    Majak Daw as a rookie?

    I just watched his highlight reel. Seems to be quite an exciting athlete for such a big man. Any chance that he could become a swan in the rookie draft?

      I suspect it would be hard for him to move away from the Sudanese community in Melbourne. I think if he gets drafted, it will be with a local club.

        36% melb and 24% sydney make up the 20,000 plus sudanese people who have come to Aust in recent yrs.

        So not a big change to come to Sydney - and we would welcome with arms open........ no doubt !

              Gold Coast get the first five, then it's the usual order. We're number five so five to GC plus five means we get pick 10, 26, 42.

              We can take any NSW player before the roookie draft so Dylan McNeill should be coming our way providing one of the three uncommitted teams in the PSD don't take him. There is also a Sydney Uni player training with us too from memory.

              Pick 10 would mean most of the obvious choices like Dare, Grimes, Hooper, Daw etc will probably be gone. Tankers will certainly take Liam Jurrah's cousin with their first pick if GC don't.

              As we only have one pick in the PSD it would appear that we kept the two vets inside the list and didn't move them to outside in order to free up more PSD picks that would have given us first choice of the rookies. Maybe we don't rate any of them of worth a two year contract.

                Yes, Davis would be the other NSW boy of interest.

                    He was invited to train with Poor Power but had gone on holiday overseas so couldn't train so therefore didn't get onto the approved train with lists.

                    It's interesting the difference in Adelaide between the two clubs. Adelaide rarely has anyone train with them preseason whereas Power invite a couple of dozen every year.

                    With Power down to just one tested ruckman in Brogan, they are almost certain to take someone like Cameron Cloke in the PSD as insurance.

                      Adding to pick 4 in the PSD to round out our senior list we have the following in the rookie draft:

                      10. SYDNEY SWANS
                      26. SYDNEY SWANS
                      39. SYDNEY SWANS
                      52. SYDNEY SWANS
                      63. SYDNEY SWANS (International)
                      71. SYDNEY SWANS (NSW Scholarship)
                      75. SYDNEY SWANS (*NSW Pre Selection)
                      77. SYDNEY SWANS (*NSW Pre Selection)

                      Pick 63 is for the new Irishman, pick 71 is for Nathan Gordon and I would be shocked if we didn't list Dylan McNeil as a pre-selected NSW rookie.

                      So that leaves 10, 26, 39 and 52 and possibly 77 for another pre-selected rookie such as the Sydney Uni bloke that is training with us.

                      Hopefully a couple of tall fella's are left at 10 and 26 to take a punt on and Henry Playfair (if fit) will be looked at for picks 39 and 52.

                        Reason we kept both Vets inside the list, is that we didn't need the cap space and we are now allowed to name two of our rookies before the year starts that can play senior football without the need for a player to be added to the long term injury list.

                        That would indicate that Playfair will be picked up (if fit) and nominated as one of those rookies to play at any time.

                        Smart move by the club.

                          If that list is accurate we could have 10 rookies altogether. Is that because international rookies are not counted in the official "how many rookies you can have" list?

                            SYDNEY SWANS
                            Pre-season selections: 1 (4)
                            Rookie selections: 8 (10, 26, 39, 52, 63)
                            Locked in: Chris McKaigue - international (71), Nathan Gordon - NSW scholarship (75), TBC - NSW pre-selection (77), TBC - NSW pre-selection
                            Needs: The Swans may look at another young forward, but otherwise look likely to draft for 'best available'
                            In their sights: Along with Daniel Bradshaw in the pre-season draft, recruiting Irishman McKaigue and promoting NSW scholarship holder Gordon, the Swans will have access to two local NSW youngsters before the rookie draft starts. Expect them to take Murray Bushranger Dylan McNeil, with Sydney Uni's Sam Crichton in the mix. Big man Henry Playfair is a chance to be redrafted as a mature-age rookie.

                              3 (current) + 8 (picks listed) = 11.

                              Standard rookie list is 8 nowadays, plus the last three are special extras.

                              Non-Irish count as extras, though didn't seem as if Pyke was ever classified as International from that point of view (and not sure if they are only allowed to be extra in their first year on the list).
