Errol not Ollie
They met him 2 weeks ago
Offer is 25% better that Buddys for the same length
Probably not that surprising as anyone that was able to get in front of him would offer thatComment

waswan, you have an inside source at the Swans or Crows?
Errol can’t accept the offer as he is contracted.
He can choose not to sign with us and risk pre-season draft by West Coast or Hawks, sign a deal with us till free agency, or sign a long term deal.
I can’t see a situation where we would agree to a trade with Adelaide.
We face similar with Logan. Fremantle will make a huge offer, and he has the same choices.
The damage to us, is whether we have to offer so much for Errol and Logan that we can’t give Hayward or RB etc what they think they are worth.Comment

It wouldn’t surprise me with the money coming into the game. With the average salary due to rise from $400k to $600k, a salary of $1.2m will become common for the top two or three at most clubs. Whether he accepts or not is another story. We will likely offer him something similar'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Source is from Crows
Im only surprised they got in front of him, most teams would offer that given the opportunity

Gettable saying Rowy is basically done. 4 yr dealComment

I'd say we may loose two players next season............mainly due to our performances as a team and our individuals doing very well.
You would have to think 5 or 6 of our players coming up would be worth minimum $150k pa more to move to other clubs vs what we can pay in the cap. Could even be higher for a few?
Negating movement of key players we want to retain has been spending frugally in the backline while ensuring our list is in a window right now. The allure of finals footy in 2024 and 2025 must be exciting !
Melican is already showing great value for money last few weeks as a nice surprise for us punters. Partick Snell at 194cm and athletic could be another to watch.
I wonder if a club in a window or rebuild may come knocking for a Jake Lloyd who maybe on close to $600k pa? We have a fair rotation now and we maybe able to cover Jake at the back end of his fantastic career. ie We made that call with Patch Adams taking him at the same age for specific skills sets required. We may also only be able to pay average salary $380k ish max if Jake wants another season or two?Last edited by Auntie.Gerald; 28 March 2024, 06:10 AM."be tough, only when it gets tough"

Easy way to keep Errol. Make him captain. He is Swans through and though. Give him that responsibility and honour.
The current captain has spend over a year of his AFL career injured on the sidelines due to off field misadventure. Throwing a gridiron ball and wrestling a team mate on Mad Monday. He fits the mould off field misadventure like Glen Maxwell and nobody makes Glen Maxwell captain despite like Mills being a match winner. That’s just not good enough for someone who wants to hold the captains job.
Give the job to Errol and all this speculation goes away. Errol deserves it.Comment

He will end up captain at some point.
But there is no doubt Mills is seen, within the club as an excellent captain, despite his ability to pick up crazy off field injuries. They won't be changing that anytime soon, simple as that.
I'd expect they will be co-captains in a couple of years time.
Errol will be going nowhere - he is the least likely of those out of contract to be leaving. They will keep the captaincy carrot for another day."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

It does seem likely we'll lose a couple of gems, not much one can do given the crazy sums being thrown around (and indeed that apparently the Swans themselves have been offering). The best one can hope for is you maximise their trade value on the way out - Melbourne with Jackson and Geelong with Kelly should be our role models.
Most likely exits appear to be McDonald and FloWard (I seem them as a combined entity like BrAngelina but OllyWilly sounds wrong). Would of course love to keep all of them but arguably Florent, for example, would be getting more midfield time and more kudos at another club - that plus more $ may well lead to an exit.Comment

I would like to think all 5 players will re-sign simply because they're happy playing in a team which is on the up and in premiership window.
They may receive bigger offers elsewhere, but they will be offered good money to remain & BETTER chance to enjoy the ultimate success, in a team they've bonded all together so we?l.Comment

Money (wealth) v Success (Flags). I would like to think success comes first for professional sportsmen and women?Comment

How does a flag or two help a 35 year old retired player, struggling to pay a mortgage and having a kid starting at an expensive independent school the next year? Is a flag or two better than leaving up to a $1,000,000 on the table of earnings during a players career and thus struggling with the above? When his wife says we’re not going to be able to pay the phone bill next month does he pull out his two premiership medals and say at least I’ve got these. Wife says back to him. Fantastic that you go to one function every 10 years but your a gullible fool for not taking that wonderful deal when you had the opportunity.
This take less money and be part of a flag or two is real world fantasy land.Comment

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.

RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
