List Mgmt. 2024 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

[anotherletdown]

We are the window, heeney , paps etc are 29

We need some harden bodies

Kids won’t do until 3 to 4 years

I'd like to think we're in the window but there's a lot of heavy lifting being done by some relatively old players. Plus, are we real contenders? We've shat the bed last 2 times around.

 

[anotherletdown]

Just a sheer coincidence it’s us and Gold Coast who are affected

This 100%. St Kilda got their mope on Re Battle compensation and this is the result. Gotta look after those poor Victorian teams

 

[The King!]

Logan at pick 4 and Campbell aren't yet living up to the pick if I am honest and hate to admit it .

Campbell has only just started to attack the contest and went backwards in the last two finals. Lacks mongrel. We make Logan run all over the park rather than building into a traditional KPF. Not sure we're doing either of them a bunch of favours.

Next year is a big one for Logan. Needs to show a lot more. You have to wonder if those match winners went through whether his season would have been different.

Agreed it's on the club to a large extent and I'm not saying either won't make it

 

[The King!]

Also if you did trade a chad or whoever get ready made players in imo

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

I agree, but I sort of disagree regarding Amarty, and by reading a lot on here, I think I'm in the minority. I reckon I'd play him over McLean as a backup ruckman/FWD.

He has much greater athleticism, quicker, and I reckon he could actually be a bit of a weapon around the ground if he has a big pre season training for that role.

McLean has been solid the last couple of years, but he was really poor in the ruck on Saturday, beaten by both Brisbane ruck options handily.

Lastly, I definitely disagree with playing both Ladhams and Grundy in the same team. Ladhams is not good enough as an AFL forward option, IMO.

I almost feel like Amartey and McLean need to switch roles.

Amartey as the second athletic ruck as you say. McLean to bulk up and aim to be a monster full forward.

 

[Benmacca33]

I have read the last dozen posts and agree with all of em but all it does to me is make the case stronger that this is all on the coach ..
Until he changes his mind set style game plan and player roles what’s gunna change ..
Nothing has the last 2 yrs so to me proof is in the pudding

 

[WillHayward]

Maybe we should speak to a Matt Kennedy type

We also need some more mongrel.

Amartey is built like Tarzan and didn't lay one single tackle.

If you are that big and you can't mark it then hurt someone. Not off the ball or against the rules. But make a tackle and bury someone.

Can keep one but not both..they just aren't very good

 

[Dan87]

I've got it

Will Green to train as an intercepting defender during preseason

 

[Swans man]

Okay need to start a bidding war with freo and West Coast and put warner bros both on the table.

West Coast minimum 2 first rounders and a future 2nd.

Freo second round and serong. Freo will be in the same.position as us. Serong has stated he loves the swans. So if he was interested they mise well swap and 2nd rounder for Corey warner.

We need to be bold and put another good player on the table. Florent or a macca on the table. We need to move on a McLean or amarty no room For both.

Then we have our delistings does the rugby convert survive (mcandrew) does konstanty survive. I think Buller survives one more year. I think ladhams survive if he doesn't want out. Simply Gundy could drop anytime.

Then we look at wicks do we keep or do we let go. Wicks could hold some value.

We then bring in mature and draft in and go again.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Amartey cops alot of flak. However there is alot of talent to work with there. Another full preseason to back up from a relatively injury free year will hopefully build his tank and durability, allowing him to be an option as a backup ruck. If this eventuates, I think he is the preferred option over Mclean if we go for a two tall setup.

Either one not really fussed we were too tall in the final

 

[melbournehammer]

I've never thought campbell was a pick 6

I reckon campbell and gulden were a job lot. 38 divided by 2 - both around the 16-18 mark

 

[Adnico26Parker]

I know its Ralph, but if this is anywhere near accurate, it's the last thing the club would need/want for the whole of next season...

could be on his way back to Western Australia as the rumour mill goes into overdrive following his side’s embarrassing loss to the Lions on grand final day.

Warner remains contracted until the end of 2025 but both West Australian clubs believe Warner will request a trade back to his home state by the end of next year, according to the Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph.

“WA-based clubs are of the belief it is his intention to return home at the end of next year. He’s stubborn enough to believe he can get through a whole season of a contract impasse. They believe it’s not an ambit claim, it’s not a contract negotiation,” Ralph told Fox Footy’s On the Couch.

“He and his partner, who’s also from Perth, just want to go home. They even believe that if Sydney had won this game, he might have put in a trade request. A really small chance, but it’s absolutely zero now,” Ralph continued.

“This is a 12-month saga. It’s not going to be easy for this club to negotiate through. It’s another distraction this football club doesn’t need coming off this loss.”

Collingwood champion Nathan Buckley wondered whether the Swans would get aggressive at the trade table as they seek answers after a second embarrassing grand final defeat in three years.

“I wonder how aggressive and proactive Sydney need to be given the performance in two of the last three years of some of these players,” Buckley said.

Warner had just 21 disposals and a goal in the ten-goal loss to the Lions in the grand final but was one of the Swans’ best performers in 2024.

Might distract from the grand final record chat .

 

[The King!]

Trading players who haven't peaked yet is not ideal. Hope it's bullshit ,we need him.

Just send him now. He's not staying and we don't need a half committed Warner dragging his value down all of next season.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Next year is a big one for Logan. Needs to show a lot more. You have to wonder if those match winners went through whether his season would have been different.

Maybe. Or maybe if he was different those match winners go through?

Does he have the killer extinct?

 

[Neverwas]

Biggest miss was serong

Wanted to come , Sydney supporter and we went with a skinny winger who shirts contract

Does my head in.

Stuff it send warner and his little brother now..if freo really want him well we need to fix our mistake. We really want serong. Simple. Warner has value now. Him dragging his value around next year and taking focus off TEAM performane.The club doesn't need that bs next year......get it done now

 

[The King!]

Oh well it's all speculation , but yeah they need to talk to him and work it out now one way or the other if it's a thing .


Just don't lose him for a Dawson like deal .

Would be saying to Chad you want to go home that’s fine there’s two clubs we are dealing with both you don’t like it sign a contract.

Much rather deal with WCE. Junk mid first rounders from Freo aren’t enough

If he wants to go home he'll ask for a trade this offseason. No point in waiting
