Haven't been online for a while.
Just wanted to test if there's any rumours about the Swans being interested in any delisted players? There seem to be some half decent ones floating about that could benefit from a change (Narkle, Stack, Stocker, Wallis)
Also interested to hear views on who would be a good fit. My two cents - boring and probably alligned with the Swans - is that none of them fit our gaps (back up KPF, KPD and ruck)Comment

I suspect none of those names you mention would be of great interest to us for the reasons you outline. We want to give some of our developing players a chance to thrive eg McDonald, Campbell, Gus, Roberts etc. I think our main focus is on drafting in young talent this time around rather than rejects.Comment

Not much being reported. In fact, we have still yet to announce the names of those who won't receive new contracts from us which is late compared to others.

I'd be fascinated to understand more about why Stack didn't prevail at Richmond. Based on his early burst of games, he had serious levels of talent. I know there were a couple of off field incidents a year or so back, but they weren't major. Has elite kicking skills, hard at it and could play both ends.Comment

What about recruiting Hanners as our new VFL coach? He could play too!All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)Comment

A captain coach? Long time since I've heard of one of those, used to be a very common way for ex players to stretch their careers a year or two longer.Last edited by Ruck'n'Roll; 20 October 2022, 10:08 PM.Comment

I can't ever remember us having so many top-end draft talents on our list: we've got players drafted (or bid on) at picks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 10 and 11! Have we ever had so many top 5 (or even top 10) picks on our list before, even in the days when we were cellar dwellers? Rewind 10 years and we had Macca (pick 5) and Gazza (pick 6) and maybe nobody else.
While that's kinda exciting, what's much more exciting is that we have so many players who were taken much later and who are among our best players: Chad, RB, Parker, Rampe, Lloyd, Papley etc etc.Comment
