    ....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....

      Pick 32 seems about fair for Clarke.

        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

                  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.

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