    Yes, I've been hoping for an inside mid. Or even a mid who can grab the ball and escape with it.

    While I'm a bit meh about picking up medium sized forwards, Taylor’s highlights reel is full of genuine highlights. Maybe he can be trained up to an elite wingman?

      i wonder if Stevie J hit the buzzer for Taylor

      For me only certainty so far to play Snrs is Stephens

      Maibaum All Aust in his draft year.....and much more agile and a bit taller then Gould hasnt been on great trajectory prior to the ACL to play Snrs

      Foot similar to ET.........Foot not on trajectory yet for Snrs for a couple years me thinks

      lots of water under the bridge compared to Saints trading in say Jones for a mid 30s pick and immediately impacting the top18 which we could have done also ....... but we ended up with a ressies player and a guy who couldnt get a contract

      there is no evidence yet either strategy is right but at least we diversified and tried with trades and draft

            Yes, I'm feeling sort of optimistic. I'm even looking forward to tomorrow's rookie draft.

                      Swans giving direct instructions to kids pre-draft seems to be a bit of a “tell” after Hayward and now Gould.

                        Isn't Taylor a lot taller than Foot?

                        We've taken Chad Warner! Not Trent Bianco! Not Rantall!

                              Yeah it’s a bit of a head scratcher but they’ve done well so far so I guess we should give the befit of the doubt here .

                                Urgh... Just wanted Rantall

                                I'm sure he's okay but hardly worth trading up for due to his anonymity
