    It's probably the only thing that will save it.

      If things were all cosy on the Swans front, you'd imagine he would have just signed when he was managing himself and got on with it.

      It's a serious concern.
      Posted that on GF morning in another thread.

      I just KNEW when those @@@@ing parasites who masquerade as managers got involved there was something brewing.

        Gutted..... but let's just hope he and other teams play fair and give us an equal....though somehow I doubt it....

        Our forward line is going to be stuffed soon.........

        Big bad barry will retire in a year as will MOL.
        ROK is gone........

        who the hell are we going to structure around? Goodesy?

          He probably wants another shot at a premiership before he retires and realises he needs to leave the Swans to do it.

          I wonder if he'll be the last?

            No, there is no problem with the leadership group. Those who said a couple of years ago that these things end in tears don't know what they're talking about.

              Kind of sucks, but it happens.
              Think the Eagles are happy with Cousins, Judd and now Kerr leaving?
              Would really suck to see those 3 go so quickly.

              I'd suggest that there is an imminent O'Keefe for Didak trade looming.
              Like it or not.

                sad to see him go but he has been a good servent at the club.

                I just hope we get something worth while for him.

                  Would be happy with that..ROK is a great player, Didak has the brilliance, my opinion if we got that done, we would be in front..as much as we rate ROK.
                  Still think Dal Santo is in the mix here..

                    I still want to refuse to believe this is true! The lads been a true champion for us so it will be tragic to see him in someone elses colours next season....
                    Losing him and Nick Davis leaves a bit of a gap in the forward line so I just hope more than ever that the powers that be come to their senses quickly and give Barry Hall the contract he wants (and deserves!). Losing all three will be devistating, but very much on the cards.

                    If pebbles has to go then I thank him for all the wonderful memories and wish him all the best in future.

                      About the right sentiment. Nothing lasts forever, and as long as we get a decent trade, I'll be sad to see him go, but look forward to a change in team.

                      Sometimes a change of scene is good for both parties.

                        I think some of the potential obvious players are Ray, Didak, Lovett and Dal Santo.

                          I guess Hall will be staying now. Or we'll really be @@@@@@.

                            Not quite there yet. But younger and with plenty of potential to be just as good.

                              maybe it increases nick davis chance of staying a swan

                                Well that really disappoints me.

                                Let's hope he gets he heart set on a particular club and we get a good deal.

                                Another thing that might force a deal is if Melbourne can't afford him or don't want him and West Coast, Port or Freo show interest, that will mean he has to find a trade to ensure he goes to Vic based club.
