Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

Lol unless we can set up a attractive personal deal, we can NOT get Mitchel for pick 20 alone. No way. I've asked all my Sydney mates, and they reckon around pick 10.

Well, that's nice. Maybe you should remind your Sydney mates that he isn't getting a game with them. He's not therefore worth a first rounder. Ridiculous.

Mitchell is also being paid over $500,000 per year. The Swans need to pay for Buddy, Tippett and Reid etc etc in the coming years. The Swans will off load him at seasons end.

I don't know about that, but his contract size will certainly work in our favour, not against us. We hold the cards here.

If we can't get Malceski, Shiel (because he apparently resigned), Cameron (unlikely), Mitchell (Sydney or Carlton ATM), ROK (hawthorn likely), or O'Rouke (no indication of us being interested), then I wonder who we're going to end up getting this offseason. It might be a suprise, or we might just be going Into the draft...and if we don't get Petracaa...well that's going to b e even more dissapointment. Oh well, I'm optimistic...clearly...

Roos and co. play their cards pretty close to their chest in regards to trades and who we are interested in. While there was speculation that we were interested in a variety of GWS players last year we didn't know it was Tyson until the moment it happened. Same can be said for Vince as well. I'm confident that the club are interested and pursuing a variety of players who can improve our squad. I can't see them chasing guys for the sake of it - if there isn't anyone worth getting then I believe the club will simply go the draft and look at getting players into the club who can help take us forward.

IMO we are in a good position draft wise - around the 3-4 mark is perfect.

Trade for established or take Petracca/Brayshaw - both ready made players.

I liked the suggestion of trading 4 to GWS for Tomlinson and 20.

So long as we could land Mitchell with 20, that is a super deal.

Personally I'd gladly past with pick 4 alone for Tom Mitchell.

Longmire has said Mitchell will not be traded and is a required player. Also Petracca will be gone by pick 3.

Because we probably havnt kicked 14.2 as a team in any single games yet this year. Thats why

Love your thinking. Comes out of prison and kicks a bag against nothing opposition and he is the answer to our goal kicking woes. The bloke is damaged goods and the last bloke Roos would look at I suspect.

He was a favourite of mine before his exit from the club but I wouldn't go anywhere near him now.

Err you do realize the standard between the bush footy and AFL right??

Just because he did it up the bush doesn't mean it will translate into AFL!

He is light years away from AFL footy I cannot ever see him gracing the field again.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
