End of year trades involving Swans

[CureTheSane]

If you're going to derail a thread, at least get your facts straight. The Last Stand wasn't an 'Arnie' movie. It was a Kim Jee-Woon movie.

I agree and apologise.

From now on I will not use the term 'Arnie movie'
I will type 'action movie that Arnold Schwarzenegger played the lead role in'

I will also research who made all other Arnie movies and refer to them by director as well.
Actually I probably should distribute some credit to producers and movie studios.
I'll sleep on it and figure it out

Lol.

Is there like a RWO subdomain, sort of like the RWO eqivalent of the ressies? 'Cos until you get such facts right, you're dropped! At least you know what to work on now thanks to coach 'Boob.

BTW, I made the comment highly relevant by likening Arnie to the Swans, so there was no derailment of this overwhelmingly fact-enriched thread.

Can't drop me, too many injuries
Maybe make me the sub for a few games....

Kruezer, jack watts, david swallow,scully,patton,whitfield are the last 6 number 1's.

Wow...a bunch of superstars there:-/

Number 1, 17 year old is not worth that much. Just like a business wouldn't recruit a high school graduate on $100,000's

Any 17 year old who's 200cm 102kg should be dominating.

If he's going to be a "once in a lifetime forward" he should be kicking bags in the VFL every week, without exception.

There's a pretty good chance that Patton will be if his body holds up, and I think yesterday showed (as have many games this season) that Whitfield will be a star at AFL level. If he was a Swan he would have been in our side yesterday, and he's a very slight kid that is only about to turn 19 this week. David Swallow also will be a good player. If we were to lose one of our better players then I would be happy to receive Patton, Swallow, Whitfield or the #1 pick in return.

I think the concept of the #1 pick is overvalued when you look at the last 10 years of picks, but recruiting has really improved in leaps and bounds over the last couple of seasons. I chatted to someone a little while ago who is involved in coaching elite kids and making sure they get the right opportunity to be noticed- they made an interesting observation that about 5 years ago the need to improve heavily on scouting for the draft, with significant analysis of video and stats across a number of years, was identified and the kids starting to come through now are the ones where you actually have got access to that sort of information over a number of years; Watts, for example, would have been about the time of identifying you need it, but not being able to quite go back and get it.
