Swans are interested in White, Kerr and Didak!

Official AFL Website of the Sydney Swans > News Article > Roos tight-lipped on Kerr and Didak

At least seems to agree ....

However, the Sydney Swans coach ruled out picking up ex-Melbourne player Jeff White.
?I don?t think so,? he said. ?There was a little bit written on the weekend. Jeff still has something to offer AFL footy. I think he is a good player and he is only 31. I think from our point of view, probably not. You would have to relocate him from Melbourne and we have Daniel Currie who is a young ruckman coming up and Jake Orreal.?

Kerr for Kirk.

Emotion aside, think of what Kirk could do for West Coast, and what Kerr could do for us. Makes sense for both clubs, and given the length of the reaminder of their respective careers, a fair trade.

What exactly do you think Kirk could do for West Coast?

oh come on Kerr for Kirk- a player with plenty of time in his legs for one with a couple of seasons left in the league and no good for a completely rebuilding side. Give me a break- and Kirky would never play for anyone else anyway!

I believe that if theres anyone truly un-tradeable from the Swans, it would be Kirk. Due to him being the heart, soul and face of the Swans, it would be hard to imagine to pick up a relatively poorly skilled player in his 30s.

I am thinking of his off field contributions, as much as his on field contribution. He is obviously well respected by his peers and could have a stabilising influence on a club with a questionable culture. Not saying I would like to see it happen (I am no fan of Kerr - an excellent 3rd midfielder but we have plenty of third midfielders anyway) but if Sydney really wanted Kerr, that is the sort of trade we could do to make it happen.

As for the subject at hand and I've said this before. I would rather win a premiership with 22 dickheads than run last with 22 Angels.

In Diddles case that would be 22 Hells Angels?

Well, it wouldn't so S & G any harm, and the old DL might find himself a new lease on life in such company (at the very least it would provide for an interesting late chapter in the memoirs).

What about Graig bird, Luke Ablett (who has been rubbish this year) and our first round pick. That would probably be fair they get a good kid and a pick and we get a quality mid fielder. Imagine adding Kerr to our midfielder it would have to dramatically improve us!

Are you suggesting Ablett sweetens the deal?

One thing is clear by Roos' comments on White - one rookie getting a promotion is Orreal, and from what I saw at some of the reserves games, he earned it. Currie will slot in Rd1 and brain em but Orreal offers real hope too

Orreal does not need to be promoted. He is only a first year rookie. I don't think he will be promoted. I doubt he will see much footy in 2009.

They may take the opportunity to promote Murphy if they feel he will play early next season.

Count me in on that you two.
