    Can't say I'm happy about the Dogs getting another free hit from the draft - but the young Darcy sounds like a super prospect. If they can somehow keep all their stars within the salary cap, they should be a very good team for some time.

        Hopefully they screw it all up and sink back into some form of mediocrity forever in a day - but you are right.

        While I wouldn't be against broader draft reforms that could include removing father-son, I don't have an issue with their access to Darcy. Their access to the No 1 last year was a farce however - but at least changes have been made around NGA to tighten up the rort it truly was.

        On another random question (and someone that has looked closer than me will probably know), do existing rules allow for a mother-son recruitment circumstance in the future?

          I better start working on BT's script for next year. Plenty of material here.

          A bit late to the party though.

            They're going to have to do plenty of trading to get the picks to cover him, though. Assuming that the pick guide on Big Footy is correct, their first pick is currently at 17, and then there's nothing until the fourth round at 72. And I don't think 72 has any points value.

              That pick guide on Big Footy is spot on, it's a work of art by Lore the author and so easy to read at a glance. When it comes to Daicos and Darcy, let's hope they are chosen very early as neither club has the points in hand currently, which is particularly amusing with the Pies :-)

                  I listened into the Swans webinar tonight with our CEO. A lot of queries in the Chat section about re-signings. Harley would not speak about individuals but said that they were "comfortable" with where negotiations were at.

                    Can somebody help me? I've been trying to remember how many S.A. Swans have requested to be traded back home, but I'm coming up empty.

                      Lewis Johnston ? He was traded not sure if he asked for it

                        Oh yeah, Lewis Johnston. Easy to forget that first rounder. The end of a draft threepeat of Dan O'Keefe, Veszpremi and Johnston. I doubt if he asked to be traded. We couldn't unload him fast enough.

                        I think we draft South Australians because of the low risk of homesickness.

                          SMH reporting we are chasing Patrick Lipinski at the Dogs. I would post the link but it will screw up the thread.

                            Hi Mark,

                            I haven't seen enough of Lipinski to comment. Is he worth the chase in your view?? Certainly nice to see our name involved in trade circles again!

                            Read up and have seen he is a midfielder. Pretty good highlights video on Youtube. Surprised we are going for a midfielder and am unsure that's the path we should take. I think our KPD cupboard is pretty bare. We have been exposed down back a bit this year. Maybe we plan on drafting a defender?? Such an intriguing off season coming up!!

                              That's intriguing. It's pretty clear we need a tall defender and backup ruck. Midfield would not seem to be an area we're short and Lipinski doesn't exactly scream must get. Only conclusion I can come to is that we must be shedding a midfielder or two..................

                                I take an interest in the Dogs because of family. I would liken lipinski to Ollie- clever and quick but unlikely to dominate a game
