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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
