    So whats your point....A free space on the list, for young player with possible potentual, would of been infinitely better than any of the 4 old hacks mentioned.....

      If we didn't take Daffy we wouldn't have Hall.

        In any case, Daffy was a better pick up than Allison by virtue of playing fewer games for us.

          Wrong..All that needed to happen was to pay out Daffys contract. Then we could of picked up a kid in either draft.

            Er, no, as he was still on the senior list.

                  Trade him...

                  I am serious.
                  The Swans are likely to go into downturn shortly. We may do 'alright' next year but 2009 looks decidedly ordinary.

                  A clubs ability to stay near the top is their movement whilst they are at the top.
                  This may prove difficult if he is out of contract though.

                  We can realistically demand a player (Cameron Wood) and another young player, or draft pick for Jolly. He is one of the premier ruckman in the competition. Has added around the ground ability to his game this year. Has a premiership medal.

                  This will give us a ruckman that will develop next year under Everitt (and Currie in 2009 under Wood). Another draft pick, or young player who we can add to our squad for the future.

                  We could also look at trading the 'overrated' players on our list such as Jude Bolton, who is getting on and we would not really miss.

                  If we are to make a quick turnaround at the top, and not bottom out in a couple of years, now is that time to cement our future.

                    could be spot on there mase. do agree on the b1 idea , interesting on champion data stats he is rated up in 0 s ahead of a lot of notable names.
                    lets take advantage of the way he is overrated in melb. we may just get some decent players out of this that would allow us to stay very competitive without having to bottom out.

Jolly showed what he could do in 2003 when White was injured, however when White returned in 2004 for a full season, Jolly was relegated back to minimal game time.
                      Wasn't Jolly the 3rd ruck for the Dee's behind White and Broadbridge?

                        No. I think Broadbridge was a backman. He was only 191cm.

                          It did take a while to remove that bar of soap.

                            Let's get this straight. Mrs UnJolly wants to go back to Melbourne because of family. This I can understand. However, she will stay in Sydney for another three years if a contract is offered?

                            I think the latter is being used as an excuse to save UnJolly face.

                            Trade him. Donkey gets a contract for at least another year. He doesn't make it, gives a rookie a chance of promotion.

                            I have no problem with that. Who knows Donkey might be eeee orrrrr eeeee orrr right next year.

                              I don't think we will ever get a decent return from Donk.

                                Donk is finished. Let's face it, he's had 5 straight years of chronic injuries.

                                As for Jolly, he would command a top 10 pick easily and Roos has to make the decision whether we start rebuilding now or at the end of next year. The top 10 pick would be really handy for this but do we have one more year in us to challenge for the flag?
