I was going to post this message on my initial 'Rumour - Franklin' thread but I couldn't find it. Could it be that Liam Pickering or Kinnear Beatson deleted it? :}
I'll say again as I said a few months ago, where there is smoke there is fire. I'd heard from different sources a few months ago about Franklin to the Sydney Swans. And didn't you think it interesting that Robbo on 360 asked Goodesy the question. Rumours have been floating about the Swans as a destination for a few months and have recently heated up. My take on Goodesy's response to Robbo was that he was a little surprised to be asked the question. And his answer was interesting..."I think he'll be in Sydney next year". He didn't say GWS and Adam certainly wouldnt admit to Franklin coming our way to give away any of our recruiting strategy. He had to say no to that question. If Franklin does nominate us I can tell you with certainty that most people , as with the Tippett deal, will be blindsided.Comment

I think people are overestimating what GWS would give up their no 1 pick for. It ain't happening for mummy/shaw or mummy/white. It'd need a lot more IMO. Not that I think we really need to b trading fr the no 1 pick anyway..Comment

On one hand, I can't see any team coming up with enough goods to get GSW's number one pick. On the other hand, I can't see how anyone but GSW can afford Buddy. On the third hand, What will GSW do with Buddy, Boyd, Patton and Cameron?
Something out of the ordinary has got to happen. But what will it be?Comment

According to George, it's not a lie if you believe it.
I watched that live, and if goodes was lying id be shocked. He straight up said buddy would be in Sydney but not with the swans.
If he was privy to this I am sure he would have said something anodyne like I'm not part of the recruitment team and they make those sorts of decisions.
Just can't see it happening.Comment

Seeing how Lake has delivered for the Hawks, makes me more keen on the idea to get Chappy for a year. Playing primarily as a forward, would arguably offer more than Jude did in this role this year, if he can stay fit. If he can't in sure well manage without him but if he is fit come September, he's a match winner.Comment

The Buddy to the Swans rumour is funny. It's gonna cause lots of COLA-induced meltdowns over the next few days. But it's pure fantasy - the AFL have already deemed he's GWS bound to try to right a few of the failures of the team's first two years of existence.Comment

Nothing on tv last night was there. But it was a beautiful day in Sydney what were all you people doing on pages and pages of trade talk!
Mind you.....its all kind of wonderful, and we can do nothing about it until.....
Buddy goes to GWS to live life in peace and quiet, and replace the power house that was whatsisname.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Article in The Age reckons (1) White has asked to go and is talking to the Pies, (2) Hawks could be interested in Mumford.
With relief ruckman Jesse White having already asked Sydney to be traded and set to meet with Collingwood as early as Monday, the Swans could be keen to retain Mumford.
Should Franklin, as is expected, leave the Hawks, with the man himself declaring a decision will be made no later than Tuesday, this would open up salary cap space to help fill Mumford's needs.

If Jesse and Mummy were to leave regardless of personnel holes, that's a chunk of cash available. Not buddy enticing money. But geez it could be interesting.
Worse case they both leave and we don't replace a ruck/forward in time. Pyke to ruck, Tippet to pinch hit will be serviceable enough but not ideal.Comment

My suggestion assumes Mummy is going regardless, therefore I'm not suggesting "trading Mummy out". I'm talking about making the best of the situation if he was to leave.
And IMO, LRT(when fit, which I admit is a bit of a worry) is an upgrade on Grundy at FB. But without LRT we have AJ coming back and possibly Reid going to CHB, putting Richards at FB....ie Grundy can be covered.
But hey, if all this Buddy talk is real, then it all goes out the window.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
