      Weren't those trades in 2009? That well-known football sage BT refers to the 'Swans 2009 superdraft'.

        They were in 2009 but represented changes for the 2010 season.

          Good one Ugg, as recently as the 2009 Super Draft.

          Didn't twig that it was so numerous as well as top notch quality.

            50 per cent success has to be counted as pretty good, I suppose. Especially considering how well the good ones have contributed.

            We will be looking pretty good in three years if half of the current crop of new recruits make similar contributions within the next three years.

              I realise the 2013 season is only just started but I thought I'd look ahead a bit to the 2013 draft after reading this 'fluff' article on James Aish, as a teaser to the 2013 draft.

              Aish makes it count - AFL.com.au

              After seeing him play on a few occasions last year, including the SANFL Grand Final... see:
              Aish already hot property - YouTube
              ...(and- showing my age - his dad and uncle in a couple of SANFL Grand Finals) I'd be happy to bet James is the No.1 draft pick this year. Indeed, if it wasnt for his age, IMO he would have been a top 5 draft pick last year.

              And then happy to double up and bet he'll win a Brownlow sometime in his career, if he doesn't injure himself.

              James Aish is a Freak-of-Nature footballer, who the Swans absolutely must find a way to draft.



              And if you're not yet convinced, here's James' pedigree:

              Aish Run and Thomas Goal 1984 Grand Final - YouTube
              and
              Aish Magic 1981 - YouTube

                So are you suggesting we tank? We'll need to start this weekend to give oueselves a sporting chance of finishing below Melbourne.

                  Nah I think they've well and truly got the jump on us now.

                  We might as well just try and win the whole shebang again...
