    Interesting that they never seem to quote their source or what evidence they have to support the statement.

    More muck raking by the Melbourne media

      It wouldnt suprise me if by the final year of his contract he is on that kind of money. So what. If the guy stays sound , by his fourth year he will be worth it. How many other young midfielders come into the game and straight away start averaging about 20 touches.

      He is only 18 games into his career dont forget. The guys has so much upside and has shown he is at AFL level. The swans wouldnt trade him unless they had no chance of keeping him and judging by the Jed Lamb experience even then they might just leave it to the draft gods if he was out of contract.

      I actually think our biggest risk might be Sam Reid. Other clubs would be saying if I cant get boyd or cameron or patton (which I find hard to believe that one of them wont have the go home factor ringing in their heads ) then Reid might be worth throwing big money at as the swans would struggle to fit him in with tippett and franklin.

        Mark Allan hates us. hates us. hates us.

        Always attacking, snide, dis-barraging and playing devils advocate on what we are up to.

        Don't give him the time of day. Absolute arse clown.

          I hope we don't lose Tommy Mitchell, in my opinion he is an absolute gun ...and a future brownlow winner

            Sammy is signed until the end of 2017 I believe ( or 2016, either way he's out of bounds for a while yet) , he signed a 5 year deal remember.

                +2. Forget this year too many injuries to make a serious impact. Hopefully a good pre season and he will fire in 2015.

                  Are Carlton offering up Everett as trade bait? LOL

                  Tom is a required player would be my suggestion if we can afford to keep him.
