We need a Paddy replacement; a tall defender. The problem is who? Amartey? McLean? Reid is always injured...

A fit Melican and Blakey has improved greatly 1 on 1

 

[Bandicoot]

What do you put it down to, I say it's luck.

It's definitely luck.

I was reading about what Cornes was saying about Darcy Gardiner - had a good finals series blanketing Curnow and limiting Mihocek to the 1 goal, but only played the 5 games this season. Would anybody be interested in him playing in our defence?

At the back end of 2021 and 2022 when he was uncontracted I suggested we might look at him. He's not that big 192cm and 87kg and turned 28 last month so nowadays he would play as a slightly undersized key.
Smaller than Francis (192/93), Arnold (194/95), Melican (194/99), McCartin (194/99) and Edwards (197/100).
Not to say he's not worth a look but....

 

[brad cooper]

It's definitely luck.

the dogs could have been even more lucky, if their dads had of played more games they would have had Hanners, the Reid and De Koning brothers.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Don’t know how determined is our interest in PaddyDow. One constant criticism of him from Bluuuzz fans is his supposed inability to run both ways.

If we pick him up I hope that trait is corrected. I am guessing the bloke he’d replace In best 22is Rowbottom. Paddy would need to show he can run both ways if he is to displace Rowy, who is admittedly under threat from Gus.

Gus replaces Mills next year

People I know who are involved in the WAFL reckon Tholstrup will surprise quite a few.

Been playing league WAFL (not colts) all year & is VERY highly rated in the West.

Agree.

I would not mind him at all.

I would not be surprised if he goes top 15

I doubt he will be around for our second (hawks)

 

[bluespooner]

I don't think that's near his value.

If you do, I'd like to talk to you about some beans

First or second trade?

Some players just don't demand huge trade value i.e. short ball extractors without speed.

 

[Superstar swan]

Every man and his dog know that the swans are the best fit for dow. Let's see how smart he is

I feel very confident Dow is happening.

 

[Kiama Chris]

A lot of talk about Dow and Jordon. Both decent players but both on the fringe at their current clubs. They would/will improve our depth for sure, especially in the short term, which is definitely a good thing, but I'm not so sure that they will improve our best 22. Grundy will do that for sure, but I'm hoping that Beatson might still have something up his sleeve to further improve our best 22.
The eternal optimist.

 

[BloodySwan]

A couple boards have posted Melbourne are pushing Oliver out? Swans and Tigers are interested

Why on earth would they push Oliver out? I'm sure we can find him a home in Sydney with Jordan and Grundy.
We could rename the team the Dee's old boys club!

Something about bad off field behaviour? No idea if it's true, just saying Adelaide, Hawks and Melbourne board are all talking about it

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Goldstein to Bombers

 

[BloodySwan]

Oliver's Instagram has just gone private as well?

 

[RUNVS]

Oliver and Grundy would make us a premiership contender next year. Don't think it will happen but it would be the biggest win the Swans have had in a decade.

 

[Dan87]

Oliver can only play inside, doesn't kick goals and has a pretty big contract til 2030

Melbourne would have to pay some of his salary because it's not optimal to pay a mid that doesn't finish and isn't your captain big bucks in Sydney

Melbourne probably want that money for a key forward

 

[bedford]

Can now confirm that Clarry is absolutely pissed off at Melbourne . He's pretty close to Cripps but Carlton have no space .
Melbourne need forwards , they can have Wayward and a pick gladly for Clarry

 

[RUNVS]

Oliver can only play inside

Well Longmire already won't like him.

I mean, much better to have the jack of all trades, master of none midfielders we currently have.

Well it's probably Buddy money for a guy that Melbourne didn’t notice when he was gone

 

[Bandicoot]

It wasn't a good return at all.

Given his output to that point and his age, it would basically be like us losing Warner now or GWS losing Tom Green for pick 14.

Difference is that we were happy for him to go.

 

[RUNVS]

Only because they have an amazing midfield already. Oliver would address a real weakness, in fact probably the main weakness in the Swans list. I would happily offer this years and next years first rounders for him, though that likely would not be enough.

No one is ever going to think you have inside information
