I haven't seen Khan play so can't really form an opinion, but as we still have Jesse on our list, would we really need him?

Maybe he's being looked at as an option if Tippett isn't available. Everyone seems to be assuming he'll be a Swan this time tomorrow - give or take an hour - but I wouldn't be completely shocked if Brisbane took a punt.

I think you could be right, although do you think they may be a little gun shy given the Fevola debacle?

This is my thought also. I just don't see the Lions board agreeing with it after all the crap that hit the fan after Fevola.
Having said that, a very good friend of mine is a Lions member and he's convinced they will grab him.

Quick Question

If I am a kid in Sydney and I want to play for the Swans...........

a) I need to love in the Eastern Suburbs or North Shore and or Northern Beaches to attend Swans Academies as these are the specified swans regions ?

b) I can grow up outside of sydney or in the West or South but would need to put down my address as per the above regions

ie if I lived in the Blue Mtns but didnt want to play for GWS I could easily do my final year of school then move to the inner city to live and attend Sydney Uni and then go for the draft the year after ie at 19yrs of age?

You can also live in the southern suburbs as they are part of the Swans' area too. GWS have the south-west.

That said, the club has chosen to keep its list size pretty constant at 44 over recent years, which suggests there could be just three live spots up for grabs.

L games

Do you think the rules governing the number of listed players that can play against non-AFL NEAFL teams is a factor?

[Triple B]

Now that's a bit of a shock. Good luck to him...

Seaby back to West Coast

[Nico]

I think we should recruit him just so we can shout KHAAAAAAAAAN Shatner-style every time he kicks a goal

If Australian singer Maria Mercedes married William Shatner should would be Maria Shatner-Mercedes.

It is probably a factor, though we play each of the other AFL clubs three times, accounting for around half the pre finals games. I suspect cost is a factor together with a perceived optimum ratio of young players to development coaching resources.

man oh man

the funny stuff just keeps rolling on..........its like a few forumites have hit the dentist daily for some major root canal work and still got the lingering effects of happy gas !

Think your probably right (yes again), there's nothing in any article that says when the Swans were expressing interest in Khan. And I can't see the Swans genius' not having a plan B in case the Tippett thing goes up in smoke.
I'd like to see another Sydney boy in the AFL, but I reckon Dennis would love to see this particular sydney boy in the seniors.
