comment

Swans increase bid
This seems dumb to me, but apparently it's true.
HAWTHORN ruckman Peter Everitt's chances of being granted his wish to move to Sydney improved today, with the Swans putting an increased trade offer on the table.
The Hawks yesterday rejected the Swans' initial offer of a third-round pick for the ruckman, prompting Sydney coach Paul Roos to say Everitt might be headed for the pre-season draft.
But, with Everitt's manager, Ricky Nixon, assisting in negotiations between the clubs, the Swans today upped their offer to a second-round pick along with an exchange of several lower-round selections.Comment

Not sure if this has been posted... but since the Hawks turned down our previous offer. We upgraded it:
-Everitt for 2nd round pick and lower-round selections...
damn... deadly akkuret. You beat me to it...

Hmmm... I think 2nd round would be just about the upper limit of what I would consider an acceptable price for Everitt. I don't really much care if we have pick 50 instead of 45 - that won't make much of a difference.
If Hawthorn turn the offer down, then they will get nothing for Everitt. IMO they would be mad not to consider it very seriously.
Then we'll see. If we make 2 more grand finals in the next 3 years for one more flag, it'll look like a master-stroke. It's a gamble, but that outcome isn't completely in the realms of fantasty (who'da thought we'd be saying that just 3 years ago eh?)

Re: Swans increase bid
Not surprising, we give up our second round selection but advance a number of positions in the third round with a swap with Hawthorn.Originally posted by DeadlyAkkuret
This seems dumb to me, but apparently it's true.
So it's out # 33 and in Spida, out # 49 and in # 40.
If that is what is on the table we get Spida and drop 7 spots in the draft for our second pick at # 40 and lose # 49.

Re: Re: Swans increase bid
If this draft is the super draft that everyone is talking about, dropping 7 spots is huge, and Hawthorn know that. What happens if Spida does a knee in round one and we only get 1 year out of him? that'll make giving up our 2nd pick look even more rediculous than it already is.Originally posted by DST

At this stage, either possibility is equally likely. The deal's not done yet, let's see.
IMO if you're always looking 5 years ahead, you'll always be 5 years away from winning the flag. It's a gamble, but I think it's one worth considering.

There maybe a problem with that third round scenario.
The Hawks have a f/s to be taken in round 3 and according to some, you can't swap your f/s selection if you intend to use it before the draft.
So it maybe a 4th rounder swap which puts us out # 65 and in # 56.
While I have no issue with us using our # 33 for Spida, I would have liked to see us at least progress up the third round order as part of the deal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification

It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
