Media Swans Talk in the Media 2024

Any discussion about “first round picks” is daft because there’s a huge difference between pick 1 and pick 18 yet both are first round picks.

That’s just a general observation, not specific to King and Cornes’s discussion, which I’ve not listened to (yet).

I'd have to listen again but I thought King was talking top 3 picks specifically.

 

[tombomb]

Yeah ok.

Can you name any deals for midfielders that have worked out?

Horne Francis is going okay.

But I can't remember a midfielder as good Errol changing clubs since at least Lachie Neale and probably Gary Ablett jnr anyway.

Both of whom would have been well worth two first round picks.

I didn't hear any 'no, but' qualifiers in his answer. I didn't listen all the way through though.

Cornes asked, would you give up two first round picks for Horne Francis and then Gulden?

King answered no to both, because midfielders can be replaced easily at the draft.

I was just listening to this and don't think his take is as bad as it can come across in isolation. His argument was that key position players like Jeremy Cameron are far more worth two first rounders than a midfielder (for the record he also said he wouldn't give up two picks for JHF or Wardlaw) because the incremental gain amongst midfielders isn't quite worth it.

It's a logical position. WCE destroyed themselves by overpaying for Kelly regardless how good he is.

JHF hasn't improved Port to the tune of two top picks though, which was the entire argument lol. Not in the way that Cameron improved Geelong which was the example.

I dunno think you're twisting this into something it wasn't.

Yeah Kelly's the one that springs to mind.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Seeing all the posts above:
Helluva difference between 2 top 3 picks and say 17 and 18. IMO the first no way, the second worth considering.
A lot depends on how using those picks will affect your draft hand.
A lot depends on how much that trade will improve your midfield.
Not one answer fits all.

luke parker thought dylan shiel to essendon was significant ... ahhhhh hahahahahaha

So could have had Geogiades, Rivers and Chad but traded the picks and took Kelly. Is Kelly incrementally better than Warner alone to make it worth it?

It's been said many times that they screwed the pooch with that deal. And no he isn't but no-one knew that then.

Imagine if this happened today. There'd be 85 million hot takes, Kane condemning the AFL for getting it wrong, the AFL hastily updatijng its fruit protocols, Kane condemning the AFL for over-reacting, etcetera. Simpler times back then.

I also remember Peter Bedford giving an upper cut to a Cats player , these days the video might've got him and cost him the Brownlow

I would like to thank you #Callipgian for letting the powers that be at the Swans HQ know about it.

I thought you were in the cheer squad at that time. I'm pretty sure it was the two girls who were sitting next to me but then again, it was 54 years ago. I do remember, I was keen on both of the girls at the time.
