• Archer Reid (2027), Loch Rawlinson (2025), and Coen Livingstone (2025) sign extensions

 

[greatwhiteshark]

The club is working on Warner but it's very unlikely to happen this year as Swans won't trade him and he won't request an early move. We'll be front of the queue though.

Sydney may want him to move on if his intentions are to go end of next. I think there is a real chance this happens this trade period. How invested is he in Sydney?

 

[ukurrie]

Fairly certain his kids are special needs, think that was the big driver coming back to Perth for family assistance.

Three kids with autism, I believe

 

[Obeanie1]

Swans need help at......... "check notes on grand final" ......... centre clearances.

Can we do it now instead of next season?

 

[ArdentEagle]

What would we give up to get Warner? If he wants out end of next then why not try and push this now?

I think he'd cost - 3+F1. We'd get 19 back this year.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Key Backs in this draft
Believe there is interest from us in Charlie Nicholls SA boy for a CHB position
197cm key forward/back that has very good hands and is a very strong endurance athlete

Defence would suit him better, as he was a shocking kick for goal.
Agree very athletic and great hands.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

TK could be a good move to half back like Zorko has.
Maybe not this year, but perhaps the year after.
Came into AFL later, so can probably play for years to come if we manage him right.

Don't want his shoddy disposal coming out of the back line. Keep him at half forward where he excelled at Geelong.

 

[FKASC]

Yeah he’s a prime candidate to move out of the guts and into more attacking spots. Keep him closer to goals. Fingers crossed old mate sees this

I like the idea. Either half back or half forward. He can't seem to cover the ground, the repeat running between the arcs like the best mids can. We got burnt on half forward turnovers so many times over the last 2 years it's embarrassing. Yeo is the inside bull, Reid the X factor, you need a gut runner to offset those 2.

Probably the main reason I like Baker. He's come from a system of manic pressure and gut running. He's in his prime and will demonstrate the required effort to win the ball back.

 

[Mulldogg]

Duffield heavily pushing the line that Baker wants Richmond to be adequately compensated for the move hence why we’ll have to give up pick 13.

If that’s the case the campaigner can stay at Punt Road. He’s a nice player but only at pick 23, not 13.

 

[archiemoses]

If we give up 13 for Baker it will be all Phil's fault.

If he has chosen us, he is a West Coast player now and should be wanting us to get the best deal possible. If he is concerned about Richmond, stay there.

Lol Sydney have a gun mid on 1 million less than market value in their flag window . They are not letting him go this trade period .

Its better for us to get warner next off season.

1 . He will be cheaper pick wise being OOC
2 . We get to hit this deep draft and get 5 more kids on the list .
3. First year coach gets a season to implement his system before adding warner . Gives guys time to get it right

 

[THE A5]

Defended TK over the years but this year was piss poor and basically mirrored the start of Sheeds demise. For a senior he brings no leadership at all. Prefer to keep him on cheaper coin but won’t bat an eye lid if he leaves. Needs to lift big next season and show some intent not just for a kid like Harley but also for guy like Yeo.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

Baker definitely not for me, only for pick 59 so it wont happen he can then stay at Richmond

Who ****ed are you

Zorko has elite kicking

Kelly misses easy targets under zero pressure then hits a bloke lace out with a bullet . Way too inconsistent for the backline

 

[Smotie2]

Freo can have him

 

[Elite Pete]

So seems like there was a bit of tension at the Tigers BnF. President seemed to give a little back hander to the departing players.

Bolton and Baker finished 5th and for some reason have a speech. Short and sweet to say the least.

Hopefully Bakers supposed stand about what the trade should be isn’t so strong anymore

 

[Elite Pete]

 

[Astro7]

Shirley TK wouldn't move back east, if not Freo, where to? He came back here for family and support reasons re kids. Interesting scenario, a year left, no deal on table. Hadn't thought of him being dropped. Guess we wait and see how he fits in with new coach and direction. Might get reinvented?

[Mulldogg]

Best thing the club could do would be to make him earn a new contract by playing well in the final year of his existing deal.

Held up his end of the bargain in the main but his 2024 was underwhelming to say the least. I know he supposedly carried a niggle but he’s always been a one way runner and that just amplified that deficiency this year I reckon.

 

[mitchzz]

Few too many frothies for Bakes

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Rotham will go down as a disappointing one, drafted as an attacking half back with run and great kick. But came into our era of maintaining possession at the back, kicking sideways, back with slow ball movement. His flair was coached out of him, he then just couldn't get it back when our game plan changed.
Also asked at times to play KPD, which really isn't suited to him at all...

With his late growth spurt, Rotham started to believe he was a member of the KPDers club and he clearly was not. His swagger reminded me of a gun slinger from a B grade Western movie

Imagine Fitzpatrick doing same thing. Would he be aware that wce players want to leave?

Perhaps he would get a phone call mid through…
