For those curious here's where the Melb trio are linked to:

Geelong on Clayton Oliver. Collingwood on Christian Petracca. Port Adelaide on Kysaiah Pickett.

Crazy that Pickett i feel like is the most likely to move. Feel like he would be the type to jump ship back home. Trac won't because Collingwood don't have the 3 FRPs to trade for him and Oliver to Geelong doesn't seem right given they are going to grab Bazza Smith

Well, with the reserves season over there are a number of players who have played their last game for the Swans. Reid the one certainty at this stage. Potentially some or nearly even all of McAndrew, Vickery, Konstanty, Magor, Kirk, Arnold, Francis in danger of being delisted?

Possibly Sheldrick too, if he has the shits with not getting a run in the senior team and asks for a trade.

Edit: personally don't mind Sheldrick and Francis being kept on as depth. The others, not so fussed.

Vickery really didn’t show anything at all to say pick me which is a shame. Guess Hawthorn really got the last laugh with that trade nabbing Weddle
That whole draft was an absolute bust. We might keep Mitchell on for another season but overall none of the players from that year have developed the way we hoped

It will be interesting what our strategy with the draft was.

A lot of the guys we picked were going to be longer term prospects. Konstanty, Vickery, Magor and Owens were very lightly built when we drafted them. Edwards was very physically developed but as a KPD was also going to take a few years.
 
From Konstanty, Vickery, Mitchell, Owen, Magor and Edwards, might only be big Will who will be left in 2025.......
Tbf it was our only real stinker of a draft in a bloody long time its just was very telling this year when we didn't have any real non-KP players coming through as depth. All our depth atm is Francis, Hamling, Sheldrick and other older players

I think they expected Konstanty to have an immediate impact while the others they probably reckon could build into the side.

Maybe that was part of the problem, Magor and Vickery were both brought into positions we weren't exactly lacking in depth

Magor was a medium forward / inside mid. Never really got a fair shot at the former.

Vickery was brought in to play, at least partly, as a one-on-one small defender, where we have only short term depth, unless that's where Mills stays.

Have said it many, many times that we have drafted too many lightly framed players, even the successful ones.
 
Our lack of any quality/promising Key position depth is starting to really hinder us for the next few years.

I doubt we have much wriggle room salary cap wise to get anyone decent. Might have to see if we can get any on the scrap heap. Maybe a cheap trade for DGB as a starting point because we need an interceptor but beyond that…..
