2010 Draft/Trade Resource & Discussion

After getting dropped for the semi you could kind of guess Jesse's name would come up in trade week, possibly with him wanting to go elsewhere.

If every player had a sook and wanted to move club after they got dropped for a game, there would be an awful lot of players moving each season.

I really hope he doesn't go. A proper season playing back-up to, while learning from, Bradshaw could do him a world of good.

Scary stuff to hear we made a bid for Libba Jr! May well have been a bluff to get the Dogs to get them to use their 2nd rd pick, but imagine if they'd called our bluff!!

Bevan's manager Paul Connors was on radio saying Bevan was unhappy at getting dropped for the final and would be okay with going to a Melbourne based club.

I agree, but it seems a pretty common thing when a young player that has played a chunk of games through the year to get the team into the finals is dropped for a veteran.

Trade Murmer: Paul Connors, Bevo's Manager has said he is happy to head to Melbourne and is upset about being dropped for the Semi..

Suck it up Bevo. I hope that it just a rumour because I'd be disappointed if that was the reason getting thrown up. One swallow (or in this case an elim final) does not a Summer make.

Why on earth do we need O'halpin?

The flip side of our obsession with recycling players is there are less opportunities for our own young players. Next year should be about getting senior games into Reid and Johnston (lest depriving them of opportunities as with Veszpremi this year).

Also when Seaby and LRT return to full fitness suddenly we have a surplus of talls.

Sherman's manager Pickering saying he thinks Sherman worth about late 20s - early 30s pick. He thinks Bulldogs compo pick (about 29 according to him) would be enough.

I wouldn't mind Libba Jnr; apparently he is a better player than his father and isn't troubled by white line fever.....

The Swans mob have never been anything but straight up when it comes to trades etc, it has put them in good stead with other clubs, so don't see them changing their styles now. If they want to swap Ves for Everett ok by me.


RIGHT. Well that's Libba off the list.....going to the dogssss.

I too hope we don't touch o'hAilpin - I dont see any great upside as compared to Jesse and Johnston. In fact I would be quite happy for us to walk away from this year's trading empty handed...

That's quite irrelevant Bas, Andrew Walker was a former number 2 pick doesn't mean he's worth a top 5 pick now.

He wasn't saying both would fetch pick 11. However, they are both high draft picks, they've both shown tremendous talent but only in flashes, and their careers have followed very similar patterns so far. They are very comparable.

Apparently Sherman has nominated Dogs as his preferred destination.

Bas wrote "Patty was a first round pick in the 2007 draft - pick 11. Unfortunately not many in Melbourne have any first round picks to give up for him. A second or third round pick would be useless to the Swans. "

The implication to me was that Patty should fetch a first rounder because he was a first rounder himself. I don't think I have misconstrued the meaning of his post.
