Dale Thomas

[Number 43]

On SEN this morning Anthony Hudson said that he had heard from a good source that the Swans will be making a lucrative bid for Dale Thomas' services at the end of the season....

Interesting. Just could not see it happening though. Pies have enough cash to keep him staying somehow. Plus he loves the spotlight. He won't go anywhere.

Anthony Hudson has been contemplating his belly button fluff too much. He will be out of a job with 10 so he is probably trying to flog some pathetic media hype. Such a knucklehead.

Biggest load of crap I have ever heard. If he leaves collingwood, it would be for the money at GWS.

Hudson got his Sydney teams confused.

Throw it off the Swans thread please.

[Captain]

Why wouldn't we make a bid for him? We certainly must have some spare salary cap.

Salary cap is one thing. What do you think Collingwood would want for him? Mitchell and Hannerbury?

We couldn't trade Mitchell - not until the following year. But realistically it would cost at least 2 of our most promising young players - ie Reid, Hanners and Rohan. And for them, the Pies would still have to accept "potential" over known star quality.

[Nich]

Maybe they just want Rhyce back

[Primmy]

We could give them Jesse.

Huddo is indulging in a bit of media splatter. In other words, he got it wrong. It would be GWS. I wonder if he knows there is another team in Sydney yet. Perhaps we should write him a note.

Mind you, having Daisy on board wouldn't actually annoy me.

What is the situation with Bradshaw's contract? Won't his last year still fall under the salary cap?

[Triple B]

Most improved player in the AFL by a country mile.

Won't happen though.

[giant]

Maybe an effort to ensure GWS pay over the odds for Thomas?

I imagine Collingwood will be struggling with the Cap given their recent success soon.

Maybe an effort to ensure GWS pay over the odds for Thomas?

Could very well be. Daisy will be laughing all the way to the bank.

[stellation]

He's a great player, I'd love to get him to the Swans. I can't see it happening, although I can see him in Sydney next year.

[Dosser]

I think it is hilarious. It used to be that whenever someone's contract was coming up for negotiation then it was put in the media that Sydney were talking to them (you remember that big, nasty club from the north who had such a huge salary cap that they could poach any player they chose...). What I cant understand is why, with GWS cashed up and shopping, people are still using the Swans for leverage in their negotiations? Are they unimaginative or just lazy?

[johnno]

Not going to happen folks.
