2022 List management, trading, drafting

[bloodspirit]

If we trade Melican, then Gould will clearly be next in line. He's getting onto the emergencies every week now, so he knows we want him. We should offer him a very good contract for someone who has never played and AFL game and commit to playing him next year. It's a risk work taking. He is contracted, so it's not that easy for him to move if we make everything right for him to stay.

If it doesn't work, and he's dead set to move on, then I think we should go for Logue. He hasn't lived up to a pick #8, but he's coming along now and can play both ends of the ground. If our KPD stocks are depleted, he would be worth a late 1st rounder to us. At least we know he can play.

1. Pretty sure Gould is on a one year deal this year and out of contract.

2. I think West Coast are in the box seat to get Logue if he leaves Freo. Logue is a WA boy and West Coast can make the cap space to fit him in (in a way that Freo can't) and can just walk him to the pre-season draft if Freo don't cooperate at the trade table.

I would be happy to lose Cunningham.

He is 29 in December, can't break into the team, and is being keep around for depth.

The Swans always seem keep aging players a year or two past their prime, forcing younger players to go elsewhere.

We have a lot of good youngsters, if we get an injury, we can blood them then.

This is a certain cache associated with Swans players.

So many of our fringe players go to other clubs and totally star, think Hewett and Dawson.

We can and must ask a high price from other clubs, not what we think they are worth.

Whatever we do this trade and draft period i hope we don't pick an international player and waste 3 years when we could pick someone that can already play the game

Tadgh Kennelly was fantastic for us. Pike helped us win a Premiership.

Category B rookies (if that is what they are still called) don't cost much in terms of opportunity cost for us. Sure BOC is unlikely to make it, but the same for 'ready made' players we have taken from the National and Rookie drafts. COR has shown glimpses of being able to make it, with injury being a factor.

I think Mason Cox has been a success too, in that he has done much better than other forward-rucks taken after late in the second round (you wouldn't use such an early pick on a prospect from another sport).

What about Sam Reid? 99% of people would have said he was depth at best this year and he’s going ok …

Or Robbie Fox, 29, barely got a contract this year also in career best form.

We are going to get very little for Cunningham if we trade him.

Some would trade half the list if given the keys

Clarkson signs on at North
Then this media speculation re Lloyd
Clarko in the past has said publicly how much he rates Lloyd
North are in gigantic need of a player like Lloyd..........we will be hard pressed to match

[gloveski]

Lloyd is exactly the type North under Clarko would target . He needs some experience to go with the youth they have . He has that aura about him so he will be looking to sign some experience he knows he can trust . Especially early on . Anyone half decent who is out of contracted North will target with Clarko the selling point

If Lloyd goes to North, would Gould slot into his position? Has he got the skill set and tank to do so? I don't know.

More likely to be Florent or Cunningham or COR or even HHK.

I think it's better if we keep Lloyd but we have enough depth to cover him.

I'd like to keep Lloyd too. I dislike the cliched line that gets thrown around about just wanting to focus on the footy and we'll deal with the contract at the end of the year. But I also suspect there's not much else you could say if it's likely a move is on the cards.
