2012 trade targets

[liz]

Roosy just said on "on the couch" that with a decent forward (Bradshaw) we would be a top 4 side. We must get a KP forward in the trade period this year. Must must must

I don't think it is that straightforward. Firstly, we are probably a classy midfielder away too, at the very least. Kieran might be part of that answer, once he gets his fitness back, but we probably need another as well. Though I am very encouraged by Hanners' last few weeks. Whatever was on his mind for the first month or so of the season seems to have been sorted out. His play yesterday was full of purpose.

Secondly, good forwards don't grow on trees, and when clubs have one, they are generally unwilling to give them up. And if one happens to be fed up with his club and looking for more money and a move to Sydney, chances are he will head further west than the Swans.

I think Menzel looks a very fine player. He was excellent on the weekend for Geelong and I'd love to see him at the Swans.

There's a kid called Mickeljohn who is captain of one of the SANFL teams that may be worth a look!

I think we are still a couple (possibly 3) genuine midfield rotations short at this stage. Potentially we have a couple of those on the list already in Parker. Merideth, Lamb Jetta and possibly Rohan. With another in Mitchell to join next year. If we could just uncover a quick outside midfielder with our second or third pick like we have with Reid, Alex Johnson etc that would be like gold at present.

The big question at this stage is whether we persist with using White up forward or send him back to defence or play as a second ruckman.

We are going to need to know by the end of this year as to whether we trade for a key forward, so I would place White at FF from this week for the rest of the year and just say to him you have until the end of the year to make the position his own.

The Swans plan to feed him raw meat, throw Bondi Beach sand in his face over summer, make him do the Bridge climb without a safety rope and wrestle pit bulls at Blacktown----------------> Our new Full Forward

Ha, my family do that to me as survival training for the annual Pies game at Olympic Park. And I see the same pit bulls there.

Time to put in a phone call to Warwick Capper...

Spot on! One or two class outside mids are No1 priority on my recruitment list.

Left field <----------------------------------- Get Jack --------------------------------- (of the Riewoldt variety ... I like the kid)

Contracted or not, I'm sure there is a trade somewhere for him (a couple of outside midfielders or something, one of them could be a current captain)

We can offer, um... a chance of making the finals ad infinitum... and Bondi is nice?

Better than always finishing 9th. So we can have our choice from Richmond? I think Jack, with all his talent, might fail the "no dickheads" policy. Still a better prospect than his cousin.

Soooo Wayne Carey wants to get into coaching..... I think we should bring him in as our forwards coach! then we can have 4 ex Nth Melb players in our coaching staff, he would surely be able to help out Jesse and Sam!
