    Unless we can find some other ruck to shoehorn into a three team trade.

      If true, it's absolutely disgusting.

        Cannot imagine what signal it sends to the other players on their list?

          I don't understand why we are supposedly not interested in Hayes from Port Adelaide but are now looking at that soon to be 4 club spud Tom Hickey!

          I get that Hayes hasn't played a game yet in his 3 seasons and is coming off a knee injury but he's been highly rated from what I've read and I'd rather take a shot at a 21 year old than settling on a 30 year old who's only managed 102 career games and 1 career brownlow medal vote...

            How many AFL games has Hayes played? Zero. Aliir has played 64. Ladhams has played 15.

              I think Collingwood have decided he is too high maintenance. Didn't they try and trade him before?

                i heard similar
                a difficult athlete to manage and it sounds like the main reason is that Adam has struggled a lot with Anxiety / Mental Health.
                but unless they want to live up on the gold coast next 5 years and away from family in melb it is a tricky contract to let go of at the pies

                I wonder if we are asking the Sydney Swifts to look at a couple star netballers in Melb who have partners in the AFL?

                Cox and Mentor at the Pies ?

                  Reckon we want someone that can play round one next year, with runs on the board.

                  Or we could be interested in Hayes and playing a bit of poker.

                    Exactly. Also, with Hayes, I doubt any of us here have a clue about how good he is. Yes, he has been highly rated - especially in his draft year. He was touted as being a top 10 pick. But then slid way out to the 50s or later.

                      Swans will have made our own assessment of Hayes in his draft year. We may not rate him.

                      We may be burnt by our experience with Knoll and McLean, neither of whom look like delivering on their potential.

                        When is the AFL going to announce list sizes for next year? They're leaving this a bit late imo. Official trades begin in a week, don't they?

                          Do they need agreement from the AFLPA, or is it tied into the salary cap negotiations?

                            Sorry I was quoting from an Adelaide paper I thought was a News Corp paper.

                            The HS report has added info which says we were into Nankervis before he re-signed with the Tigers, and now we are into Hickey.

                                Maybe it's time for a 19th team in the AFL after all. Base them "hub style" in the bowels of an abandoned freighter
