absolute joke that collingwood gets more for thomas than hawthorn for buddy. especially when its pick 11!!!! clearly some favouritism going on here.Comment

Well yeah, it is like a war - except no one seems to have told the Swans that. Just very complacent. As long as we treat our incoming and outgoing players well, F- clubs like Collingwood and GW$.
Also, Cloke sucks. Give me Tippett any day. Oh wait, someone did! I thought White was going to become a powerful asset for us next year. But give me Buddy any day. Oh wait....someone did!
True that. McGuire is the biggest hypocrite to ever live. EVER. I am not exaggerating here. I believe him to be the biggest hypocrite to ever live in the history of mankind. Or should I say, hippocrite."Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the Swans win pretty."Comment

Nice thought Blood.. Sometimes you have to lose a battle to win a war. Wait and see everyone. Getting dudded is not on our agenda. (I do not count poor donuts).If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Guys, its not favouritism. Read the free agency rules and the concessional draft rules that apply. I'm not saying its fair but every club signed off on it. I'm sure that the concessional pick rule will go, maybe as soon as next year. The AFL and everyone else has been less than impressed of the affect its had in delaying trades this year. As an example, St Kilda and Nick Dal Santo. They had in Dal Santo's contract an option to trigger free agency if both agreed. St Kilda held out for almost a fortnight to see what trade they could get for him. When it became obvious that a mid 20 pick was about as good as they'll get, St Kilda then went to the AFL to see what concessional pick they would get if Dal Santo was released as a free agent. The AFL came back with a concessional draft pick immediately after St Kilda's second rd pick....currently about 22......bingo! so today they triggered the deal with Nth under free agency.
The majority of clubs argue that the club will eventually get rewarded for the loss of a free agent by way of having more salary to spend on targeting another club's free agent.Comment

I think White wants to go to Collingwood because it will be a good association for his business to latch onto. Suddenly there are a lot of extra eyeballs on his clothing brand and cub loyalty/sponsors will lead to tremendous opportunities to grow his label in the present and future. Moreso if his form holds on the other side of the white line.
Perhaps?Comment

I think the following story makes more sense than the swapping of players for picks in the high 30's and 40's

So much for dreaming about us trying to get pick 2 or even 1.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

BTW quick question
How many players can the Giants pick ahead of the draft picks ?
I was very impressed by young NSW player Jake Barrett but noticed he will be selected by the Giants in next month's NAB AFL Draft.
Barrett is from Temora in the Riverina and will be taken as a zone selection. The 17-year old is a tough on-baller with a great work rate and endurance and played rugby league until the age of 15 before switching to AFL.
Barrett is the first cousin of Hawthorn premiership player Luke Breust and is a second cousin of former Dally M medallist and NRL star Trent Barrett."be tough, only when it gets tough"

Jonothan Marsh is an interesting pick. He's very fast and really tested well in the combine. He is a bit bigger than Harrison. He could go anywhere from the teens onward. In the the championships he made a long run at high speed to take a great overhead running mark inside 50 that was very impressive. I think he's worth serious consideration at pick 15. If we can keep both brothers it could negate the WA go home factor.Comment

Jonathon certainly is an exciting prospect and we are a chance i think to pick him up
Now that our forward line is stacked i think swampy's brother would be very exciting .......jonathon is 191cm and a very quick as forward......he can be developing in the ressies for a couple of years and have our Rooster go back to the wing where if he can get his fitness up he is just damaging!

i read an article earlier in the year about marsh. it said that marsh was a little annoyed that he grew too much because that meant they shifted him forward when really he wanted to play midfield. i think its for this reason that we consider getting him. this means that he could very well become a big bodied midfielder to give kennedy a hand in that department. yes, we have a stack of great mids but none the size of kennedy. the fact that he's probably played midfield for most of his career, before this sudden shift forward, supports this. also, the fact that he's played forward and as the prospect video shows, means that he can drift forward and kick goals when needed, a vital aspect on which our structures are built. and then of course, playing with your brother will benefit both of them enormously, in terms of motivation, how much they enjoy living in sydney, etc etcComment

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.
