List changes this year

[Bloody Hell]

Surely TDL will remain on the list. His aerobic capacity seems to be the issue, not his silky skills. I'd like to see where he's at after another pre season.

His market value would be zero. Considering the space on the list I can't see him going anywhere.

[BRISWAN]

It'd be a tragedy to let TDL go!!!
Cannot see how this is even under consideration.
Another thread mentioned somebody spied Sumner
Present at Tadgh's announcement.....can anyone shed more light here?

At the very end of the press conference the camera pans across the team in the room watching, and in the very last frame you catch a glimpse of what looks like Sumner on the outermost left.
It's very hard to tell though.

I wonder in the case of Sumner, if he does want to some time return to AFL, that we might do a trade with one of the SA clubs so that he can resume with one of them and not have to leave the State, etc?

I think Sumner has the makings of an AFL player, very good evasive skills. Can't see us delisting him and he's worth nothing in the trade market.

He'll be given time to sort out his problems I reckon.

I heard he was seen flipping burgers with Elvis.

I very much hope so. I'm a big fan of Sumner (see my sig), and he's exactly the sort of player we need right now.

Also, it should be pointed out that we have no idea the nature of Sumner's reasons for going back to SA. It could be homesickness, sure, but it could be something else entirely, such as a family illness, etc, which he needed time off for. That being the case, there's no reason he wouldn't come back to the Swans when the issue has passed.

[Swansinger]

I reckon Paul Bevan will be off to the Dees.

I reckon Paul Bevan will be off to the Dees.

That would actually be a really good match fwiw. Bevans hardness and competitiveness would go a long way there.

I don't think players have the luxury of saying they want to return to the AFL sometime. These days you are either in our out. His only chance is to be traded and he has absolutely no value. His best hope is if we delist him is a rookie spot in SA.

He won't fit in, he likes bruise footy...

Even though I made that statement before, I agree with you and others about the trade value. I guess we'll know soon regarding it whether we delist him or if he chooses to leave and then go for the rookie spot in SA, etc.

Reminds me of Fred Campbell. Left the Swans because of some personal reason and then turned up next year at St Kilda.
