I have been saying this for a long time. Our midfielders r all slow and can only play one position which forces players out of their preferred position. We really have no wingers per sae. Recruit guys who can play that position or go to other clubs and get them like Kangas have with Polec Hall...

Totally agree make Swans sweat no one else is offfering $800,000 for 4-5 years plus all those other players mentioned r younger and better players

Just shows how bad our recruiters r and why we have drafted so badly. 17 other clubs have the chance to recruit Hannebery as everyone is looking to improve their midfield especially those in a premiership window and NOT ONE has inquired about him. So we see something that everyone else can't...

Swans chasing Gaff and Shiel says something about Hannebery doesn't it They both will cost more but they r younger and faster and a lot better so why do we have to be lumbered with him. He will end up at our club no doubt because Sydney want to get rid of him salary cap space is a loud of crap...

Remember Stephenson was doing the same things Rankine is doing and look how he turned out even with a crook heart pick pick pick

Get it right Swans offered us Hannebery to relieve their salary cap problems and they new he is cooked and they have a huge salary on his head and he is not worth it. Fact. Why is every football commentator and journo all questioning Stkilda chasing Hanners as insane including Paul Roos who all...

Get rid of our best player and only one with pace and bringing in a banged up Hannebery at $800,000 a year for four plus years and another slow midfielder u have to be kidding

Swans want an early pick from us so they don't have to use pick say 14 on Blakey. No one will bid for him in the top 4 so they only use a second and third rounder on him. Tell Swans we will take Heeney and they can keep Hannebery and his inflated wage for another three years. We r desperate but...

Exactly why hasn't Sydney come out and quashed the rumour about Hanners being their man as we would if someone came along and tried to pinch Jack Steven. The reason is they don't want him how much clearer can it be even Paul Roos is coming around to that theory. Wake up and smell the roses Saints.

Hannebery is a lost cause for us. He is another slow mid with injure concerns and can't play anywhere else so he so much like our present day mids who r forced to play out of position re Armo Dunstan Steele Acres etc etc Don't let the Swans roll us over just because Lethlean is friends with...

Totally agree. Our mids r all clones with no X factor that is why drafting Hannebery has me dumbfounded. It could set us back years. Pick someone who could be a star for 10 years then a broken player that isn't wanted by his own club. Chase free agents who won't cost us our first pick like Gaff...

**** Hannebery Swans trying to get rid of him with three years left on his contract at $800,000 and see the Saints as Desperados and at that amount of money he is in the Cotchin Dangerfield and Selwood price bracket r we kidding ourselves he is well past his best and that is why the Swans r...

Just what we need. Can't believe the talk about Hannebery to us. David King Mick Malthouse Dermott Brereton and a few others have asked the question why Sydney r trying to get rid of him because he is cooked and slow so what does he give to our midfield when nearly all our mids r slow we need...

We can't be serious even contemplating Hannarbry. Alarm bells must be ringing in our ears - he is slow and past his best. Why do u think Swans r interested in trading him? Maybe they know he is past it and see Stkilda r dumb and desperate enough to do a deal no way - chase elite talent like Gaff...

A ruckman is a good start - Lycett. Two quick skilful wingmen/mids like Gaff and Isaac Smith. Tallish marking defenders that can repell attacks eg Grimes Stewart Scilily Howe McGovern type. Quick marking mid sized forward eg Stephenson Hoskin-Elliott Mitch McGovern Caddy type. We have far too...

Our defensive stocke r poor Bruce needs to stay because he can kick goals neither Mccartin Battle or Marshall have proven that yet we r only talking potential. Maybe we should try Battle as a key defender as other clubs have with key forwards and have been successful as we all know it is easier...

Gilbert has to go to Moore as the rest of our defenders r too small Carlisle to Riewoldt Caddy is the problem one we don't have a matchup with and our other defenders Rice Geary Savage and McKenzie will be chasing arse that being Richmonds fleet footed forwards. Steele to Cotchin who plays...

Totally disagree. Lets remember we got him as a defender and the way most teams bomb the ball into the forward line it would be good to have another big body down there to compete and help Carlisle. Otherwise we cant cover the three giants that Port have down there. Joyce just looked out of his...

I think it would be goodmove. those who criticise Browns output ipossessions should think again. Kept Hogan goalless and when he went off Hogan nearly won the game for them. Bruce would give us another tall markinh option in defence as we r very small down back. Gawn has given us a huge headache...

Love Sloane but with his injuries and lack of speed we r better off targeting a younger quicker mid like Gaff or an Isaac Smith type while he is not a mid McGovern adds some class to our list we shouldn't turn our back on. Degoey would be handy but that would cost us our first pick which going...

Agree completely. We draft half back flankers and then say they will become midfielders. Our recruiters r the worse and should be sacked as our list is in disarray with know potential to get excited about. Look at Collingwood who finished below us last year but have a midfield group we would die...

Totally agree no midfielders. Remember Clark and Coffield both started as back flankers and we are hoping as hell they develop into midfielders and really good ones. I keep harping on about it but our recruiters are shit no ifs no buts. Skill and pace are obviously not important in today's game...

If we give up our first round pick we should be shot unless it was for a Kelly type. Remember our next pick isn't until the fourth round by which time every other club would of filled their boots with quality players and we will be three picks plus behind in building our list. No faith in our...

Great post. We need to mix it up as the present situation isn't working. Too much blind faith in our players and they arent delivering. Maybe the coaches have very little faith in the rest of our list and that is why are playing the same players week in week out. I can't see a player on our...

When was the last time the saints had two quick wingers. At the moment we have Sinclair and Newnes neither have any speed and we're showed up by the dash of Isaac Smith last night. Pace isn't the be all and end all but when u don't have skills it does help. We can't keep going with the same...

With that few picks we must be really confident of getting free agents to our club otherwise why did we trade out all our picks it doesn't make sense

We only have one pick in the first 70 that makes it hard

Remember we have one pick in the supadraft in the first 60 so how do we expect to climb the ladder quickly

I mentioned that not long ago totally agree no one has improved that Is an indictment on our clubespecially our recruiters and development coaches what do they do during the week when our skills can be so bad. Good luck getting free agents to the club the only ones that will come are those past...
