2018 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[stevoswan]

Kennedy looked serviceable at best at Hawks. Stuck mainly in the forward line as I recall.

....and that's it in a nutshell. No room for JPK in the middle with Hawthorn's much vaunted midfield, much the same story with Tom Mitchell at the Swans. One all....

[Muttley]

Pick 32 seems about fair for Clarke.

I have heard a rumour about joe Daniher , no source no substance but I have heard it

To me it does feel like the Swans are going after someone bigger than Taylor Duryea or Ryan Clarke.

In the past we’ve tended to spend big $ on marquee forwards, so on that basis it makes sense. It also makes sense that we shoudn’t have been playing Xavier Richards / the youngest player in the comp as a key forward in the last 2-3 years.

But I really can’t imagine why Daniher would want to leave or why they’d want to let him go. And he’s contracted about as long as the MCG isn’t he?

Maybe there’s been a mix up over the Clarke brothers and we’ve been talking to Dylan Clarke?

It really is silly rumours time of the year. While Joe Daniher would be an amazing get for us that is just not happening. True fantasy land material.

Buddy was a free agent... but yes it was a complete bolt from the blue.

I really am fascinated to find out who we are after

AFL website reporting Ryan Clarke of Norf has toured the Swans facilities. Out of contact and played 19 games in midfield this season. Only 21

Cops a bagging on the North board, most are glad to see him go. Why do we want him, and Dureya as well?? WTF are we doing?

2yr deal for Stevens would be good, he is 29 but still playing quality footy

Maybe he's had second thoughts about his father-son choice!

I think Ryan Clarke (north) is definitely a midfielder and handy but I’d be surprised if they let him go

He has played quite a bit for both the last two years and emerging

If it is dylan Clarke from the bombers then he is a real josh Kennedy style of project player and inside mid

Personally I hope it is both players as they would be exactly the project depth players we need at the right age and have had a few year development in other snr afl clubs

Ryan Clarke I think would be in our 22.......if newman can play midfield and so to Fox for the Swans well Ryan Clarke with 40 games is a shoe in.

Watch his games against Sydney , WC and the Saints as a good 3 to compare

Dylan Clarke slightly bigger build to Heeney but dylan is only 20 so will end up bigger then Heeney and a good inside mid prospect

Dylan re-signed for one more year only with the bombers for 2019

The left-field AFL trade targets nobody is talking about - but should be

Ryan Clarke appears to still be out of contract for 2019 ?

Buy low. Pay nothing and save your dollars/picks for a start either this year or next. Our list I still bloody good even without any additions. We did just finish one game out of the top four with significant injuries to our talls all year. With a bit more luck injury wise, the development of our young players, and an addition here or there to improve our bottom six, we will be right in the mix again.

Just on trade news. On SEN they mentioned we are having serious discussions with an Essendon player. Did not mention a name. My Essendon supporter friend thinks it might be Hurley. Has anyone hear anything about this?

That’s my understanding. Rumour might even be true.
