    For swans hawks it was a nothing trade. Was an upgrade of a low draft pick of 1 place.

      Spangher was traded to Hawthorn for pick 64 - their compensation pick for Clinton Young. We selected Matthew Dick.

        Surely the best half back flank in the AFL after a career best, All-Aus year and on a possible contract of 500k a year for 3 years is worth a tier 2 (end of first round) compensation pick?

          It's been said here before but I just want to say it again: the double-standards in the AFL media are astonishing. Hawks and Geelong can go after who they want, but Swans would be cheating if they did that again. Sick of reading about Cats and Hawks circling decent free agents but Swans get criticized. No one should criticized for going after a player - period.

            Maybe our list might be changing after Tom Harley becomes the Football Manager for the Swans replacing Dean Moore.

              Expected with Membrey, but still disappointing.
              I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
              We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                  The comment on Frawley's decision to join the Hawks on the AFL site: Great coup for reigning premier. No-one is better than Hawthorn at attracting quality players to play for them.

                  Zero outrage about how the best side in the competition can afford to strengthen its squad still further.

                    The Melbourne media is farcical...I bet we won't hear the Peter Gordons or Eddie McGuire's of this world kicking up a stink about it either...

                      But Hawthorn only develop their only players - at least thats what I heard screeched at Swans fans on Saturday.

                      There won't be one iota of whining come from Eddie's mouth or anyone else on this.... although given what his reported demands were, he will not be on too much less than Tippett.

                        You can't buy premierships! That's what I heard on Saturday anyway.

                            What a shame about Membrey wanting to go...

                                Does anyone know of any players that the Swans are targeting? No mention of Swans in the incoming sense, as opposed to outgoing, anywhere I look. Any key defenders ready to go?
