Who do we really want to keep?

[Cheer Squad]

Drop in quality price of growth | The Australian

Mick Malthouse suggests each club will lose an average of five players to support the new Gold Coast and Western Sydney franchises.

It would be fairly easy to nominate five players we'd be happy to hand over to the new clubs, but who do we really want to keep on our list for the next few years at least?

My top 5 "must stay at the Swans" would be:

Jesse White
Darren Jolly
Jarrad McVeigh
Craig Bird
Jarred Moore

I'm guessing you mean (with the exception of the best ruckman in the comp) top 5 YOUNG players that must stay at the swans, in which case I agree with your choices except I would have Vez in my list and omit Moore.
I love Moore, but I think Vez has the X factor that we haven't had since the fall from grace of Davis.

[Captain]

5 players from the list and the draft. So really 2 or 3 from the list.

My 5 must keeps are:

Vespremi
Grundy
McVeigh
Jolly
Jack

[Plugger46]

Of the young guys:

McVeigh
White
Bird
Veszpremi
Meredith

I wasn't thinking only of the young guys. Jolly turns 28 this year and I think it's really important we get several more years service out of him.

I'm not sure about Vespremi just yet. We'll see how he goes when he gets back from injury.

Have to add kieran jack to that list, he is gonna be a gun!

[AnnieH]

I'll keep everyone except Ablett.



(Yes, I know that's very harsh, but seriously, Ablett's gotta pull up his socks. IMO he's becomming a liability to the rest of the "team".)

[hammo]

Jolly signed a 4 (or 5?) year contract not that long ago. That will take him up to his early 30s, so if he were to depart then, I don't think it would hurt us that much.

Keepers :

White (He will go )

Well with that attitude he will. Hold onto him for dear life. He's a big man who doesn't seem to have a nasty habit of getting injured.

And he can kick and mark to boot.

[johnno]

I aint handing over nobody, if they try, there gonna get a taste of....... CHK CHK BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

[Hartijon]

Keep everyone in the current 22 except Ablett. Keep Pike, Vespa,Johnston, the scholarship boys and Laidlaw and the Gold Coast can have the rest.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

If White goes then I'll have a real deep hate for the GC
