Sam Dwyer should be a target for us at the end of the year in the PSD. He is Rookie listed at Collingwood and would be on the edge of selection in the Pies best 22. He is aged 26, so he still has a reasonable amount of footy in him. We could offer him much more money and a longer contract than Collingwood given their salary cap is undoubtedly tight.

mate weve got average coming out of the woodwork

if its not all class we don't want it

Never heard of him. What is so special about him and what position does he play?

its his second cousins , sisters boyfriend

and he also eats at the same pizza shop

Bit old for my likings. Plus he's in line for a rookie promotion and decent money anyway. Sure we could afford more than the Pies but if we are going to splash cash I'd rather do it on a younger player or a better one.

He's a bit of a depth player in that he plays half forward, wing, inside midfield without being spectacular at any one position.

I'd be looking for a Josh Kennedy/Ben McGlynn/Bachar Houli type who is talented but outside best 22 and is around that 22-24 year old mark and besides that I'd be going with kids.

Our salary cap might tighten up considerably considering we will have to pay decent money to keep a lot of guys if we don't improve so I'd rather front end the kids contracts and keep going with them.

I know we will always have injuries but if we had Viney and Grimes available and continued to play competitive footy we wouldn't be going for such desperate measures.

By my thinking each AFL team should run out with 9 guys in the midfield rotation each week. I've got our best 9 listed and it's not as bad a batch as some think. Jones, Viney, Grimes, Sylvia, Trengove, Tagger (Mckenzie or Nicho), Evans, Matt Jones, Toumpas. Considering you add our first pick in the draft as depth. Then still have guys like Blease, Kent and Taggert who could become part of the rotation it's looking ok.

I'd try and replace Magner and Rodan for next year with some mature age talent be they FA, Mature age draft picks like Matt Jones or trades but I wouldn't break the bank doing it.

Dwyer would provide us a bit of outside run and polish, which is what we lack. He is a better player than Matt Jones IMO.

I would hope to also get Taylor Adams, but it sounds a bit like he might be keen on getting to Geelong.

Tell him to talk to Josh Caddy.

Not what we need.. We need inside ball magnets..

'The' Sam Dwyer thread.

Because we are at risk of having more than one? Give me a break, we don't need more low-mid level talent. We need a gun/multiple gun midfielders who can get their own ball, and a small forward or two this offseason.

No more list-cloggers please.

I don't think the club is the problem there...he's just not worth all the hype...

Would rather target Luke Parker

Absolutely...hard as nails and smart.

Sydney targeted players like Mumford who they knew where required but not able to get the $'ss. I would throw money at Parker I reckon he is a beauty and talking to a Swan supporter today so does he.

Parker would be a great get and is out of contract. However, I don't think you can set your sights on just one target with respect to the PSD, especially when you don't have PSD #1.

The Swans have a number of other good players coming out of contract, including Jetta, Johnson, Mumford, Brandon Jack, Shaw Smith, Rampe and Lamb. But it is pretty rare for players to leave clubs in the premiership window.

Jamie Elliot is Collingwoods best young talent, we should throw a quid at him.

He is going to be a gun.

Contracted. As is Seedsman.

Wouldn't we all, but I think the Swans will be very keen on re-signing him. Is now their 12th best player on AFL rankings, which in that team is impressive.

I actually rate Dwyer quite highly, should've been picked up by an AFL club a long time ago. Has a few strings to his bow as a mid-forward who can win his own ball and also provide a bit of run and carry. I like Matt Jones and applaud his efforts this year, but Dwyer would be an upgrade.
