I'd trade for the Tomahawk.

Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''. -
If he's uncontracted he can just go into the draft and pick his club. Seems odd though that he would want to leave now after so many years at the club. It's usually just the sooks who want to go home to mummy in Melbourne or are afraid to play without their big brother to look after them that want to leave Sydney. Why on earth would anyone want to live in Melbourne?

Potentially a good move for the club, although I don't like to see required players ask to be traded but in ROK's case he stuck with the club when he every right to be traded back to Melbourne after the death of his brother.
If we are going to trade for early picks, this is the year to do it as the quality looks very good especially in the tall brigade.
Someone like Steele Sidebottom around 5 to 10 would be a very adequate replacement. Not tall but great above his head, kicks goals and has a huge motor.
3 picks within the first round would be a nice change, maybe our second could be used for Kosi to play as a KP defender and 2nd ruck if Currie is not ready round 1.

[QUOTE=cruiser;416179]As long as we can hang on to those players rather than have them turn into Grants, Roccas or Fitzgeralds.

Fitzy did want to stay but the Swans traded him to get something because of his injuries. The other two, well Momma's cooking was too sorely missed.

Just watching On the Couch. Mike says that OKeefe is gone. He is not interested in Swans offer. Wants to go back to Melbourne. Big loss to Swans and no guarantee they'll get anything in return.
Gerard in shock!
My comment: Although he is off contract, he does want to go to a Club that may with the flag in next three years. That helps us.
He goes into pre-season draft. His chances to win another premi medal would be to stay with the Swans especially if we recruit well.

if he goes in the PSD he would surely end up at Melbourne. They will not want to trade away their high draft picks and have @@@@ all players to trade anyway, and even though he isnt young as such he would still be an excellent pick up for them.
We will get something for him if he goes as I dont think there is anyway he will risk it in the PSD if he is chasing another premiership, and surely that is what he is doing apart from going back to Melbourne."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

2007:
sourceO'Keefe first lived in Sydney with Ben Mathews, then with Leo Barry for a couple of years before buying a place. He says that, being an independent person, he was happy to head north and hasn't missed home.
There is more to this than a player wanting to move home. I thought his wife was a Sydney girl as well?

I don't understand this fascination with going back home, isn't he an adult? Melbourne is a decent torpedo kick from Sydney, so what's wrong with remaining loyal for a few years and moving back when he's 30?
I'll be moving to the US next year and I'm only 24, it just seems like a weak decision.
I love O'Keefe but if it's revealed he wants to leave to chase another flag, when he already won one with us, then I'll never be able to remember him in the same light again.
Disappointing.Comment
