2019 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[Auntie.Gerald]

That’s the issue KB is presenting a “weaker draft”

Last years was a cracker

[dejavoodoo44]

In the draft combine, the beep test and 2km run were won by Jay Rantall. Apparently he's a recent basketball convert, who plays inside mid and is projected to be a second or third round pick. His pros are: hard at the ball, ability to explode away from the pack, tough tackler, elite endurance and good leadership qualities. His cons: erratic (but improving) kicking and sometimes getting caught out of position.
Does anyone know if he's related to Swans legend John Rantall?

Well if you use last years draft, would you prefer Daniher or Rozee + Blakey + Rowbottom?

And the last three are all still fit and motivated.

On the BF Essendon board they are already speculating what to do with our picks 5 & 9.

I've never been so against a trade as Daniher this year, we'll be made into idiots IMO. Wait one year until he proves he's fit again and can perform, he'll then either be free or cost less. Wrong player at the wrong time, take our picks to the draft.

Hopefully that has shown he needs another year at Essendon!

I'm really getting worried now. I just can't believe the club could be so stupid... But I'm starting too feel they might be.

Kinnear was not reassuring by clearly stating we may not have pick 5 come draft

He was not implying that we would trade it, rather that we could trade it.

I can’t see us giving up more than what we might get for Papley in a potential Daniher trade.

OK, it's happening. Niall reckons pick 5.

Holey moley. I really hope the Swans know what they are doing. So much upside but so much risk!

Say it ain’t so
If he really wants to come to Sydney I hear there is another team somewhere in town ????
Especially now they have given away one broken down forward

I think we have to have faith in the people at Sydney to do the right thing. That said no way is he worth 2 first round picks. one is clearly more than enough with his history and if essenscum don't except that then we move on.

I've been living in Brisbane since 2002. Saw them dominate then witnessed their decline after they signed Fevola.

I fear I'm witnessing something similar..............
