Since we can't attract talent. Must be time to consider trading blokes like frawley. Can't afford him to walk for nothing. May get a first round pick but it's slim hope

If the Swans are prepared to part with a midfield gun and their first pick or a mid-range midfielder, I would nearly suggest they're declaring that they're unlikely to challenge for the flag next year. Unless of course they think Buddy is the missing link and will take them to the flag next year.

I suspect that buddy was recruited as their Marquis player, the membership attractor. the attendence cruncher.

goodes is about to finish, & buddy will be the face.

I think now they'll have to make their numbers balance out, especially when they Lose their COLA benefit soon.

..... so maybe they are looking to offload some interstater's they'll struggle to hold with a smaller $$$$ to pay players.

we have something they'd like. for their future interests.

No way.... 2 picks

for Frawley, I'd want GWS's P1 & their 2ndRnd Pick.

Or Frawley + our 2ndRnd Pick, for GWS's P1 & Dylan Shiels + Dom Tyson.

Did richmond really just give up their 2nd round pick for Hampson?

That is poor trading. Injury prone. Can't kick. Goes missing when the pressure is on.

Sure he is just a back up ruck. But 2nd round pick for a backup ruck? Jesus. Hope we don't do anything as stupid as that.

You'd get nothing like that next year in free agency. Good luck getting chip to gws

why do you reckon I'm mentioning it Now

IF, Chip wants out next year?, I'm certain he doesn't want to go near the Saints now.

He would want some pretty decent $$$$$, & success.

GWS are on the threshold of just that success. if they can hold the list of talent together. & add some more maturity & size. Frawley would pin down one end. with Cameron the other.

I don't want Chip to leave but he was talking about it early this year, it was publicly suggested in the media that he wants out, & to go to the Saints.

If he's still got it in the back of his mind, then trade Now.

Don't forget DL that things that have been coming out of the club since Roos took the reins has been all positive except for Col but some would c that as positive too.

It will be a nervous wait I agree until he signs but I am more confident now of keeping him than I would have 3 months ago.

If the rumours were true about that midseason blue at a nightclub, chip will be very happy about Sylvia gone

I wonder if Col was the last of the bad seeds at the club and if they weren't too unhappy that he left.

If I was Viney and Mahoney and a team offered Pick 22 for Colin - I would take it.

We will find out for certain in a couple weeks.

Viney certainly didn't seem to mind and was probably expecting it.

Sylvia was the antithesis of what Viney ( both ) stand for. I can only imagine he was glad to see his back, as am I.

dees very quiet on recruitment. seems not many clubs interested in pick 2, I reckon improvement next year will come from current list and roos input...thoughts???

Yes, keep it! Nathan Freeman (Sandy Dragons player). Could be a gun as early as next year but if we have to wait a year or 2 who cares? I don't think he wants to wait either, like a bull in a china shop!

true but oh so quiet

I liked what Balmey said about Geelongs trades. "We don't talk about them till they're done."

MFC would do well to follow the same process.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
