Highly unlikely Sydney would release Jones. Highly unlikely. Horse said after Zac's first game that they targeted him in the draft because they were in need of a young, hard running half back. We'd have to pay well overs to get him.

What if assuming we finish 16th and Chip leaves and we have picks 3 & 4 and say Saints and Lions are below us who need talls. Would you take 2 young mids like Brayshaw and Petracca or try for a Salem/Tyson deal with the extra pick.

I could see the Swans being prepared to swap Mitchell and say Jones for pick 4.They have a great midfield, another youngster in Heaney coming and then say pick 4. They would win not lose.

WE WILL FINISH 18TH I BELIEVE!

pick 4 for mitchell and zac jones ... yes

or

pick 24 for mitchell ... yes

3 year deal on $300,000 per year. Swans could not beat that.

Zac Jones has played how many games??

Posted (edited)

Have you seen Zac Jones play. As good as any top 10 pick from last year. Also getting a game in a team that has won 11 straight and is equal premiership favorite.

Oh please give me a break.. being as good as any top 10?.. Billings, Bontempelli, Aish, Mcdonald, Koladashnji, Kelly and Salem will all have a good argue point.

He has played 3 games with one being a sub and the other getting concussed at the start of last week.

Overeacting much..

LOL

Zac Jones has not looked as good as Bontempelli, Kelly, Billings, Salem, Kolojashni, Aish, we haven't seen Scharenberg or Freeman and Boyd looks classy but can't get a look in

Jones looks solid but it's not correct imo to say he has been anything like as impressive as some of the above boys, go back and watch the game when Salem kicked a couple of goals and had 18 touches or whatever, every possession oozed class.

Highly doubt Syd would throw in Jones, for nothing else than he's in a position where they'll be potentially lacking in a couple of years as their players retire (as McVeigh, Shaw, Malckeski etc get towards the end).

If we we're to off something like pick 4 for Mitchell and needed steak knives I'd suggest it might be someone like Tim Membrey, a young forward who is way down the pecking order and might want out for greater opportunity's.

Tom Mitchell for our second rounder and Sam Blease

“Tom Mitchell used to live with (Melbourne coach Paul) Roos and he can’t get a game with the Swans at the moment. Could the Dees do an exchange with Frawley?” Sheahan posed.

Is Tom Mitchell as valuable as Frawley or the Compo pick? probably not imo

does Frawley want to play for Sydney/can Sydney afford him? surely they can't...

why would Sydney give up Mitchell for a bloke they could pick up for nothing

Delusional.... The only way a club could get Mitchell would be a with a top 10 pick, if not top 5.

As for Blease he is of next to no value and if anything clog the trade.

I couldn't work out why Sheahan raised this. Chip is a Free Agent, he can go wherever he likes. A team getting him doesn't have to do a deal to get him he can just walk to them.

no way i'd give up compo! its one step forward 2 steps back from that flag. essentially Sydney get frawley and say pick 5 for mitchell! so they get a ready made gun FB and then another star mid to come in once mcveigh goes. We set them up for now and the future. Don't be silly people!

I think the AFL community will riot if Sydney are able to land Frawley as well.

I can't see any reason the Swans would do that when they could get a FA for free and then get a pick for a player they traded.

I would imagine Chip would be looking to play in that ugly brown and yellow jumper, or the one with blue and white hoops. Both will need a full back soon. If he fancied a hotter climate, that purple jumper may appeal.

We will have to wait and see if Roos actually has any interest in getting Mitchell. I also struggle to understand how he can be worth a top 5 pick. Hard for a club to argue that sort of value for someone not in their best 22.

Tom Mitchell is easily worth a top 5 pick.

He'd be our second best midfielder.

Still think Frawley will end up at Fremantle.

Bang, I agree he will end up at the dockers next year, Col being there will be the difference in the end imo

i'd like to see the compo go down a similar pick and player for high pick deal, maybe we could snag O'Rourke and Mitchell that way and add a couple of young and serious talents to our list, but also more depth, when you factor in Trengove also coming back that adds another three quality midfielders and Hogan to give us more fire power

this would also then give us the ability to draft Petracca who to me looks a legitimate superstar in the making, Roosy loves the tall, solid mids and Petracca has that but he also has the ability to break games open and drag his team over the line!

exciting times

    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
