Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09 -
Hampson would be in the same boat as Jessie White, he won't move to us to play in the NEAFL
He is a similar player to Jessie in that he is very athletic but has some flaws in his game, he would be a decent pick up for a team looking for a 2nd a ruckman who can play forward.
Prior to Buddy I was thinking he would be an option for us if White and Mummy both left, but I think we'll draft a state leaguer as back up and roll the dice on a Pyke/LRT/Tippet combination, with Naismith/yet to be drafted back up giving Pyke a few games off over the course of the seasonComment

I've got a brazen idea, and I want people to know that I respect all players in this idea.
Lets go for GWS's number 1 pick and stun the competition again. We could give them Mumford, Everitte, Bird and Grundy for that pick!
We get Tom Boyd as Buddy and Kurts apprentice, while they get 4 experienced players (three of them premiership players) to build their team around!
We also reduce our salary cap and open up some opportunities for the rookies on our list!
Any tackers?Comment

yup - tacky-Comment

Seriously.... Seeing they can get Mumford for nothing in the PSD, do you really think Everitt Bird and Grundy are worth pick 1? Also, GWS don't need midfielders, Everitt is really a fringe first team player for us at best, and Grundy is a solid, dependable backman, but no superstar.
In addition, we don't need Boyd. Big forwards are not what we need when we are getting Buddy, they are certainly not an issue."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

The problem with getting a backup ruckman is that he can't be very good or else he wouldn't want to be a backup ruckman. I think Richmond are considering Hampson as a backup for Maric. I think Hampson is the level of player that we could go for. Otherwise, we can get someone like Mark Seaby on a 1 year rookie contract, and (or) get a younger ruckman in the draft.Comment

Rory Lobb perhaps? Heard a rumour mid-year that we were keen on him. WAFL ruckman for Swan Districts.Bloods

I've thought about this before. Certainly we would need to offer more than that and Reid would need to be part of the mix.
It is tempting but I would prefer to keep Reid and develop him as a KPM.
Everitt going makes sense as it frees up some additional salary as we squezze Buddy in.
Good to see that Perris has accepted a rookie list offer.

Yes please!! Wonder if Everitt plus Mummy would be enough to get GWS to swap pick 9 to 14, reckon ttop 10 could get this kidComment

It seems like teams are willing to let players go for less than in the past, sometimes for nothing. Maybe it's the way things are in the age of free agency.
If a player wants to get to a club, free agent or not, they can get there. Teams are just not willing to draft someone in the PSD if they don't want to go there.Comment

I've got a feeling you're right about this.

I think something like your suggestion is the best hope we have of getting another decent pick in the draft. Maybe along with Mummy and our 3rd rounder we could get GSW's 2nd rounder, looking like #21 at this time. There also could be a deal for a player instead of a pick.
You have to think now that the reason Mummy, White, Dre and Lamb were not offered contracts was in anticipation of getting Buddy and these 4 were selected as the one sthat had to go to make salary cap space.Comment

- 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.
