    Is Watts a FA yet? If so, Melbourne would get a compensation pick for a former no.1 draft pick.

      Delusional. Watts is about the same level of intensity at the ball and man as Towers. Cant defend like that.[emoji15]

        There would be few more supportive of Jets over his whole career than I have and I will be devo if he leaves, but if he is determined to move back home, I see the above scenario as a win. Certainly better than Mummy for nothing...

          Surely his no.1 credits have expired. Average player, so there should be no compo.

            Operation get Bennell.

            We HAVE to get this bloke.

            Hear me out. We all know what he's like off-field. I agree, it is a risk. But it's a risk that if it doesn't work out, he can be delisted or traded, and he's out of the club. Similar to the Hawks going for Dayle Gartlett. He stuffed up, he was goners.

            Listening to Wayne Carey on triple M yesterday he was saying the reason so many footballers go off the rails in Gold Coast is plain and simple, the lifestyle up there and the way everyday footballers live. The amount of off-field things happening at that club is a sign that most of the blokes simply are peanuts off field and their is a terrible leadership culture at Gold Coast.

            We have a great culture at the swans and I'm sure we can nurse Harley and turn him into the player he can and has shown he can be.

            He is an absolute gun and would easily replace Jetta if he was to leave. Bennell, Hannebery, Parker, Kennedy, Jack, McVeigh, Mitchell, Heeney. Wow.

            Get it done Kinnear. We would be effectively getting a number one draft pick for a second rounder. Absolute bargain if it works out.

              If we want to get Bennell, Goodes has to play another season and maybe Harley living with Goodes. It appears that Harley requires a strong indigenous leader to guide him in life and footy. Could be a top 5 player for 6-7 years.

                100% agree here! He is too talented not to be given a chance! He'd be the best kick in the team by a country mile if he joined us and would be a major weapon on the small S.C.G. I would rather see him running around in red and white than in Hawks colours playing against us!

                  We should listen to Carey. He is the King of going off the rails off field.

                    Jaeger O'meara might be available at the end of next year, (out of contract) and is looking for something similar to Patfull and is buying an investment property in St Kilda and is extremely ambitious about the business side of his life.

                    Sydney is the Capital of Business and Finance and after saving money by letting go the list cloggers and some retirements, Sydney is in the pole position and NO TRADE BAN.

                    Not much avaiable with free agancy next year with Jack Riewoldt and Todd Goldstein the standouts with rest a bit too old to got anymore then 2 or 3 years.

                      He'd be on top coin, an absolute gun in the making

                        Exactly Troy. The bloke is unbelievably talented and we would be silly, almost negligent, to not look at getting him for a first round pick.

                        He will thrive in our team/environment. Get it done Beatson.

                          It looks like GWS key forward Cam McCarthy wants to return to WA with Freemantle the likely suitor.

                          This probably rules out the possibility of the Dockers doing a deal for Jetta in the off season unless they offer their end of season 2016 1st round future pick.

                          If he wants to go to WA, then West Coast looks the most likely destination.

                            Doesn't look like McCarthy is going anywhere. This year anyway. Another miss from Damian Barrett.

                              I know the AFL likes to control their own media, but I do wonder how much the clubs enjoy seeing rumours and speculation being effectively generated and run with by the league itself.

                              We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                                I'd be happy to take a punt on Bennell; extremely talented footballer. Some of his 'offences' seem kind of trivial. Issues that could seemingly be easily resolved in the right environment, and really when did we last hear of a Swan 'mucking up?'

                                The other player that comes to mind was Curtly Hampton. Seems to be struggling to break into the GWS 22 and strikes me as being quite talented. GWS' issue is that they have had to nurture too many young players at the same time. I reckon his development could be fast-tracked at the Swans.
