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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
