2017 trading, drafting, list management

[barracuda]

I wonder if living in Adelaide is an issue?

Small-minded provincial city with an obsession about bloodlines, private schooling and lack of convict heritage along with a nasty little underbelly. Insufferable wine snobs and obsessives about social status.

Not a bad description and I grew up there! Having said that guys like Sloan and betts seem happy.

A really significant cost of living difference between Adelaide and Syd/Melb these days.

AJ is already contracted for 2018.

Actually, liz, are you sure about this? In my mind it was just this season (it actually makes sense we would only extend a year at a time given he is such a gamble and might have re-injured) and then I found this: New deal for AJ - sydneyswans.com.au. Have you got more up to date info?

The cheaper property prices of SA are offset by the ridiculous utility prices and lower wages here

A great place to be retired in - if you don't use heating & cooling!

The most interesting list management decisions for some time coming up.

Let's hope it's a great place to be on Friday night!

Steven Motlop played a great game on the weekend.

Very fast and talented.

Yes he is lazy but sometime a change of clubs produces a change of attitude and as a RFA won't cost us a draft spot.

Imagine him and Rohan, both speeders, ripping up the SCG,

[bloodspirit]

We've got Papley, Towers, Hayward as well as Rohan, with players like Dawson, Fisher, Murray, Rose, Florent and Cunningham biding their time and waiting for a chance in the 2s. I'm not too familiar with what Motlop has to offer but he ain't Cyril and I'm not jumping.

Is on big money at Geelong, one of the reasons they tried to offload him last trade period but no takers. With contract about to expire, he played a cracking game against Richmond on Saturday which may save his arse at the Cats.

No thanks. That's his first good game for the year. He would simply sit out his carrier in the NEAFL, would cost a young player a spot and would be the highest payed player in the NEAFL.

I don't get why we bothered with Talia?.
At the start of 2016 he was in the team, but got injured and was never seen again. It doesn't make sense.

No dickheads policy! He's a dickhead.

One of our few fails in terms of trying to revive a career.

I think the Swans wrote him off when he shat in our nest last year. Just playing out his contract. Don't blame them. You give a bloke a second chance and he embarrasses the club.
