Aker seemed pretty keen on the idea on Before the Game last night, and very in-the-know about Bazza's likely approach to fitting inton the team, despite claiming to not know where the club stands on the issue.Superman still wears Brett Kirk PyjamasComment

Agree entirely...... A big fwd would of been teh difference and we'd be talking about a Dogs & Cats GF.Their pressure skills and contensted footy was great last night and they were better this year than last due to that, but they won't make a GF or win it next year unless they can get a big KP forward that can take a grab when under pressure and kick the goal they needed.
There is absolutely no doubt now that either Hall or Llyod will be at the kennel next year and they will sacrifice one of Aker, Johnson or Welsh along with Everitt to get one of them under their salary cap.

I'd be happy to take Everitt for hall in a trade...

From what I am now lead to beleive, any deal we do with the Dog's to trade Hall can involve us paying some of his salary.
That would mean that we could end up with a better deal (ie an earlier pick or a fringe player) if we agree to take on some of Hall's salary to get him the Dogs and under their salary cap.
If that is the case, that would make the deal much more interesting on our behalf.

Are you sure? Hall is out of contract so I don't know why the Swans would even contemplate paying part of his salary - even if it were possible.From what I am now lead to beleive, any deal we do with the Dog's to trade Hall can involve us paying some of his salary.

Usually clubs pay part of a players' salary if he is traded while still having time to run on a contract."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

If it meant getting a better deal with a trade, with the tonnes of salary cap room we've got, maybe it would be worth it. Hell, we'd probably pay his entire salary in exchange for a first round pick!
Can you actually do that though? If a bloke is out of contract and you trade him, are you allowed to pay part of his salary in order to get a better deal? Or is that considered cheating?Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

We would have to recontract him then do a trade. Interesting idea we pay some of bazza's wage, the dogs may get a flag and we get a better long term player. Everyone winsComment

Imagine you were the Doggies, and were stretching the salary cap as it was (as they apparently are). If you want Hall, you have one of two options: get Hall very cheap and trade Lake under value to relieve salary cap pressure, or get Hall for slightly more and have the Swans pay part of his salary, which would allow you to keep Lake. If I was the Dogs, I'd take the second option.
If it meant the difference between a 3rd round pick and a second round pick, and it helped them stay above the salary cap lower limit, I'm sure the Swans would consider it (if it is something that is allowed, I'm not sure if it is).Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

I fail to see the merit in paying any of blind barry's future wages.
I'm pretty sure the club will fail to see the merit also.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
