Who are the Dees chasing for 2017 and at what cost?

We won't be entitled to a first round pick (2017) in the "kiddie" draft and we can't trade our 2018 first round pick as far as I am concerned. The senior players who seem not to be in the demons future plans have no currency.

Any ideas?

I'd love to nab Hurley, or a GWS youngster that can't get a gig....

Can we package up some later picks for a top 10 pick again to one of the Academy clubs? Could then use that as currency in a trade for Prestia. Not sure who else is available (other than Hibberd). Tomlinson could be a tall defender/swingman option but he's been playing wing and getting games for GWS recently.

I wonder if we have gone cold on Prestia but more interested in Brad Crouch.

I'm intrigued to hear where you've pulled Crouch from, DD?

His contract talk with the Crows has stalled and is a long way off. He's mysteriously been banished to the SANFL.

But what makes you think we're in the hunt?

Well we were very keen on him for our Mini draft pick a couple of years ago. 

Runner up to Jeager O Meara in the rising star and was seriously a jet in his debut year but has just been dogged by injuries.

Personally i think his upside is far larger then Prestia. Thought id still just be as happy with Prestia!

Of all the years I'm glad we've got a fruitful trading relationship with GWS, it's this one. They have more first round draft selections than they know what to do with, and they don't even need them due to the bidding system!

Must use it to our advantage.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a Crouch fan, but I was just intrigued where you'd heard it. I'm hoping we're going for both of them - that is, Crouch and Prestia.

Stuie, we traded our 2016 first round draft pick but i doubt if we can trade our 2017 first round draft pick according to the AFL trade rules,I might be wrong.We need to pick up a diamond in the rough or two in the 2nd to 4th rounds. What are we going to trade for a Prestia or an equivalent ?

You just can't trade 2 future picks in the 1 year

I think we have a great core of youngsters and need to add good players through trade and free agency to help push us into the top 8 next season.

Hibberd, Hurley, Daw, Prestia, O'Meara, Mitch or Nathan Brown, Daniel Merrett.

These are all guys we should be looking at to possibly bring in.

We lack genuine experience down back. Nathan Brown is a premiership Center Half Back who is still only 26 years old. Collingwood prefer playing Jack Frost but Brown could be the extra hard defender McDonald desperately needs as a chop out.

Could still get another 4 years out of him while Oscar develops.

Zak Jones has one more year to run on his contract after this season. I wonder if the dees would couple up some picks for him to help the Swans with academy bidding and other dealings.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
