Mega merged trading thread

[longmile]

With another preseason for the youngsters. The injection of the likes of Lamb,Mitchell and Nipper into the seniors. Hopefully a good run of fitness for Pyke and LJ.

I'd love to see these 5 in the team next year, more than anything else.
However I struggle to think who would move over for them.

Yeah, who'd be a selector.

Okay, people let's see if someone can come up with a team with
- Nipper
- Chops
- LJ
- Tom (needs a nickname soon)
- Pyke

Here is the team that played the Hawks.......

B: Rhyce Shaw, Ted Richards, Lewis Roberts-Thomson
HB: Martin Mattner, Alex Johnson, Nick Smith
C: Josh P. Kennedy, Adam Goodes, Jarrad McVeigh
HF: Ryan O'Keefe, Sam Reid, Gary Rohan
F: Jesse White, Matt Spangher, Ben McGlynn
Foll: Shane Mumford, Jude Bolton, Kieren Jack

Int: Tadhg Kennelly, Craig Bird, Daniel Hannebery, Luke Parker

As Grundy would have to come back you would need to drop 6.

OK
1.Kennelly
2.Spangher
3.White
4.Bird
5.LRT
6.Parker

and that's still leaving out Jetts and Mal.

I can't see that happening anytime soon Al.

Goes to show the competition for places next year will be fierce. Hopefully the glass half empty people will realise that there are exciting times ahead.

Been sitting back watching the talk about big changes needed and have to put my two cents in.... Our list is pretty hot. Put Pyke in as our #1 back man, zone defence to assist with speed, although he's not that slow. We do need a foil for Sammy, don't think JW will be it. Hating any thought of losing Sammy as he will be a massive star for us.
Luke Parker, Chops, Ranga Rohan, LJ, AJ all big players in the next season. TDL maybe, Jetts maybe, but certainly worth sticking with.

So you don't see any improvements in the group??

You still see no upside with this group??

I do think our youngsters have a scope for improvement, but will we improve more than the teams around us? I'm not too sure. Of the players you've listed above only Lamb and TM excite me about their potential impact next year. Definitely players like Rohan, Reid and Parker will improve, but maybe ROK will have a shocker or JB will deteriorate fast.

Frankly I just don't see how were going to improve our glaring deficiencies with the squad we have right now. Our forward line is still shambolic, our skill use from our top old players down is disgraceful, our midfield doesn't break even with their top 4 counterparts very often at all.

Sorry, but that's what I honestly think. We have too much pride to slide down, but do we have enough talent to move up? Without a significant list change I doubt it, but believe me, I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

#AFLdraft order (interim) has been released:

Will we trade to get back into the 1st round?

[wearebloods]

Our 1st live pick is now #43 (not 40, thx to compo & priority selections)

This is interesting, though a bit demoralising for some players.

An AFL website poll - who to keep, who trade
Sydney Swans Football Club - Rate Your List - AFL.com.au

A lot of people want to get rid of Jarred Moore - 75%.

79% want to trade Bevan.
71% Sumner
55% Jesse

We're not as tough as others. Twice as many Pies supporters want to trade Dane Swan and Travis Cloke as Swans supporters who want to trade Craig Bird (who's level with Bartel and Chapman over at the Cats). And Jolly and Ling almost up there with Jetta and TDL on the trade stakes. Maxwell is on 18% to trade vs 1% for each of Goodes and McVeigh.

Adelaide Now says "Tony Armstrong has already requested a trade to Sydney".

[scolsey22]

What is the deal with tony armstrong? I Havent seen any of his games, but is he worth anything to get.

[DLBIA14]

He's pretty much worth nothing. Half-back flanker with good footskills, but is apparently quite soft. Played the last few games of the year and did well, but that's doesn't mean too much. Had discipline issues (DUI i think), but a Swans fan as a child so you'd expect him to show some effort.

I'd take him, but wouldn't outlay a lot or expect much from his first season here. Good insurance though considering our defenders are mostly a 26+ group and TK is gone.

[DLBIA14]

Double post sorry.

[ABloodsMan]

He's actually not that soft, copped a beauty from @@@@@ but got straight back up. Youtube footage of it somewhere I'll try find it.
