I think it is more than just injury frustration, but I suspect thinks will look different if he’s back playing regularly, and his desire to leave will be diminished.
There is also the possibility he was discussing with Harley coming to the Swans as a FA next year and events have forced everyone’s hand in a way they wish they hadn’t. The Buddy deal took more than a year to arrange. If that is true I’d love to see the Swans call Essendon’s bluff, but think it’s unlikely.Comment

This has sadly been part of the Swans' philosophy: If you have a lot of injury prone players in a given position, the solution is to get more of them in the hope that maybe one of them will be okay to play. That led the situation where we had 6 ruckmen on our list one year.
Anyway, there wouldn't have been an announcement that Daniher wants to come to Sydney without prior discussions about what the deal might be. So I'm expecting Daniher to be a Swan next year. I don't agree with it, but can only hope he's fit and good fortune comes out of this.
I was really pleased when we landed Buddy. And Joe is a very talented player. But, there are just too many buts in this deal.Comment

I'm hoping the JD deal doesn't get done & EFC hold him to his contract. Not comfortable with all this multi picks talk to EFC when JD will be FA in 12 months. Crazy. I'm also hoping we hold Papley to his 4 year contract. The most I would offer for JD right now is our 2nd round pick 25. EFC can take it or leave it as we're in position of power with him coming into FA. I want us to keep pick 5 for to get Serong (also a Swans supporter) as we are in desperate need of quality midfielders and NOT KPF.Comment

Another concern is what we will be offering him money wise . Surely they aren’t going to be giving him 900k , which is what he is supposedly on now

This is definitely true. Negotiations would be pretty advanced. It's most probably why all the talk about Paps has been going on because what we get for him from Carlton will be integral to getting this deal done. I wonder if we hadn't gone after Daniher whether Paps would really want to leave us? Maybe the club identified him as someone with trade currency and have rolled the dice - Papley (+/- pick 5) out, Daniher in?Comment

Don't overrated picks to much.
Pick 5 might be a gun, who wants to go back to Melbourne after 2 years.
At least Joe want to live in Sydney.
If we wait until next year, giants may offer up a Cameron/daniher swap.Comment

If we wait till next year, there are so many possible scenarios - some good; some bad. For example, as a free agent other teams will make big offers for him knowing they don't have to give up draft picks. Essendon could patch things up with him.
Recruiting a player is always a calculated gamble. Some pay off and others don't. The teams that are most consistently successful seem to have more wins than the rest. But even they don't get it right all of the time. I see this as potentially the biggest recruiting risk of a big name player we have taken since Barry Hall. He came with a lot of baggage but delivered in spades for most of his time with us. Tippett, Lockett and Buddy were less risky but as we know Tippett was cruelled by injury. The other two were awesome recruits.
My feelings on this are mixed. I love the excitement of a top liner coming to our Club. I worry about what we may have to give up to get him. Papley is now almost certainly gone.

Wonder if the reason Daniher wants to live in Sydney is being driven by partner.Comment

This is amazing. Really excited to be getting him on board.
Pick 5 should be enough.Comment

Pick 5 plus next years first rounder
Keep Paps if possible (or at least don’t trade until Joe deal done)
Saints 2020 2nd rounder to get us points for academy boys
McCartin plays CHB key defender issue solved ??
Daniher plays part time ruck and deep forward
Buddy plays high half forward, we are no longer Buddy centric up forward ??
No 2nd ruck required ??
2 young academy mids coming 2020 ??
Still have pick 25 ??
Still have enough points for academy boys in 2020 ??

The killer for the defence of most teams will be marking up for periods of the game vs two serious game destroyers upfront
Two battle ships up front who just happen to like different sides of the arc for their set shots makes a zone defence tricky and even harder for the loose defender to choose which side he will zone
Add in the other emerging long kick in Dawson exiting from our HBF who can genuinely find Bud or Daniher in the lead
It’s hot in the city if they are on the footy pitch at the same time"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.

RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
