Little Richard

Good comments in there, wonder if we actually will pick up one of those big Americans from the Swans academy? Could be a possibility to add another project ruckman if Spencer goes.

Thank you Benjamin, it's probably the cricketer in me. I have also watched him play and there wasn't a whole lot there to excite me.

Not sure about all this Jed Lamb love - cracked the seniors this year and played 12 games, didn't really impress though. Averaged under 10 disposals and kicked 9 goals... I think we should be looking elsewhere. Edit: link to stats - http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pc-sydney-swans--jed-lamb

Have you read half the threads on here? Apparently we can, and get some pretty sweet deals in return!

Isn't Roffey that female goal umpire? Any relation?

I like the sound of that deal, pretty fair to all parties.

The rubbish journos have to start somewhere - I bet Barrett had his own 'AFL Draft Rumours' myspace page back in the day.

I agree that Grimes will at least be a co-captain though I wouldn't mind him being stand alone. Maybe Dawes and/or Jones to vice or share it with him. A couple of recent articles seem to indicate that it will be taken off Trengove and I think that is a good move to allow him to focus on footy. Also 'and bleeds red and blue for his team' - I'm sure a few people on here will enjoy that line .

Irony overload

It isn't anymore than a rumour... someones 'mate' saw him getting on a plane. We've heard that one before with Roosy jetting off to Perth.

Won't happen but it's alright because he is definitely worth pick 2. Maybe we could wrangle Karnezis along with him?

That pi$$es me off. As if the Swans need any extra cash to lure players with the list they already have. This extra living allowance thing needs to be seriously looked into if they sign Franklin.

Disappointing seeing that but he probably had to barrack for someone on GF day. Anyone know who he supported growing up?

An improvement on what we have though and has pace, which we are in desperate need of. If he doesn't cost much I'm for it.

It's bloody ridiculous that Sydney can afford this amount with Tippett and the rest of their list. Higher cost of living, hey?

Not really but he was still a key forward and Riewoldt will be another if they were to lose him, leaving them with virtually nothing in that department.

We will not be getting pick 3 in any case, there is not a chance in hell.

This Nick Riewoldt stuff seems pretty interesting. St Kilda must be losing their marbles if they are thinking of trading him - they just lost Kosi and don't have any other key forward prospects and nothing like Riewoldt's quality. Adding to that he seems to have done a good job as captain and appears very devoted to the club. Personally I think it's rubbish but I guess we'll find out.

Some classic titles in there, must admit I haven't seen very many of them. Not usually a fan of black and white as it seems to test my attention span but maybe I've finally matured!

Shane Martin ftw

I think it's clear that it is more about application, competitiveness and hardness at the contest rather than build. Look at Josh Hunt, 100KG and soft as butter.

That's the one, it was surprisingly good. Pretty different from anything else I've seen. And it's the girlfriend, won't be married for a while yet!

Let that Joffa bloke take over their list management department for a day and I'm sure they'd take that. He'd be thinking it's a pretty sweet deal too.

Saw 'Frances Ha' last night at the Nova in Carlton, pretty good! Not usually a fan of black and white films but this one was done pretty well. Bit of a chick flick but I was with the mrs, so it's slightly more acceptable...

I'd happily do this if it was Jay Clark we were trading to Freo. I'd also take a bag of feces in exchange, we'd be getting the better end of that deal.
