I would have thought it unlikely we'd rookie list any players we passed up on last year unless they have improved out of sight and I haven't seen that. Of the kids we overlooked last year Baron-Hay looked the most impressive for mine this year in the NEAFL albeit on a small sample size of games.
I would think we'd rookie list both Brown and Davis if we can. I would think we'd take our option on Brown and list him if we have to but I suspect that we may miss out on Davis.

I reckon there is zero % chance of us being in for JOM. He'll blow out our wage structure and most certainly cost more than Mitchell. And I'd prefer to keep Mitchell. He has class but for mine JOM is a crocked show pony and I fully expect him to go to the BombersComment

A fully fit JOM could be every bit as good as Chris Judd, but I wouldn't want him at the Swans. We already have an abundance of elite midfielders and future elite midfielders. 3 AAs this year with Mills and Heeney waiting in the wings. Hewett and Jones won't be far off elite either and Lloyd can play in the midfield as well (he's technically a very good inside midfielder; could spend more time on ball when he becomes physically stronger). I'd be saving our money for a future KPP star. We've got midfield coverage for the next decade.Comment

We may well have a future KPP star in our academy being drafted in 2018 so future picks next year may be sought after. B-O-G as an under 16 in an Under 19 Final with four goals against a North Shore side stacked with quality. NSW/ACT MVP at the recent U16 Nationals. I expect young N.Blakey to play a fair bit of NEAFL the back end of next season as an under-age U18 player, he is that good.
If he was a yearling with the bloodlines he has (his sister represented Australia as a sprinter in the recent World Junior Championships) he's fetch top dollar but let's see how he goes I guess.Comment

interesting discussion.
outs at end of 2016 - Teddy (retired), Tom Derickx, Hiscox, Mitchell (traded most likely), McGlynn (he might get another year if he plays well in the finals).
Rookies to finish - Melican?, Galloway?
Can't see Sam Reid being traded. He and XR would play a similar mobile forward role. As already mentioned by some on here XR has provided a good boost for our forward line structure. He's mobile, has good hands and likes a goal.
For the QF on Saturday. Mills to come in for Harri Marsh (probably). What about Zac Jones in for Harry C? I realize Harry C has finals experience but Zac has developed well this year.Comment
-
Can't see Jones coming in this weekend. He played 3/4 game last weekend - his first for well over a month. If he plays well in the NEAFL GF this weekend I can see him pressuring one of the Harry's for a spot in the senior team's later finals. (The other Harry will almost certainly already be out of the side for Mills.)Comment
-
Daniel Wells hasn't resigned with Norf yet. Probably one of the few North players I dont mind, could even see him in red and white, think he'd be a really valuable asset for us at the end of his career. Would be a nice change to have a silky/classy midfielder instead of all our in and under guns and dodgy disposers
I am aware he is 31, just always liked the bloke and was thinking aloudLast edited by longmile; 8 September 2016, 02:08 PM.Comment

Gotta love what a donkey Damien Barrett is - today's Sliding doors:
"the Hawks add Mitchell, Vickery and O'Meara ... ... there's no reason they won?t go after Fyfe and Hogan next year. They just get deals done while other clubs are too scared to even pick up the phone."
Imagine if the Swans tried to do the same the uproar there would be...."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

This is more of a dig at other Melbourne clubs, because they are more worried what Sydney clubs are doing than watching what is happening in their own backyard. He was just releasing a cat among pigeons and see what a reaction would be if the Hawks win another flag this year.Last edited by Zlatorog; 9 September 2016, 09:47 AM.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. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

Good post......
I must admit I've woven some of Ludwig's suggestions in there as well.
They work under a 'flexible' salary cap at the best of times.
