Mega merged trading thread

I see no good reason for anything but the Sumner/Armstrong straight swap this trade week. I'm mostly happy with our squad and I think there's still improvement in most of them....That, and there isn't really anyone much to go after by the looks of things.

Even then I'd be happy to keep Sumner (if he was comitted) and throw a late draft pick the Crows way.

I am a little nervous however that the Swans have been a bit too quiet and have something big in the pipeline, they are good at keeping these things under wrap. We have the salary cap room but no obvious trade bait which is the concerning factor

[swansrob]

Hopefully that extra salary cap room is being used to keep the likes of Reid, Parker, Johnson, Rohan, Hanners etc...

[caj23]

There is a rumour on that other site that Schneider may be returning to the Swans.

Extremely unlikely but it would make me very

Rats desserting a sinking ship??

[DeadlyAkkuret]

We're getting Milne?

[Big Al]

We're getting @@@@?

That's an instant ban.

Our forward line is so diabolical I'd take him, 50 goals from a forward pocket is nothing to be sneezed at

[S120]

Our forward line was far from diabolical over the last 6 weeks of 2011. Just because they weren't kicking 20 goals a week, doesn't mean they weren't functioning well. When Rohan, Parker, Reid, Spangher and White all came together (with contributions from Goodesy, ROK, Mummy etc.), our team played much, much better.

[caj23]

At this point in time we don't have a forward line to take us to the next level, hopefully that will change sooner rather than later.

Compare those names to what we had in the forward line in 2005 - Hall, Micky O, Davis, ROK, Schneider all capable of kicking 5 goals on their day. We don't have one player (excluding Goodes who is a mid for mine) who is capable of kicking 5

[robamiee]

TDL pops up as one who can kick 4-5 for us...but needs his chances..
Please not Milne....Would welcome back Schneid's consistantly popped up for the saints bagging 2-3's a game...
i still think we need a power forward that can pop up and kick 4-5's consistantly. (but who is avail...How about getting BBBH for 1 season)

[Go Swannies]

I spoke to TDL tonight and he said he's signed for two more years. I said that was great news and he said he knew what he had to do to play seniors.

Later spoke to Jesse who told me that he's not taking a break as he wants to be super fit for R1 next year - said he was just fit before the start of the season and that wore off as the season went on so he wants to be fitter earlier. Both were very keen about 2012.

MMMMmmmmmm. Just heard a whisper that the radio stations in Adelaide are talking about a trade of Bulldog (Moore) for Armstrong!!!!!

[Ratna]

Don't want to see Moore go anywhere, but he is a luxury to have in reserves and good luck to him if he goes elsewhere

[Triple B]

MMMMmmmmmm. Just heard a whisper that the radio stations in Adelaide are talking about a trade of Bulldog (Moore) for Armstrong!!!!!

Gee, you'd do that trade in a heartbeat.

As popular as Bulldog is and all that, the reality is he's destined to remain in our reserves if he stays, so a reserves player for a potential seniors player is a no-brainer...

[Bas]

Sumner has no trade value. He can just opt out and get delisted. The Crows then pick him up in the draft because nobody else will take him.

So it makes sense that they will go for Moore. It would be win-win for both Clubs.

I think the Armstrong trade will be done early.

Anyone guessing how many trades the Swans will do overall?

I'm guessing 4.

Moore - Crows
Bevan - GWS
Seaby - GWS
Meredith - a Victorian Club
Jetta - Fremantle. Because we always semm to be giving Lyon someone

OK it's 5 but the last one doesn't count - I hope. However, someone might want to take Currie as a two player package.
