    No it's 17 & 35. Due to GWS being penalised cause of the Whitfield incident. Pick 18 & 36 is Brisbanes.

        Nah, shorts aren't as brief and tight as Wizz wore them!

        Pick 17 will do us just fine :-)

            I think florent is an extremely composed young player and has exceptionally good vision for his age and a lovely low accurate kick for targets

            He is simply a young small build playing a simple run with pressure role in his first year of snr footy

            there was so many people on this forum that detested the way lloyd played in his first year yet lloyd is now one of our most composed valuable transition players........so much so that Alistair Clarkson in his interview when we played the Hawks last commented how llloyd was a massive OUT for the swans

            I think florent played equally well at 18yrs of age only as lloyd if not better in their debut seasons
            and will be on a massive trajectory as a link transition player for the future of the swans

              Lots to like about Olly and really happy he is locked in for three more years here.

              With a good pre-season he should play a lot more senior football next year with 2019 being his breakout season.

              Equally he seems to be a really good young kid and very coachable and grateful for what he has here.

                I must confess that I'm one of those who didn't think must of Lloyd up until 18 months ago. I thought that he was slow and had poor disposal. Shows how much horse knows about footy in comparison to most of us.

                  Lloyd now one of our most important players, a credit to himself and the coaches. We are accumulating a lot of players who have great composure, Lloyd being one of them.

                      Yes definitely!!! I was go to post the same. He has serious pace and good kicking skills. A rare combination these days. I think we should go hard after this kid. Need to get Tadhg to give him a call.

                        I agree Florent's going to be a great player for us. Composed, skilful, good at working in limited space, hopefully will have good endurance and be invaluable for transition and slotting the odd goal if he is playing front half.

                        Interesting point about Clarko - Lloyd is his kind of player. Runs fantastically and a neat, precise deliverer of the footy.

                          Yes please!

                          Having said that I doubt very very much that he will leave the Bombers, their one year drug ban has been the best thing to happen to their list (scumbags that they are) and I expect they'll tie him up.

                          However, if we do have a bit of spare cash lying about and he is keen to leave then I'd make a play. And in a situation like that you'd think it would mean Jared is off for sure.

                          Can't see it happening though

                            I'd have him over Dusty, to be honest. Suits our needs much more.

                              Dusty is done and dusted at tiggaland for 7 years.

                                So Dusty $1.3M per year from Richmond, $1.5M per year both 7 year deals.

                                & if he signs with the Tigers he's sacrificing $1.4M over the life of his contract.

                                1) Buddy is now a bargain basement contract

                                2) does Richmond have the same "he will be in your cap regardless of whether he's watching the game from the centre square, the medical room or from incarceration?"
