The Hun has us taking Darcy Wilmot, Cooper Murley (a zippy small forward from Norwood) and Charlie Dean. I'd be okay with that.
They have Warner going to Freo at pick 21, a bit early by most pundits' estimates.
I got the list from Big Footy: News - 2021 Media Phantoms & Rankings | Page 3 | BigFootyComment

I'd be surprised if we took a small forward as we have a plethora of youngsters of this kind. But would not be surprised with any picks by KB as he knows better than me!!! Wilmot and Dean not bad picks, particularly Dean who is sort of a mature ageComment

My version has Corey W going to Freo at pick 36, one spot AFTER we take Murley

I think that's more 'truth adjacent' than 'actual truth'. IIRC, there was a controversy, about Leonardis liking an anti-Goodes Facebook post by some racist dickhead. However, after a bit of investigation, it was discovered that Leonardis was functionally illiterate, and that he didn't really know what he was doing. After that, it was quickly decided, that he shouldn't really be on Facebook, if he was mainly basing his likes on the pictures, rather than the words. And I think that Goodesy dedicated a bit of his time, to run him through the issues involved?
Unfortunately, that was probably the least anonymous part of his Swans career. Occasionally, he looked pretty good in the NEAFL, but I don't recall him ever dominating a game, or really pushing his case for promotion.

Although, I could learn to love the name; Cooper Murley.Comment

still think we should look at picking Conway. Still not sure on Naismith with knee. Conway is touted as best pure ruck in draft.Comment

Why the ruck merry-go-round put this draft prospect in a spin
You guys have read this. Shame not to take him given his obvious talent, cousins and desire to play for us. Can we let McAndrew go? - really don't rate him.Comment

RD, I think we have already signed McAndrew for another season. McAndrew is a true project player. He played Union till recent years and so is still learning our game. The young lad from country Victoria has probably been playing AFL since he was very young so he has a big headstart over McAndrew. I agree though that another one of the McCartin clan is an attractive proposition for us.Comment

Future Ruck combo of Ladhams & Conway with McAndrew as the long term project player IF he makes the grade. (Sinclair & Naismith you'd think will be gone after 2022). Additional backups of Armatey & McLean who can play that 2nd ruck/forward role. Will result in a plethora of ruck stocks on our 2022 list if we do draft Conway.Comment

Usually yes, but it is different if you’re swapping picks with a team who purely want points like the Bulldogs and will never be using the pick anyway.
If there is a 1 draft point benefit to them in a trade of that scenario, they may as well do it. The only issue with having to offer a premium in this situation is other clubs offering a better package with a greater points total.
I still think we would have put 31, 39 & 70 on the table - hoping Geelong doesn’t go ahead with offering 32 & 50. Only reason they’d not offer that would be if they looked at 50 and thought with that dropping back to more like 40 after the Bulldogs/Collingwood picks being wiped out with bids, they value a couple of players they want at 32 & 40 ahead of who they’d get earlier access to at 23.
But IMO it’s not worth it to us to offer future swaps as a sweetener - just hope Geelong pull out, otherwise let it be and use 31 & 39 which aren’t bad in an even draft.Comment

I'm aware of McAndrew's background. Keep in mind, he was nowhere near elite level rugby, unlike Folau, Hunt and Pyke and he played a position (second row) which doesn't really require anywhere near the situational awareness required to play elite AFL. His performances in the VFL were ungainly and he showed a distinct lack of mobility. Other than being tall (209cm), I have very little confidence he will make it.
Overall our management of the ruck position has been shambolic since our last flag. We have taken punts on long shots who haven't worked out but at the same time given up guys who have gone on to do well at other clubs. Extending Naismith's contract was the icing on the cake of bad decisions. Hickey exceeding all expectations massively is the only bright point but I would argue this was a fluke. It also didn't come free with us losing AAAA.Comment

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification

It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
