    It'll be interesting to see whether Dawson will be replaced by a outside mid of some kind. He spent a lot of time as a 3rd taall in the backline, in which case Gould has also resigned.

      How is it that AFL.com has our 4 de-listings but nothing on our own Sydney Swans site? And comments from Charlie Gardner!

        The delistings are reported in the same article as the re-signings.

          We really need to target some 190cm hybrid type players in the draft/trade but unfortunately they don’t grow on trees

            Blakey could play Dawson's role if we are looking for a like for like replacement. The lizard showed glimpses of what he is capable of and if he fulfilled potential, could be one of the best players in the league. Stephens, JMac and Campbell can all provide run and carry off HB, especially if we play three proper tall defenders.

              Interesting as Tarrant (NM) has reportedly decided to join Richmond. That would imply that Talia will not be signed by them. Would Talia fit in? Or is he too slow?

                Or tainted by our previous experience with a Talia?

                  I was very pleased with Blakey's form, when he switched to the half back flank. If he gets a good run with injuries, he should develop into one of the competition's most exciting players to watch.

                  On the above post about recruiting a 190cm hybrid player: West Coast have just announced that they want to trade Jarrod Brander. I don't know much about his form, but he's a 196cm, former pick 13, who's played both forward and back. Also originally from Wentworth in NSW; but I don't know how relevant that is, when possibly recruiting someone to Sydney.

                    Cannot believe someone on here at the start of this year seriously was claiming Ling would push Lloyd and/or Harry out of the team!
                    Not his fault !

                      Joey: the ruck option that I would be most interested in, is Lynch from Collingwood. Did really well against Gawn, when Grundy was out injured, but after that, was back out of the side when Grundy returned. The likelihood of him continuing to languish behind Grundy, might have him looking for further opportunities.

                        Brander looks very meh as a footballer to me.

                        I’d like Blakey to stay back behind the ball. The person I want on the wing to replace Dawson who’s also got serious foot skills and marking ability is Heeney. I know he needs to roll forward too but he’s a natural born winger.

                          Thanks Liz- I didn’t get that far in the article!

                            I think the Swans would be very interested in Brander if he can come at a reasonable price. He is probably worth a second rounder. His money requirements should be fair too. Talia is a proven player but near to the end of his career. Brander is also a much better age for our list profile.

                              To me, this has to be real. Why would we go back to this tainted well?

                                Poor Michael. All he did was a bit of coke.

                                As for Daniel, suspect the fact the Tigers went for Tarrant suggests Talia’s physical came back badly.
