Still to be reported anywhere in the print media or on commercial radio.
None of the threads on Bigfooty are carrying anything other the Swans board repeating what was posted on here.
We can comfortably say that while you may have heard something it may just have been said in jest on the Draft Talk Radio and you missed the context in what was said.

Too much like asking for injury for me ORB.
I like Primmy's Itzy, for Itzy Bitzy Spida."It's up to the rest of the players in the room to make a new batch of premiership players next year," Adam Goodes, triple Bob Skilton Medallist, October 7, 2011.

Fraser could be headed to Suns
Gold Coast Suns give Josh Fraser new ray of hope | Herald SunContracted Adelaide midfielder Tony Armstrong has attracted interest from Hawthorn, North Melbourne and Sydney.
Sydney is expected to make a final play today for Brisbane Lion Justin Sherman. It is believed Swans officials may even fly to Brisbane to try to talk Sherman out of a move to the Bulldogs.
So far he has refused to talk to the Swans, continually stressing he would prefer a three-year deal at the Dogs over four years in Sydney.Comment

I like it that there is a win/win going on with Itzy and Patty. Patty deserves a break, and I hope it all works ou for him, and Itzy will already know what's on the radar here, he had a brother who wanted to come here in the first place.
With Bevo, I don't want to see him go. I can understand that he feels let down, and I was NOT pleased he was dropped for the finals, and yes I agree he is a bit of a Benny Matthews player, not a lot of imagination or creativity, but a whole lot of heart and effort. I hope he stays.
Once again the Swans dealers are working in harmony and not playing mind games with the other clubs, but being straight up. That's My club.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

An interesting quote from Vesz in Emma Quayle's gushing article in the Age:
Young guns in win-win deal''I just think that you can fit in some places and not others. I thought when I got an opportunity to play seniors I did well, but I was never left in there long enough to get comfortable out on the field,'' he told The Age from his holiday in Bali.
I accept that the player may be at fault, but I think this is also the flip side of us recycling so many players. The likes of Kennedy, McGlynn etc are brought in as 'best 22' players - and these players usually respond because they feel wanted and not under the same level of pressure to prove themselves as AFL players. There seems to be a higher bar set for kids we draft and Vesz's comment that he never felt comfortable in the seniors is pretty concerning. I am sure the coaches have their reasons, just hope the same mistake isn't made with Johnston!"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
