    then again the Deleido option is really pure speculation based on media reports about his unhappiness..
    2004 I believe.

      I suspect the Tigers would be happier with just our first pick than clogging up their list with marginal (espec Brabazon) players. If they wanted Ablett, fair enough, but "added extras" usually devalue a deal, not add to it.

          Most likely and besides - as much as we need some outside run, everyone has to go for the pill sometimes, and when it's on, my 84yo granny is more committed to a contested ball situation than Delidio has ever shown.

            Is she still under contract - or should we talk?

              I would have taken Foley and Cuz. But I still have my eye on Delidio, Coughlan, Tambling and Cothcin from Richmond as all good potential Swans.

                She's too busy trying to find Chuck Norris to take on that "custard guts", as she calls him.

                    Yeah, won't happen.

                      Exactly, not worth it.

                        I'd trade Meredith and a 1st round draft pick, or the 1st and the 2nd for him.

                        He really is rather good.
                        I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                        We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                          It's the most shallow draft in quite a few years so this is the year to trade picks for players.

                            Actually the next 2 are going to be much worse, better off holding off until next year when GC come in to the comp

                              Dunno, because I have not seen them play. I have seen Jake King play. Who knows, that pick 90 might be the next Adam Goodes or James Hird. One thing we know for sure, Jake King won't be!
                              He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.
