Mega merged trading thread

[Bas]

I think when the posts start pontificating about what the thread is about, then it's time to move on.

Slow news night, no footy, it was inevitable

Simon Black is still uncontracted, maybe swans can offer him 2 year deal, mayube sweeten it with a 3 yr. Him and Goodsey are very good mates.....Swans list management are you listening

[Auntie.Gerald]

FF style player like Tommy Walsh still makes sense given our midfield depth.........and or another super fast HBF !

[Primmy]

A total of 48 pages of ..... ....... As far as Heart and Home is concerned, both clubs have a win/win. We also have a F/S. We also have a much earlier pick. Umm. I would rather trust the thoughts of the professional swans blokes who go out around the country watching said players in competition during the season than this mob of R&Wers who are by and large going on personal preferences and expections, but not exactly travelling the countryside on the prowl.

We haven't done too badly over the last few years. I expect we have a group of blokes in the box who are not exactly stupid. We also played in two finals matches with a first year coach. We exposed and blooded a goodly number of kids who have good heads on their shoulders, and who can play. It seems to me that "they" know more than "we" do.

I'm over it. Bring on 2012......I'll let you know if I rate the blokes at training. Only 3 months to go......

(Lordy I am so tempted to say "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow the house down")....

looks like we could be lining fev up for the preseason draft after all

Just imagine, a forward line with Reid, Walsh and Fevola.

Look out!

[Donners]

Geez, if you think this is bad, wait for the month-long trade and free agency period next year.

[robamiee]

well said primmy....
Reid, Walsh, Fevola not matter how you look at it, from an on field perspective does sound tempting.....

[DLBIA14]

Melbourne securing Mitch Clark on a huge deal (what a hypocrite he turned out to be...) actually bodes well for our situation with Walsh. Any cap space the Dees had probably just got wiped out so getting him to our pick in the pre-season draft looks more promising.

I mean Longmire, by the time he's finished up with us he'll be rated a worse coach than Buckenara

Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water...

yeah big call CAJ...i think the Swans footy dept have it all under control..after what Emma Quayle and Todd Balym have beeen reporting it was best LJ was traded....as long as we get another big bodied forward i will be happy this draft period

[cookie]

So CAJ is that because he traded LJ who had played 2 senior matches in his 3 years at the club and in both games looked like a deer in headlights and around the club was not prepared to put in the hard yards or follow the instructions of the coaching staff. The truth of the matter is that horse did a good job this year especially given that we lost our bookends at the start of the year.
