The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

This item was from March 2013. Times have changed at the Swans. This does not exclude a trade at all, particularly if Kennedy is as [censored] off with the Buddy deal as has been reported.

Yes but everyone is delusional if they think Sydney would trade their gun midfielder (if the rumour was true) to us for pick 9! We would need to give up players (good) as well!

My source has confirmed that Roos is having a crack for Kennedy with pick 9 and a player, however, he thought the likelihood of success at less than 30%.

He also said that this had come out of left field. As widely reported in the press MFC traded out for pick 2 for 9 as they were certain that one of the "ready made" players they would like to pick would still be available at 9. Therefore we essentially got Tyson for effectively nothing. MFC believe there is very little between pick 2 & 11 in this years draft.

Kennedy would be a mega coup.

Player? Sydney would need a ruck I guess (with Mumford and White gone) so Jamar? Spencer?

Considering your track record with past rumours, I am now excited

if Roos pulls this off... wow

And less than 30% if its not zero is something!

No to 9 and Howe for Kennedy. Not worth it. Howe will be a star. Hold on to pick nine, we still need good youth coming through. And fitz stays, he's a champ, after all he's been through we must hold on to him, such strong character to get through all his ups and downs and still produce what he did in season 2013.

I love Howe but you are kidding yourself if you wouldn't trade Howe for one of the best mids going around!

Hell. 9 and Spencer, jamar, bail Blease and tapscott !! will that do it...lol :rolleyes:

Jamar or Spencer wouldn't go close to getting that deal done

I can dream!

I disagree. Kennedy is awesome! Howe is the best mark in the comp and his glamor high flying would bring people through the turnstiles in Sydney. However, as a player I believe he is overrated. Mind you I have always thought the rest of his game would improve dramatically with proper development. It would be sad to see our only highlight of the last 2 years go, but for Kennedy a could easily swallow it.

Anyway we are getting way in front of ourselves no player has been suggested and I believe Sydney would be more interested in a ruckman.

Yes, but only the one ruck. Don't want them getting greedy!

Kennedy is a top 20 player in the comp & would be a steal for pick 9 & Howe.

I agree that Howe would be a big loss, then one has to give to get. IMVHO I don't think it would be the right trade overall, from our point of view.

Now that is nearer the mark - throw in Kowal and Grgic too, and the Cockatoo boys.

Sydney does have the midfield depth to cope with the loss of Kennedy.

If I were Sydney, I'd considering listening to what we had to offer at least.

Jamar would appeal to them, he'd add no value trade wise - but we'd have to throw him any trade with Syd.

They desperately need a ruckman.

Imagine if we could pull this trade off!

I don't think Sydney want a ruckman as they have Pyke and Tippet. They may want a young ruckman but that's about it.

Tippet is not a main tap ruckman though! He is a forward ruckman. A ruckman would most definitely be involoved if this dream trade was to come true1 Once upon a time.......

They are not tap ruckman, surely they won't hinge their 2014 season on Pyke reproducing his 2013 form, doesn't always happen.

In any case, Pyke still has flaws and would need to be complimented by an experienced campaigner.

Tippett can't ruck, he is too soft mentally and also believes he shouldn't have to.

I'm just not sure if Sydney will be looking to play two ruckman in the same side.

Thank you for sharing GNF, your source is always spot on. As for everyone else, lets not get too carried away just yet, read that 30% likelihood.

I'd be more than happy to see pick 9 go for Kennedy, as for the player involved that is certainly questionable. For pick 9 and Howe (as some have suggested) I would say no.

Kennedy is currently in Melbourne.

What about 9, Jamar and Maia Weestrup!
