    Is a certain delist I would have thought but Dodoro would want our second rounder!

    We have lost the plot if we've even thought of making this phone call.

    Please let this just be the mad ramblings of a trade period reporter

Similar to Lewis Taylor, who didn't work out, but looked a reasonable risk at the time. We just have to acknowledge that we are not big players this year and will be mostly working the edges.
      Why not, I think the Swans risk/reward balance on such players is pretty positive. Spending up big on players hasn't yielded Swans flag since 1933.

      I thought he was pretty hard done by this year, and was very impressed with his attitude in the 2's. If we could combine his and Clarkies strengths, thereby negating their weaknesses, we'd have a superb player,

        Maybe keep Ronke unless someone comes in for him. The others can all go, I’m afraid. Pretty simple as it’s a tough business.

          They will have loads of draft picks. Maybe something can be worked out with them. I don't think we can get anything for Taylor, but Ronke, Wicks, Bell and Clarke all should have some value, even if we are talking about 3rd round up or draft position swaps. Maybe we can hold 1 for depth, but they would all have a better future at another club.

            I don’t mind adding Francis he will cost bugger all and I will back our systems in to turn him around . Definitely potential there in my opinion. Surely an upgrade on Melican . Also he can swing forward with Reid possibly only having a year or 2 left

                Going after Francis means dealing with the Dodo, if he’s still at the Bombers next week

                  Dodo will still be there, knows where all the bodies are buried and has a copy of the lost injections spreadsheet. He's a Teflon Don :-)

                  Surprised neither of the Adelaide clubs is coming for Francis given he's a likely delist.

                    Trad Radio this morning speculating on the Swans making a big play for De Goey. Their suggestion is we give up all of our first three draft picks for him. I cannot see that deal happening, although we may well have some interest in him despite the high risk involved.

                      Is he that good? I mean, three picks is Jeremy Cameron territory

                        Trade Radio is basically an ad platform for plumbing supplies and diet pills, with a bit of nonsense and a lot of platitudes from has-beens like Silvagni and Wallace thrown in to fill the gaps in between.

                            De Goey - no thanks. Rather not have known sex pests and misogynists in our team

                            Then add in his inconsistency and historic contract/$$$ difficulties. Big N O

                              The operative word here is “speculating”.

                                LOL. Sounds like a perfect description.
