      wish him the best, but hope we can keep him at a fair price for both parties.

        I wouldnt be surprised if Collingwood approaches him and offers the same amount but reminds him that it will go a lot further in Melbourne.

          I'm surprised that the club would be busy trying to get another deal with Shaw done prior to resigning Mal.

          I would of thought Mal(our chief distributor) would be a higher priority to keep on our playing list at this stage.

          It would help our footy dept greatly if Goodsey would make his decision, sooner rather than later, and let them know (privately) what his intentions are.

            I agree on shaw 2nd.

            i'm sure they have a good idea where Goodsey stands.

              Great servant. But wouldn't bemoan him chasing money at the end of his career. From Dean Moore's perspective he would probably think he has three guys chasing Mal's spot Tower, Rohan and Biggs one of whom will surpass him in two years.

              Would miss him though great player and character

                I would hate, absolutely inconsolably HATE to lose NicMal. But if Shaw retires, that's his running mate. It will all change. I can see someone take another tac here, especially with the lure of acting as a defence 'coach', which he would be brilliant at, and Roosey would use that lure too, who'd blame him. We already have a top flight one here, so...... Just because we are the Swans, and the best team in the competition, bar none, at every level, it doesn't mean that we can keep everyone all of the time. Waaaaaa!!!!! Deep breath....

                Then again, its all a furfy and nah, nothing in it.

                  We've spent a lot of money on Melcho. Do we get to keep the knees?

                      I'd rather keep Mal for a year or two than Frawley for 800k a year for 7 years.

                        Mathews and McPherson.....what wonderful recruiting coups. Since that happened I have had a rather empty feeling.

                          I wouldn't begrudge Mal if he went.... as long as he helps get himself a second premiership at the Swans in 2014

                          He's been a great club servant, but if Melbourne offer huge money to him, no one can begrudge him a big pay day to finish his career.

                          I'm also surprised that we wouldn't be talking to him before sorting out Shaw.

                            Agree totally, if it is an offer too good to refuse then I would say he should take it.

                            He'd be a good pick up for the Dees too

                            Plus he'd free up some salary cap as well to tie up Zak Jones et all early on...

                              Malceski going could be the best thing for the Swans.

                              Rohan and Jones are ready to make an impact at AFL level of the half back line. McVeigh could spend some time down back as well as Mitchell, Lloyd, Heeney and Hewitt make progress towards playing more time in the midfield.
                              Who knows what the club has done Matt80, you may be right. But they may also have budgeted for one of them too.

                              I do agree we have plenty of options however if we lose Mal.

                                If Mal goes then the half back line will need another excellent ball distributer. They could move Mcveigh back as a permanent half back to use his great foot skills.

                                This could open up an opportunity for Mitchell to play more through the midfield if he can get his body right.
