    May still delist another player or 2 if we wish.

        I was quite looking forward to having a 200cm key forward who can take a mark (but can't kick), next to our 195cm key forward who can take a mark (but can't kick).
        Still, would love to see them working together. Here's hoping we can get him in the ND or PSD.

          4 off list, 3 draft (compulsory) and improvement jsut slightly with picks 23,45 and 47 then 66 and 67 if needed.
          We can still pick up KT and we keep Jesse (who maybe well see the light and show his potential is real).

            What a mess. We're the unfortunate fallout from this but I'm glad the (alleged) dodgy dealings have been exposed as a consequence.

              Wow, this whole fiasco could ultimately benefit us then.

              At least we'll have time to see if Tippett cops the full brunt of the AFL (deregistration) and if he doesn't front load his contract to make sure he goes to us and if he does get de-registered save our money for a rainy day, pick up our usual dud with our first rounder but get some absolute guns at 45 and 47 and maybe something decent at 60 something.

                The rational part of my brain recognises exactly what this is - I'm just in denial. We're after him. Still. Dumping a whole lot of players in the last hours of trade week to free up the cap and maybe bulk up our Tippett offer = guilty. 4 spots on the list open and i'm pretty sure one is there for Tippett.

                It's funny becasue i was one of the people who was quite keen about getting him right from the start, but now I'm starting to question his character and our logic.

                Are we so neck deep in getting him that we've departed from reasonable logic? I'm starting to feel like we've taken this thing too far and we should have aborted ship the first moment we caught wind of 'AFL investigation' and 'draft tampering'.

                I really hope the club comes out and makes a comment. As always we've stayed silent, but they owe us fans something don't they?

                  it is funny how things work in life

                  My guess is Jesse was on approx $250k to $300k pa compared KT being offered $1mill pa

                  Jesse has one year left on his contract and is at a point where he could level jump or remain on his current trend of incremental improvement

                  Imagine if Kurt turned out terrible and White went on and smashed it.........

                  I realise the strategy was to capitalise on 2013 being a back to back opportunity and it is a shame so far that we missed out on KT.........lets see how things pan out as Walsh and white have a real opportunity to go up a gear if they want it !

                    Its not often I totally agree with you Auntie, but there you go. I totally agree with you.

                    Maybe the Swans have dodged a bullet and Jesse will become a Schtar@!!

                      I'd say he's definitely getting de-registered for a period of time. The evidence is stacking up.
                      How is that any different to before any of this happened? If he goes to the draft, he'll be up for grabs and we always knew that.

                      If he wants to be playing for Sydney, he'll be playing for Sydney.

                        We'd have to be one of the few clubs in the market who could afford him. I do still think that if he isn't deregistered and is allowed to enter the PSD that we'll pick him up.

                            Please don't. I see it as a memorial, sort of a summary of all that we are about. I think it is hilarious that after 163 pages (and counting) it comes to zero!

                                I don't think the club can say anything as it may now be a legal matter
