This is going to go on all year, isn't it?!

If he leaves and then it turns out that we knew all along he was likely leaving, but chose to hold him anyway rather than get a great deal in a super draft, that will be close to a knockout punch for me with this club.

I really believe he is staying for an extra 2 or 3 years , as he does love us and perceives we are in a premiership window and going home at say 27 he still has so much time . I'm not against that at all.

Biggest concern for me with that is dockers are also in the window they have a great list and he would top em off nicely ..
Fingers crossed now for 12 months big cox has the job ahead of him to get him to stay

Even if he was likely leaving I would rather keep him this season and chase a flag.

No concerns holding him to his contract here

As he had a valid contract we couldn't trade him against his will so this is a complete nonsense. He had to request to be traded and he didn't. Game over

It was said in draft thread during the year that he did request a trade and club said no.

And even if that was completely made up, there is still a big leap to suggest we would have been trying to trade him against his will.

Trade thread says enough lol

Is it time we start a death riding Freo thread?

[caesar88]

I have heard from a reasonable source that this is what Warner wanted and will keep this up all next season.

Rhymes with blog.

I can't believe we would be that stupid to hold him to his contract if we think there is a chance it might play out like this all year.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

As good as he is we dont need people like that

And you don't think that your view regarding Warner is at all influenced by your view expressed below?

There is not one fibre of my being that doesn't think we'll be absolutely fine if Warner were to leave. Overrated AF.

I mean George Hewett has a kick with his son after a game and you think as a result;

George Hewett is one of the great people in footy.

Of course Hayward in your opinion is the 'most unwatchable Swan we've ever had in my lifetime', whereas Rowbottom could be the Sydney cat killer and you'd claim he was just misunderstood and that it was all Horse's fault anyway.

We all have our favourites and those we tend to despair of, but forgive me if I take your opinion or info on any of those 4 players with a grain of salt.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Regardless he is still under contract with Sydney this stuff is inappropriate to do and reflects poorly on him.

 

[bedford]

What evidence to you have that he's done anything wrong , golf with Pyke who had coached him and a former Swans captain , so what , it happens. Next someone will have a mic in a bunker and heard a conversation

 

[tombomb]

Maybe he just wanted to do them the courtesy of giving them the bad news to their face.

It's like The Godfather or something.

 

[ashep]

Wait, so "golf with Pyke and Jack" didn't mean Mike and Brandon??

No worries, you don't have to.

But if I was in the business of making things up when it suits me, I'd have gone for something to help me out in battle over Jake Lloyd all these years.

 

[Superstar swan]

Gotta say , this seem a bit grubby from his managment

 

[bedford]

Gotta say , this seem a bit grubby from his managment

How and in what way

 

[McRobie]

Thanks for the memories Chad.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Tbh, I'd be happy to ship Chad off and look to entice someone like Petracca over to the club.

Not sure if Trac is gettable, but I wish the swans had done that this off season.

 

[Superstar swan]

How and in what way

Twice he has gone to wa with publicised meetings from the clubs.

Surely his management would have advised against a golf game with anyone associated with wce knowing the optics of it.

Just applying cheap pressure to the club , when we don’t really need it atm

 

[Superstar swan]

Chad is getting paid regardless. Every offer he gets is over a million .

Pretty immature for me, inexperienced manager is obvious .

Knowing the money is coming, Chad should be be conducting himself a bit more professionally
