    But we may not want to give 2 players and they would want 2 first round picks. So it is going to be challenging - last minute signature with every one watching on !
    I still don't think Dusty is worth that. Maybe a few years ago, but not now. It's overs for a player who I don't think has another flag in them. It would be like us asking for a couple of players and a first rounder for Buddy now. Any takers? You'd be daft.

      Not like we 'd be giving away Chad or Mcdonald ! You have to give some to get some , so you pick the ones you wanna keep and see what you can get for the rest .

        What a prognostication! If both Florent and RB are on our injury list when we win our next flag, even I will agree that you are the Great Red and White Oracle.

        As for Dusty, he won't be there either. He'll he hanging out with me at the Chiang Mai Home for the Aged.

        hmmm. I wonder how tattoos hold up with wrinkles?

          Their corporates make it all possible. It’s a sick joke really.

            Is it just the "past the prime" bit that bothers you? In my case, I dislike seeing the Swans go big $$$ recruting, it always costs us good players and hasn't yielded a flag since 1933 - whereas making good recruiting selections and moneyball recruiting for under appreciated players produced two flags in 8 years.
            Not a criticism of any particular poster, especially as I'm joining in but gosh this thread got off track fast, two posts then away it went.

              Josh Dunkly is out of contract at the end of the year ~ wouldn't recruiting him be a splendid laugh.

                  Footy Classified from Monday night suggested we should get Tom Mitchell back. I agree that we need a mature in-and-under player in there for a couple of years, so it isnt the craziest of ideas. I wonder how many bridges were burnt.

                    No idea why you’ve got it in for him. He would be playing every week in our team.
                    He's still not a 'star'.

                      Can they put Kennedy on the long term injury list to open up a spot in next week's mid season draft?

                        Pretty sure he would have to be placed on the inactive list meaning that he couldn't play again this year.

                          Apologies I did not reply earlier, but work got in the way!

                          I agree with you. It's not just that Dusty is moving into prime Geelong recruiting territory, but I dislike recruiting to put bums on seats. If I'm honest, I thought at the time that the recruitment of Buddy would have yielded at least a flag. I was wrong. A player doesn't win a flag, a team does. So when I look at the possibility of recruiting Dusty, I have to ask what is the benefit? To get a few more through the turnstiles? If we recruit Dusty, we lose players, an opportunity for one of our next gen to shine and $.

                          I'd much rather we target someone younger with greater upside. Someone of the ilk of Tarranto or Zurhaar, all the while keeping our young brigade together. Isn't Horne-Francis out of contract too. I think we should go hard for prime young talent out of contract who we can add to and compliment our list.

                            Logan McDonald must be thanking his lucky stars right now that North had overlooked him in the 2020 Draft by selecting midfielder Will Philips with pick 3. Hope the current turmoil at North has instilled a further appreciation where he's at and hopefully commit long term with us.

                            Commentators like Kane Cornes have come out this week criticising North's list management for overlooking Logan when they had just traded out Ben Brown and witnessing Logan's potential last Friday night.

                              There is talk that Taylor Walker is talking to a club in the premiership window about a 2 year contract. The so called experts on SEN have dismissed us.

                              Would he fit in? If it is us does that mean this is Buddy's last year?
