    Also regarding Rampe would love to see him more in the midfield next year it seems when he has too much time he over thinks situations, with Goodes and Jetta gone need someone in midfield with genuine speed and explosiveness.
    I agree with this, big bodied and with pace! Could do some damage in the guts, if only for short stints.

      Jesinta Campbell was on the Today Show this morning, was a pretty interesting interview.

      Unprompted, she made a point of mentioning how much training Buddy is doing at the moment and how physically fit he is, also basically said 'watch out for him in 2016' - really sounds like he's a man on a mission!

        Sounds like Jesinta is very good for Buddy as she always has his back, whether it is good publicity or bad.
        When are they getting married?

            Oh, I don't know, I'm fairly sure that I made a pun sometime during the season. Maybe even more than one.

              Honestly this kid lets just draft someone else instead maybe one of the lesser known academy prospects, even if he is drafted he won't finish his career a swan would be a waste of our time developing him.

                I am sure a decision has already been made. He's had all year to think about. How much more will he learn in the next 3 weeks. It may be a strategy to wait till the last minute for Dunkley to nominate, because most clubs will have made up their draft prospects lists by then and might leave Dunkley out of consideration given the uncertainty of his FS status.

                  Thats a good point but the way it looks to clubs outside is he is going to with a little bit of resistance and he will be targeted by Melbourne clubs from his first year like Aish and they're going to wave the "Family" card at him

                    But that's true for every non local player. Hanners and Parker have been targeted, so what's the difference here. If Dunkley does in fact choose the Swans, then he's making a choice to leave Victoria, something these other didn't have the opportunity to do; they just got drafted by a non-Victorian club whether they liked it or not.

                    One of my own arguments for passing on Mills if, for example, Carlton went mad and use pick 1 on him, is that he will clearly be targeted by the Swans and would likely want to be traded back to Sydney.

                      I'm sure there was a de listings thread but I couldn't find it. Little bit sad to see Lloyd Perris was delisted by the club. Horrible run with injury, and from all reports might have been a pretty decent player if his body had have held up.

                        Bored at work, our team-list is just about done...why not attempt another potential 2016 team?


                        B: Smith Grundy Richards

                        HB: Rampe Talia McVeigh

                        C: Lloyd Hannebery Rohan

                        HF: Heeney Franklin Reid

                        F: McGlynn Tippett K.Jack

                        Fol: Sinclair Kennedy Parker

                        Int: Towers Mitchell Cunningham Jones



                        Emg: Mills Laidler B.Jack


                        - Laidler very stiff to miss, but with Talia in and less rotations I opted for an extra running player on the bench

                        - I think the two S.A boys (Rose and Hewett) will push really hard for games in '16...both natural footballers with a heap of talent, excited about both of them.

                        - If Mills body can handle the pre-season then he will be a likely starter in Round 1...maybe in place of Towers on the bench.

                        I'm not as concerned about our supposed lack of depth as others...sure, a lot of it is untried but that hardly means they're not up to it. Can't wait for next season already!

                          listening to James Francou...........I couldn't help but think how he leans significantly towards KJ playing 50% up front ........

                              If they do I hope he practices his right foot kicking beforehand. A small forward needs to be able to kick off both.

                                Shouldn't all AFL players be able to kick off both...
