2020 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[Ludwig]

I think we will go okay with points for Gulden from roughly pick 21 or 22 on. So little or no damage on the horizon in respect to 2021.

Phillips a draft changer no doubt
Hawks did as expected going for a slicing fast left footer that is a top8 pick
Stoked we got McDonald........Logan or Phillips were my preferred choices

I wasn't expecting McDonald to be available by our pick.

[Bloody Hell]

Check this out from Knightmare;
Why Logan McDonald is better than any key forward drafted these past 15 years. - YouTube

I tried to watch that when he released it... not the most riveting piece of analysis.

Love to see the Swans trade in to get Nathan O'Driscall

Campbell was worth pick 5. Sorry to be a party pooper, but he makes Jordan Dawson look like Andrew Dunkley as a kick.

While I think you're exaggerating a little on the kicking (as Dawson is a sensational kick himself), I do agree that bidding on Campbell at 5 was reasonable by the Hawks, if irritating.

[Ludwig]

The Hawthorn bid on Campbell was malicious. If they took a midfielder with their pick it could be justified. But they did it just to hurt the Swans. Maybe Clarko was cranky after both Phillips and McDonald were picked.

Archie Perkins going to an absolute mess of a team with poor team culture is only fitting

We will be fine now for Gulden

Did any mock draft have Campbell as high as 5?

I missed it but people on social media said Logan McDonald looked unhappy to be picked by the Swans. Any truth to it?

Pick 22 and no Gulden. Looking good

Aye.

No, he just seems like a very measured young man.
I'd be concerned if I was GWS with the response of Tanner Bruhn. Clearly the issues at the Giants have become well known amongst up and coming players.

I didn't see it, but he'll be right.

Most had him at 6-8 - but they didn't have Phillips ahead of him.... but had Hollands ahead of him.
