Ahhh... Thanks for clarifying. Wouldn't be surprised if they are thinking of potentially throwing a big offer his way to try and shake things up like they did with Tom Mitchell.Using TapatalkComment

Unless they are already planning to tank to secure the number one draft pick, they can't really do that. In the year that Mitchell was drafted, they were guaranteed the first three picks in the draft so they knew they could take him if he chose to turn down his FS rights.Comment

I'm not so sure GWS would want Mills that badly. Besides a week with them will just reinforce how much better our club is.Comment

I was a little worried when I first read the article as the Swans were listed as 'nil' players attending. I suspected players weren't allowed to train with us because Eddie had complained again. I notice the list has been changed since then. I will think no further bad thoughts of Eddie ....... for today.Comment

A kid from Coffs Harbour, Jake Brown, could be a gun. Great kick, good vision, runs all day, smart and speed. Won the first 3km and 2nd in the second. North Academy smashed the city kids in all running tests. Possibly moving to Sydney and 2 more years in the Academy. Could be anything. Needs a bit of beef and muscle.Comment

Another fluff piece from the AFL about Mills. But good enough to make us feel warm and fuzzy about snaring another quality midfielder in this year's draft.Comment

Ahhh he's going to be a gun! Will be good if he can sneak in another 5 or 6 NEAFL games this yearTwitter @cmdil

Josh Dunkley has a blog:
Tough start for top AFL draft prospects at Florida training camp - M.afl.com.au
As well as the players and staff, there are 14 clubs represented on the tour by AFL recruiters, and we were introduced to them this morning.
Having spent last week training at Hawthorn and some time at the Sydney Swans late last year, I know a few of the recruiters and the tour will be a good chance to get to know them better.
Scott Clayton from Gold Coast spoke to us and said they see the trip as a valuable exercise in observing how we interact, behave and conduct ourselves, and I think we all understand that.
A lot of people have asked me about the Swans and whether I would like to go there as a father-son player if the opportunity comes up later in the year.
At this point in time there's still so much water to flow under the bridge and so many things to work on, and I haven't really thought about it too much.Comment

To be fair to Josh, his chances of getting to the Swans have been put into question by Eddie's pouting. He will realise that there is a chance that the Swans might be forced to choose between him and Mills, so a circumspect response is not out of place.
It's a pretty well written piece for an 18 year old. Assuming it hasn't had a thorough editing from someone, it restores my faith in the Australian education system. Not a grammatical error in sight (that I could spot). And decently composed too - informative, respectful yet still with a little humour.Comment

Don't say that, even if it is true.
I agree that Josh was properly diplomatic with his answer.
But what surprised me was the part about Bob Hawke:
It is really shocking that a former PM still has to work at the foreign exchange desk at his age. You would think that he would have enough money to retire. Unless .............. Josh meant that Bob Hawke was the customer doing the currency exchange. But surely Bob would know you get the worst rates changing money at the airport. Certainly a former Prime Minister, in charge of the finances of an entire nation, wouldn't be so wasteful with his own money. Unless ..................... well, that would explain why the budget is always in deficit. Unless .............. maybe Josh's ghost-writer made the whole thing up just to fill space. I once had a job doing that sort of stuff. Now I doubt that Bob Hawke was even at the airport.With some time to kill, we had a walk around Sydney Airport and happened to spot former Prime Minister Bob Hawke exchanging money.
Here's Bob in his usual pose at the cricket, not at the airport:
And here's Bob on his day off from working the foreign exchange desk at the airport, making a little extra cash doing vaudeville:
Hard not to like Bob.Comment

Looks like Eddie's sent in the big guns to try too woo Dunkley Jr. away from the Swans. Will he stop at nothing to destroy us???
"Over summer, Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury texted me when he was in Sale during Christmas break asking if I was up for some training with him, and of course I was never going to knock back that opportunity."
To be fair, he followed with this...
"As I've played all my local footy in Sale, we're pretty close friends with the Pendlebury family and it was great to get some training in with him to prepare for this camp and the year to come."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.

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.
