Schnieder and Dempster off to Moorabbin

[smasher]

Couldn't believe what I have just read in todays Melbourne Age.
Schneider is off to Moorabbin which we expected but another of our boys,Sean Dempster,is to join him at the Aints.These deals have to be signed off of course.
I was amazed to read about Dempster who,according to Roos "would come after Kennelly,Malceski and Mattner and probably wouldn't get a game"
I can't believe they are off loading Dempter.He has history at the Swannies after being recruited under the father/son rule so they will be devastated .
It seems that Roosy is attempting to meke a new side...

All for pick 26. Thats seems awfully cheap for 2 premiership players.

I hope that is not the deal that is to be done.

That is bull crap i hope their wrong.

That just has to be wrong.

There is no way two premiership players get traded for pick 26.

mmmmmmm an interesting one alright

how about for pick 9?

might be alright although very disappointed to see them go..........

[swantastic]

This sounds better....Schneider and #11 to Saints and Sydney would get #9 and #26 from Saints.

I can't find the link online but I was just reading hte Telegraph and Roos was quoted as saying he thought things were being hyped too much and still though that Schiender, Bolton and Buchanan will play for the Swans next year.

So all up, we get Mattner and Fisher (not exactly world beaters) and 26 for the loss of Schnieder, Dempster and 28.

What is Roos thinking?

I really rate Dempster and I think he will be a great pick up for the Saints. I for one will miss him if this is true.

They said that in the Australian I think mate.

This was this morning's edition of the Daily Telepgraph.

Cool, I hope it's true then. And it's been blown out of proportion.

quote from DT.

SWANS coach Paul Roos last night remained adamant the club would not be giving away any premiership heroes after a fruitless day at AFL trade week.

Roos admitted that midfielder Jude Bolton and small forwards Amon Buchanan and Adam Schneider were more than likely to stay at Sydney despite their names being floated by the club during trade talks.

"Things have been blown out of proportion a little bit with them (Bolton, Buchanan and Schneider)," Roos said.

"I'm almost certain nothing is going to happen with them (in trade week). We are not going to give any of them away for nothing, that's for sure."

If that deal is true then Roos has well and truly lost it.

[Zlatorog]

Unless the Swans have some salary cap issues I think it is blown out of proportion. Media has nothing to publish at the moment because of the Judd saga so they'll publish any rumor they can get their hands on.

I'm for trading players but this deal does seem a bit ridiculous. Oh well there is still today and tomorrow.
