Terrible for fwd pressure. Happy we didnt sink money into him.
Not sure what you are saying here?
Riccardi was drafted by GWS
Himmelberg and Finlayson are from their academy
Hogan has been moved on from a couple of clubs already.
Vs Buddy who has been a champion for us.

He's out of contract afaik & anything we offer will be above the $0 that Collingwood will be offering.

Last 2 drafts we've picked up
Blakey, McInerny, Rowbottom. Foot, Warner, Stephens
No harm in backing our recruitment team

Agreed. That is a good group. I love McInerney and Rowbottom especially, and I suspect Stephens will turn out to be a good selection. Warner and Foot are still up in the air but they could turn out to be great choices too.
Gould as well
I think Hickey is a significantly better ruckman than Cox. They are completely different players. One is a ruckman, one is a key forward.

Riccardi was pick 51. Totally gettable.
Buddy 34 and injured.
Im saying we dont have any young key fwd prospects.
Glaring hole.
Are our recruiters alseep at the wheel?
In a way, I kind of understand what Collingwood is doing.
They are desperate to get off Treloar's contract, but they can only do it if he asks to be traded.
When he does agree to be traded, it will be interesting to see if a club is dumb enough to give Collingwood anything of value for a negative asset.

Mccartin better back.
Blakey better on a wing.
Neither are key forwards. McCartin has looked better down back and Blakey on the wing.
It didn't sound to me like they completely put a line through the Aliir thing.
I don't think anyone is saying they are happy with the list.
Sometimes there just isn't the value there or you can't convince players to come.
Should we just go and make trades for the sake of it? Trade pick 3 for Crouch or Treloar's toxic contract.
I dont think if we are quiet again it means anything about what we think about the list.

He hasn't debuted
What part is poor?
We are clearly playing the long game, but it is the right strategy if you want to have a period of sustained success.
True but I think he’s a better prospect than at least Foot or Warner, deserves to be in that group of good talent brought in the last couple of seasons
You forgot pick 3
It is if we can keep the list together.
At least Charlie Gardner dispelled the rumours that Buddy did a hammy putting his bins out.
Playing the long game means resigning ourself to wasting the end of Buddy and JPK's careers, and the end of the prime of players like Parker, Rampe, and Lloyd for the promise of the next crop.
Sure, Heeney, Mills, Rowbottom et al might turn into a premiership core, but we've still got some pretty bloody good players on our list who now may not play another meaningful game in Swans colours.
At the same time, we've let best 22 players like Jones, Rohan, Hanners and Nankervis leave the club only to watch them play September footy whilst bringing in depth players like Taylor and Thurlow. And who's to say it stops there? Papley wanted out. What do we do if Hewett or Dawson want to leave next season?
Sure, playing the long game is a sound strategy, but you're gambling of a bunch of promising unknowns reaching the level of senior players on the list right now, if they even stick around at all.
