No disrespect or Dean or you, but I often feel supporters often rate their fringe players more highly than other clubs rate them. Whether we know them better or have rose colored glasses, who knows. That's just the impression I get. & while there might be many things to like about him, he does have his critics for a variety of reasons (you not being one & that's fine; I quite like his pace, his enthusiasm, his opportunistic finishing close to goal).
Please don't get me wrong, I don't mind Towers, but I'm not sure we'd get a mid-30s pick for him
Getting Biggs to Dogs only managed to upgrade pick 39 to 37.
And just because we got him at pick 22, doesn't mean we'd now get pick 22 for him. We wouldn't have got pick 15 for Daniel O'Keefe when we let him go.Last edited by goswannies; 18 September 2016, 06:00 PM.Comment

Speaking of 14s, that is what the Hawks get now, which they are going to try and use for O'Meara or Mitchell...Comment
-
He was actually pick 22, aged 22, and the date of the draft was the 22nd, which is why he wears 22. If he is traded, I certainly hope he gets more games at the top level than has been afforded him here.Comment

He was pick 22 wasn't he?[/QUOTE]
He'd be a decent pick up for a late second rounder for sure, I hope that we get something for him
As an aside, I really really want us to re-sign Nankervis after last night

I'd prefer their future pick as I think the Hawks have good downside for 2017

I think nanko is great for the scg
I'd like to see more on the big fields as I do feel that Sinclair shower a lot last year on the bigger ovals"be tough, only when it gets tough"

I wouldn't think he would be on any less than Mitchell so whilst I think that trade could work on a football level I can't see it happening from a cap space level.
Also I think he would be absolutely ideal for the Suns and the Hawks after last Friday simply have to make this trade happen.
The 2017 Draft is shaping as a really good one from all reports so it would be good if we had two draft picks at the table. And we have two or three players coming through anyway next year (Foote, Dawson, O'Rioirdan) not to mention getting the likes of Hewett, Aliir and Papley up to 30 senior games asap.Comment

Mitchell for Bruest won't happen because Bruest is probably on the amount of money that Mitchell is wanting.
If Mitchell does want to go to Hawks, I reckon we'll take a bit unders, next years first, which will in all probability be low teens, and a shuffle of picks this year, maybe us giving them out third rounder low 50s because we may not want to use it.
Not sure how the Hawks get the O'Meara trade done, would have to be pick 14 and a fairly good player as a minimum but even then GC won't be happy but that's the reality of Hawthorns trade chips. A bit like us with Tippett, pick 22 and Jesse was the absolute best we could do.
The more I look at our list and what we need to do, I'm think AJ to the rookie list and Marsh probably hasn't done enough to earn a senior position (Newman is a likely HBF next year) so a second rookie year for him. Papley & Newman upgrade, Ted, Drex and Hiscox gone, Benny to get a one year deal given recent form.
So that's four off the senior list, now 34, Newman & Papley on, now 36, two at the draft, 38 again. Need another three rookies. All this assumes we keep our fringe players like Nankers and Towers who will attract interest but maybe not enough trade value to let them go without a tussle.Comment

As much as I like Benny of the last 3 games he's played well against a team that basically wasn't there, terribly against a good team (and yes he wasn't the only one) and well against a good team playing poorly.
He wasn't great earlier on in the season
I'm not sure he's earned another year.
Guess it will depend on what other movements there are within the team.Chillin' with the strange QuarksComment

afl.com.au reporting we are interested in Zach Tuohy. Would add the run and carry we have missed since Shaw's retirement and Malceski's departureComment

- 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.
