Jake Lloyd not signed in 2017

[Auntie.Gerald]

Was it Wayne Bennett ? who famously said addressing his pre season group some 25 years ago

"if you think it is talent that got u here you have got it all wrong"

"Talent may get u in the gate but if u want to be the best, if u want to be the best you can be for this club and team u will have to combine talent with an incredible attitude and willingness to work beyond what ever you thought possible"


the swans appear to take a diversified approach to building a successful team and a tiny part of that approach is building players to leave even via trade value compensation

You are suggesting that McVeigh, K.Jack & T.Richards have more "trade value" than Lloyd.
Good, I'll keep Lloyd & Towers.

Not at all. Are any of those in the top dozen?. Jack... maybe.

Signing Lloyd probably not a priority until we see what is happening to the salary cap next year. Could also be why we are ok with leaving Mitchell until after the season.

Also, with the Swans you never know what irons they may have in the trade fire, they keep surprising us every year it seems, unless we are banned from trading!

We will only be banned again if we deny hawthorn a 4th flag.

Agreed! I never saw Tippett or Buds coming until they did. Also, the Swans' ability to turn "mediocrity" into "something special" is what gets me excited too. e.g. Ted Richards, Craig Bolton.

Don't forget about me. Don't you think I'm Something Special too.

Hawthorn can't have every flag.

That's a whole lot of mansculpting. Get this photo to the Swans' branding team. Membership numbers will rise to dizzying heights, traffic spikes will crash our servers and D-Rex's "How you doin?" facial expression would won those umps over on Thursday night and destroyed those Hawks. My prediction? Callum out for the Blues; Tommy is in.
