    Yes, I suppose that Jordan Butts, will go well with our Jordan Foote. I wonder if there are any Kneebones in contention for next year's draft?
    If Hiscox were still on our list, Butts could be a problem.

        The club will know down to about 3 players who they are going to select. The old days of making it up as you go along are gone.

          It always amuses me that the so called draft experts think they can reliably predict who will pick who in order. One thing is certain. Club recruiting people are certainly not telling any outsiders who they have on their list so these phantom drafts are fantasy exercises. Like them I have no clue who the Swans will select tonight but I do have a lot of faith based on history that our recruiting team will get it mostly right.

              Finally, the draft has arrived. Is it just me, or has this dragged on this year? Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to come around.

                I think it's felt particularly long because we didn't trade any players in

                  Draft day arrives and no one it seems has any idea what the order will be, including the recruiters, most open draft ever it seems. Who falls to us at 14 is still a mystery, wouldn't be surprised if we and our recruiters were surprised who had slipped to our pick. Just one thing to remember - In KB I/we trust

                    Yes you are right. Who the Swans pick will be determined by whoever is left in the pool at our picks. As Kinnear always says; 'Best Available'.

                          Could Bonar make it to 14?

                            If Darcy Fogarty gets to GWS or Crows I'm going to be so annoyed.

                              Highly likely
