Hayward for Judas.

Job done.

God I’m a good negotiator.

I think you'll have to stop calling him that

In terms of pipedreams and trading, I reckon we throw all our gewgaws and baubles at Sam Darcy and/or Mac Andrew (whoever might be gettable - obviously Darcy is the more desirable proposition). They are the types of players we need - heck any club would need - and who could help us for a long time to come.

I'd also be really happy to chase Lukosius (as I was 18 months ago when he was coming out of contract and his stocks were lower). The Suns have stockpiled an incredible array of talent and surely they can't hold on to them all.

What is the evidence that Snell can play forward?

Because he played forward before moving to defence in his draft year. We see him as a KPD, but we called him a utility when we drafted him. I think he played forward a bit in the VFL pre season games, and won't be surprised if he plays there again during the year given the KPDs we have at reserves level.

If you're asking me if there's evidence he can play forward at AFL level, well, he's a first year draftee...

Mac Andrew looked awesome and I did want to poach him in that moment

Glad you raised Lukosius as an option, at this point I don't think he's even being used as a forward by the Suns maybe we can tempt him away. SA teams would go hard but the Crows are a shambles so we should surely ask the question.

Not sure about JJ, but yeah Corey seems to have all the right attributes but he’d need to improve his tackling.

The irony for me about Smooch was in the early days I thought he was hopeless and kept thinking how the hell he kept getting a game, but the coaches certainly knew what they were doing and stuck by him thank god

Corey is not great one on one.

The Hillbilly God, Jed Clampett Walter, will take the Lukosius role. In two years King will play supporting KPF. Bookmark it.

Always been a massive Lukosius fan.. Get the impression from recent chatter that he'll be out the door at the Suns. They've got truckloads of quality KPPs and theres no way they can afford to keep them all. Agree I reckon the SA teams (probably most teams) will go hard, and he'll be very expensive!
The Swans like elite kicks.. and Lukosius certainly can kick!
Just watched 'Mid Week Tackle' on Kayo (pretty poor show), but they were saying that the crows are willing to trade both this years and next years first round picks. Cant remember the last time the Swans traded out their 1st? They also mentioned Joel Jeffrey as being one that might go..

I didn’t mind it, we could play him forward or back

That's interesting. They've preferred to target Free Agents & RFA's so they can get them for nothing and use their first round picks for the draft. Hope it comes back to bite them on the arse and no one trades with them.

Lukosius named HFF vs GWS, FF vs Dogs, HBF vs Crows, FF vs Tigers. King out for some of that. The HBF is mystifying. Fairly tall at 195cm but certainly a good player but only averaging 15 possessions, one goal and half an assist so far this year despite playing forward.

 

[Dan87]

Lukosius has played a 100 games and kicked 60 goals. He's not a strong contested mark.

His best position is massively up in the air imo

I think he's probably a winger or flanker that can push forward and create a mismatch tbh

Yep, Whats his best position?
I remember when Blakey was playing forward and Lukosius playing in defence.. Lukosius beat Blakey every time!

His kicking is elite.. long, powerful and direct. If hes got the tank, He'd make an awesome winger.
Maybe not strong / heavy enough for a full forward?
Intercept defender?
Half back flanker??

 

[Dan87]

With Mac Andrew I'm pretty sure you'll end up with a star intercepting key defender

I mean he's probably worth getting out of there but fans are going to have coniptions while we all figure it out.

I don't think he's an intercept defender but that would be something to try

If Dan87 is correct and he's not a great contested mark then maybe intercept defender might not be a good spot for him? The big question, as always, is "would he improve us?"

He played back for years, he only went forward last year

He kicked 39 goals and took 22 contested marks, 140 marks total
Played alongside Ben King who kicked 40 goals 23 contested marks, 67 marks total

King and Lukosius are the same age

 

[caesar88]

Can anyone in the know clue me in to one Joel Cochran? I hear he's a potential academy product in this year's draft but at 195cm - as Anthony Hudson would say - I see it but I don't believe it!

How the Adelaide teams keep throwing up their interest in every quality player available forever and a day is getting annoying now. Hope they both eventually end up with average squads and a bursting cap only to then have their best up and comers poached by other clubs. They are absolute scabs and make no secret about it.

 

[Ticky009]

Blues and Demons named as seeking Hayward. SA Clubs also in the mix of course.

Report: Blues and Dees chasing free agent Swans forward

“It’s also important to note that as a restricted free agent, Sydney can match any offer.”

They should attempt to draft them in the first place

You’ll see more clubs willing to trade out first rounders as the draft becomes compromised by Tassie.
