Darcy will eventually go CHB or CHF anyway for them.
Well hasn't this thread gone quiet..
I know, its really annoying.No one wants to talk about draftees
Seems an odd statement if it’s Sean, don’t think he can play any other position outside of ruck.Are you talking Sean Darcy at Freo or Sam Darcy at Bulldogs?

i wouldn't mind a player or two for our backline, Rampe & Fox aren't getting any younger. Lachlan Rankin I feel has some great potential but we need a few more.
I've liked the look of Busslinger just not sure he's going to be there for our pick.Hustwaite, Weedle, Keeler Szybkowski and Busslinger (likely need to trade up) around or first
Bevan, Gilbey, Teal, Michalanney, Verrell and Edwards would be nice in second round and later.

Top 10 minimum I would think. Has looked good both defending and attacking.
Been looking more into Hustwaite and really think we should take a chance on him. Boom or bust recruit but we have two firsts currently.
Verrell would be an astute pick up late
I thought he might, but since we’re playing Melbourne in this year’s GF, we only have 17 & 18 (or 18 & 19 if the AFL takes pity on Norf).I've liked the look of Busslinger just not sure he's going to be there for our pick.
Ladhams + Darcy would have one moving on to be first ruck.All the talk of Jackson going to Fremantle - is it worth inquiring about Sean Darcy? Not sure that Jackson is a forward, and Darcy can only ruck. He would be a big bullocking ruckman with a physical presence (a bigger Mumford?) that could be ideal for our squad and the SCG.
I would happily give up one of our first round picks this year (+ a little more) for Darcy. Already been in the AA squad, only 24 which is quite young for a ruck.
This might sound incredibly dumb, given what an obvious talent Jackson is (not to mention he's from WA), but I don't think he's what Freo need. They have Darcy who is a quality young ruck, and Jackson at best could be even better, at worst be very solid back-up/second ruck. And whilst I think Jackson can play forward, he's not the answer. They need a 45-50 goal a season forward, and badly. Is Jackson that? I'm not so sure. He might be, but at something like a million a year, they'd want him to be. Otherwise their recruitment of Jackson could end up compromising their ability to recruit that 45-50 goal a season forward they desperately need.All the talk of Jackson going to Fremantle - is it worth inquiring about Sean Darcy?

Agree with that. But hey, if a opposing team want to compromise their list development who am I to disagree.This might sound incredibly dumb, given what an obvious talent Jackson is (not to mention he's from WA), but I don't think he's what Freo need.

They need a tall forward. They keep playing Louge there but their forwards are a real weakness and it'll only get worse when Lobb leaves.If Freo feel they are in their window, should they go for Buddy?
Back to us, I think our priority is to keep our cap under control so that we can keep as many of our current young crop as possible. In my time as a supporter, I can't recall us having so many guys in the 18-25 bracket who are threatening to go elite. It's so exciting moving into the future and I can see the potential for a Swans dynasty if we can keep them together.
Need to lose a few kg.Darcy will eventually go CHB or CHF anyway for them.
Apparently bought a place in Queensland.All waiting on Buddy I think. That will make a huge difference if he goes/retires.
Tbf it's reported they bought the place in 2019 for 800k.Apparently bought a place in Queensland.
Generally the position they play U18 may be no relation to where they end up. Look at our own team. Blakey & Florent are now down back, as are Paddy & Tom. Teddy & Reg ... the list goes on.I never like the word “utility”, I much prefer a set position, especially with high end selections
