Doubt it. I don't think Bruest would make that much of a difference to the Swans.Swans could have had him for nothing. And would have won at least another flag.
I have my trusted sources and The Herald Sun is not one of them. It says he has recomitted until 2023 which is a bit vague.
I mean, you just cited FootyWire…
Agree though, it’s all a bit odd. It seems he did extend in 2021 because he’s still on the list now.
The 2023 could easily be a Hun typo. I remember when I heard it, I was a little surprised that he got two more years at that stage, but I may have read it in Hun so … and that’s the source of the news in the Josh Morris thread.
Just strange that it doesn’t seem to have been officially announced by the club either way.
Nup - there’s nothing he has which they don’t already get from Papley (with Gulden/Campbell as back up). That’s why they’re playing in a PF next week.Doubt it. I don't think Bruest would make that much of a difference to the Swans.
It's not too late to delete this.
Then everyone will think you're funny instead of thick.

Bruest is more valuable to us than any other side he might have moved to at his age.
Agree. There are several sides who could do with a Bruest in their team. Swans not one of them, though.I respectfully disagree. Multiple teams could do with an all Australian level forward over the next few years. I hope you are not implying that nobody wanted him because that deminishes one aspect of his decision - the desire to stay at Hawthorn, which I know personally is a big part of his decision.

As many have already said here, our veterans who may move clubs would only realistically go to clubs contending for a flag. What’s the point otherwise?I respectfully disagree.

Mate some of your takes are horrendous and this is one of them. Geelong, Collingwood and any other club in the land would welcome him with open arms. You underestimate him as a player he would have kicked 50+ in a Geelong or Collingwood team not to mention the current Carlton team. He is the best small forward in the game still.As many have already said here, our veterans who may move clubs would only realistically go to clubs contending for a flag. What’s the point otherwise?
Geelong have Stengle/Miers Collingwood have Elliot / Ginnavin, Sydney already covered, Brisbane have Bailey /Cameron, Melbourne have Pickett/Spargo.
Like everyone else, I’m happy Luke has chosen to stay.
Not disrespecting Luke at all, but none of those clubs have a need for him. He doesn’t add as much to them as he does to us.
Frankly I think the fact he has 3 flags under his belt means he’s not moving to win a 4th.
