He's not even the best player named Swallow.

Lol! Very Mark Waugh-esque. Great cricket sledge.

    Pick 2 for Swallow feels like we get the lesser deal. If he was good enough he would be playing midfield not half back.

    I just can't get excited about this.

    In a heart beat.

    Quicker even.

    He's worth pick 2 right now, and will only get better.

  • Quote

    I'd do pick 2. He is a former #1 pick with a few years in the system.

    He will improve.

    He is ready to go.

    We don't have time to wait around for any more 18 year olds to 1) develop physically to AFL standard and 2) see if they are the next 'once in a generation player'

    I can live with it. At least we will know (barring injury) that he would be deserving of a spot in round 1 2014.

    This same logic holds true for any one that Roos and the coaching panel deem appropriate for a trade of this nature.

    Take this kid for pick two any day of the week. Get it done.

    Just out of curiosity, has there been word that he wants to come home or Gold Coast are looking at trading him? Or is this just a random thread of 1 of the many players we could throw pick 2 at?

    It was mooted in an Inside Football article a month or so ago that we'd had chats with the Suns regarding Watts and pick 2 for Swallow. It all stems from that and there's been nothing more.

    Home is WA and they are not looking at trading him, but could do the right deal.

    Kids going to be a superstar, I have absolutely no doubt about that, if he wants more opportunity and to be closer to his brother pick 2 would be on it's way to the gold coast imo.

    I remember reading an article a while ago which suggested he had asked to be traded to North to be with his brother.

    The Suns didn't like the offer and he re-signed.

    Even though Melbourne wasn't his original choice it still means he gets to come home, and you'd think if he still wanted to be traded the Suns would settle for pick 2. But as BH said there has been nothing more since the Inside Football article.

    Only an idiot wouldn't give pick 2 for Swallow

    Hes had two seasons playing and training alongside the greatest midfielder of all time. His development has been done, and hes ready to fire big time.

    Its a no brainer for the MFC

    I desperately hope there is truth to this rumour and we do get Swallow.

    Swallow would be a MASSIVE gain. I would swap for pick 2.

    are, but would you trade Howe for Swallow?

    & then use P2 on Aish, or for a Sloane? or a Docherty + P7 ?

    Personally, every day of the week.

  • Quote

    Swallow is exactly what our club needs.

    This kid underachieved this year, but he is going to be a gun.

    Big bodied midfielder who can kick a goal.

    I'd give up pick 2 in a heart beat for Swallow, his body alone is 4-5 years ahead of Aish or Kellys.

    Swallow will be a player, we should chase him.

    Jones, Swallow and Viney would be a good midfield in 2014.

    Would be a something to work with and throw in a fully fit forward line and we should improve rapidly.

    Yes but I am confident that the three other Clubs in the hypothetical wouldn't!

    Yes every day of the year but Howe isnt worth anything like Swallow

    Coming home in the same sense that Mitch Clark came home, I guess, given that both grew up in WA.

    Yeah my bad - good point.

  • Quote

    McKenna today saying Swallow is contracted til 2014, but is close to signing an extension for another couple of years.

    Either he's nowhere near our grasp, or the Suns are giving a "hurry on".

    He's nowhere near our grasp, and he hasn't been at any stage IMO.

    Its all over the net that he does want to come home but just find it hard to believe gold coast would want more picks. They've had a few....

    still think Sloane is more likely.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
