There is no point in keeping him and getting about 50% less in 12 months and then having a whinge about it.

We are not close to a flag with or without him.

We were 2.5 quarters away from a flag with him. Every chance he can go to another level with his consistency and toughness in his 24yo season.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Make it make sense!!!

If he wants to leave, we should make it happen for the club’s sake!

I just mentioned in another thread. If Chad was intending to go home, why would he be trying to convince the Swans recruiting staff to draft his brother Ashton?

Who said we were?

Also Chad has a partner and they both want to move back to WA…

The problem is that if he wants to see out his contract and have another crack next year before going back home in '26, there is nothing we can do about it.

We can't trade him unless he wants to go and he's got every right to stay.

Really WHO said that
Giga can piss off and Chady can stay

If he stays then I'll support a title change from 'GigaChad' to 'LoyalChad' just for you bedders

 

[Punts]

Will get fuxked over next season

 

[anotherletdown]

One more year of this back and forth... can't wait!!

Seriously, piss him off. Or, sign on to free agency.

Dragging this circus on for one year while handing leverage to WA teams is pointless.

 

[Superstar swan]

He thinks he’s doing the right thing by sticking around , but we will get shafted next year like the dawson trade .

Unless it’s a directive from his new club to get him for a bargain price

What a lot of crap , we win a flag and he goes WGAFF

 

[anotherletdown]

We aren't winning a flag next year. Especially if we think shifting the deckchairs will put us in a stronger position.

Eh i dont know how the defence and Grundy are going to get through yet ANOTHER 24 weeks of football win 16-17 games just to be in a favorable position again.

Its going to be a very tough start to the season with the reported surgeries planned.

How do you know

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Back on board for 2025 bedders?

 

[Jewelsbon]

I get the sentiment behind trading him this year to maximise our returns but I don't think that's the play.

A lot can change in 12 months time, we should be backing ourselves to try to keep him, and it's not like we're going to get a poor return for him next year regardless.

We aren't far off a Premiership like keep trying to insist. We're a few days removed from a second GF appearance in 3 years FFS and I'd back our improvement next year to match, or be close enough to matching, other clubs next year (outside of maybe Brisbane given the players they have to return, their list is scarily good) to hold our position. I think the only older player on our list that's nearing the end that will be particularly hard to replace is Rampe.

We do need to win more clearances though. I think that means starting one of Warner/Gulden on a HFF or wing - they should almost never be at the same centre bounce if we want to be competitive there. We need Sheldrick to break into the best 22 next year, or maybe Mills to find his mojo again in the midfield.

Any talk of getting Serong for Warner is fanciful. He seems very settled at Fremantle, there's no reason he would be interested.

I don't know what game you saw on Saturday, but I saw one team play incredible football and the other team, who had everything going their way, make a total arse of themselves, just like they did 24 months prior.
This team ain't winning no flag till it gets some heart and grunt - Warner gives us neither.

How do you know

Because I had my eyes open last week
