Mattner to Sydney (Fox Sports News)

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Confirmed!

Pick 28 for Mattner. Done!

He has murdered Barry Hall over recently years. Will most definitely help take some of the pressure of the over-worked Craig Bolton.

He is a very good defender. I wonder why Adelaide are so keen to get rid of him.

? Are you sure you're not thinking of Ben Rutten?

According to this article, http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/new...695823242.html

Mattner for #28 and Doyle.

Also mentions Sam Power for a third or fourth rounder, but fails to mention the third rounder is going to be used on Craig Bird.

Conflicting reports from the Advertiser: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/s...-21543,00.html

Sam Power if he comes up is very good news too. We will have a well balanced midfield with grunt, skill, a strong mark (Power) and pace (Mattner)> If the Power deal comes off and with Mattner we have improved our midfield significantly. And yes we do need mobile strong marking midfielders to take the Benny and Bevo floaters.

This article says that the mattner deal is not a done deal and they may leave this until friday afternoon to sort it out

I hope they don't try and recruit Miller instead of Mattner

Excellent!!

Sydney have swung a great deal. The Adelaide fans are SPITTING CHIPS.

A lot of positive thoughts on this thread but I'm not convinced.

Mattner's disposal has been questionable at times (he's got one of those slow "lifty hands up in the air" kicking styles) although he has generally linked up well through the middle with the Crows.

On the positive side it's great to have a player from the mighty Double Blues playing for the Swans again.

He'll fit in very well with the other cant-kicks in the team, Jude, Kirk, etc.

"he has generally linked up well through the middle with the Crows."

Unfortunately for him, we don't go down the middle, we go round the boundary into the pockets...
