      I dont think its a gimme that having Fevola would hinder white's development. Yes White was given more responsibility once Barry left and he did very well but making him your no.1 man as a 21 year old taking the best defender week in week out and sometimes being double teamed could have a negative effect.

      Having Fevola would give White a better match up, which would help his development even though he is getting less ball kicked to him.

      You still need more than 1 tall target inside 50 and White would be the no.2 man for a few years until fev retires at which point he would be 25 and ready to take on the position.

      Im not saying that this is what will happen but there is a legitimate argument that Fev would help White and its not gimme that he would hinder him.

        Can someone with more time please ring the club to find out if we or Brisbane have pick 39 (from west Coast).

        Draft tracker says pick 39 to sydney (but it also says pick 47 to Brisbane!!!!! so how could you rely on that?).

        Logic says pick 39 to Sydney, but you never know.

        Swans site implies pick 39 went with Staker to Brisbane.

        Someone, anyone?

        BTW WTF is it with the Swans nearly always getting screwed? 2 years ago Collingwood pay pick 14 for Wood (FFS), and this year they go from "we'll have Jolly for 14" to "we want to keep our first round draft pick"

        We'll lose Jolly for pick 30 and Chris Bryan probably.

          Thank you for saving me a whole bunch of typing. Well said.

          There's also an argument that the midfield kicking to a forward as talented as Fev might just lift their development, too. Think of White and Fev, Vez and Goodes all around our forward 50. That'd be exciting.

              So many seem more concerned about this No dickheads thing - lets look at the the old adage "takes one to know one" same really applies to dickheads too. So perhaps the Swans aren't as "dickheadless" as they like to make out.

                The * at the bottom says "* The two clubs will also swap later picks with the details to be confirmed by the end of Trade Week "

                Thus Brisbane and Sydney swapped a draft pick after the event.

                So we have 39, and Brisbane have 47.

                  It could be a good learning curve for the young fella's thats for sure.

                    I think I just answered my own question....it looks like we DO get pick 39 but we have passed on 47 to Brisbane. (which we got from ther Bulldogs for Barry). Sheesh.

                        How about "keeper", "minder", "handler" or "nanny"?

                          As I just mentioned in the other thread about the Fevwit .... Roosey has come out and restated that Sydney are NOT INTERESTED.

                          Swans restate lack of interest in Fevwit

                          Carlton restate lack of interest in Fevwit

                            ?We?re not even interested in Fevola. I keep saying it but no one believes me. We?ve got nothing to trade for him so we haven?t been involved at all,? he said.

                              AFL site now quoting Roos , for the umteenth time saying the Swans have no interest in Fev.....I hope for once Roos is being straight.

                                Eddie, or someone on his show, mentioned Lynch the other day.

                                Would you like to lock that in?
