List Mgmt. 2024 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

If Chad wants to go home he'd ask now. No point in waiting.

 

[Bloods86]

He may want to try for a flag in his final year then go.

We need to tell him to commit now or go now.

Surely we're done with being screwed over because of the PSD threat, given the Eagles might have more to give him.

 

[DavyRed]

Ideally I want him to stay, he would likely continue to be a great player for us over many years.

However, if he does really want to go home and if there’s little chance of changing his mind then trade him now and get maximum value for him.

It’s not a question of whether he’s a great player or not, or whether he’ll be hard to replace, it’s about getting the most we can for him.

Also, as others have noted, if he only wants to hang around because he wants one last shot at a premiership then tough luck. That only happens if it suits the club first and foremost. Show some loyalty or leave on terms best for the club.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

SDK is exactly what we need. I would happily hand over our best 1st rounder and change for SDK

If we get 3 from WCE I’d hand that over (cats won’t trade him)

2nd or 3rd hand source, i.e. complete bull

Yep I mean in the same world I’d want Cripps and we’ll give us Trac as well

 

[BloodySwan]

If Warner wants out, keep him for another year and bring someone in now. Our midfield with a star to bolster would really pick it up. But we'd have to throw it at someone like Smith or Oliver

 

[TasSixer]

If Chad stays another year then goes home, I dont want any bullshit of choosing which team. Best offer gets him

 

[RampeRobe]

Have a crack at SDK and Clarry - would fill two desperate needs

 

[DanMG44]

The club is soft. I’d be very surprised if we get any type of big name

You knew it was coming, but it still hurts when you read it.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Who cares about the pick.

It's the $1m per year for 6 years, for potentially a broken player.

No way.

Don’t worry, our medicos are the best in the business at determining if someone is fit to play. If they pass him, I have absolutely zero concerns.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Oliver wouldn't cost too much to get. Demons would put up a brave face, but they would be thrilled to get off his money. If they chip in a decent amount then you can start talking about a better pick and no it wouldn't be a first rounder.

There has been varying reports on what he has left, I've seen from 6/$5.5m to 6/$6.5m.

BUT having said all that you would need to be signing up to babysit him on and off the field. Off the field because he might just do similar off field activities as he was doing with the Dees. I don't see him curbing that behaviour just yet.
Then on the field if he isn't getting the centre of attention treatment he gets upset.

TBH the Swans might be the only club that could set him straight, but it would be a monumental task, and only then would he be a factor on field, albeit a seriously huge one if he gets his life in order and concentrates on fitness.

I’m open minded about Clarry.

I’m not sure Sydney is especially good at turning around troubled players. I think we excel at picking players with favourable upbringings and mindsets and keeping then to very high standards - but let’s just say there is not a heap of diversity among the playing group.

Which is not to say I think we are especially bad are supporting troubled players either. If we go after Clarry I back the club in.

 

[BloodySwan]

Out: Florent, Warner, McLean
In: SDK, TDK, Oliver, Kennedy

Or is this just moving deckchairs?

Why the blue moon are we trading Florent? Signed a long term deal this year

Why would Chad be trying to convince the Swans recruiting staff to draft his brother Ashton if he was heading home? Just saying.

 

[Bloods86]

Why the blue moon are we trading Florent? Signed a long term deal this year

Has currency, fluctuating form and we have wingers/half backs.

Gulden
Jmac
Blakey
Campbell
Lloyd (gives us time to draft someone)

Even Cleary showed some pace / gut running and smart decision making.

Mills was used wing/mid before being put down back due to fitness/form, he'll resume either of those next season.

 

[BloodySwan]

Didn't tackle and we moved him to forward because his form dropped in defence.

I like Florent, don't get me wrong but statistically he's not applying the pressure

 

[anotherletdown]

95% sure he's gone, but I'd like us to ask for Pick 40.

We paid 33 for Adams, it has to be 40 - nothing less

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Any other delisting intel? Exit meetings still continuing tomorrow?

We aren’t trading a bloke we signed for 4 plus years and has 200+ games experience sorry but no.

Yeah no we don’t. Blakey who turns it over ever second kick and Campbell who can’t find the ball? We are in a window we are NOT in any circumstances trading guys who would be in our top 8-10 important players unless we utterly have to. Florent is the one guy in the backline I’m not pulling my hair out every second kick.

 

[sataris]

Any decent Academy/NSW picks?

Don't care about the others.

We have a defender coming in, late pick you’d assume maybe 3rd

 

[Andyy1]

Either Warner signs or new contract, or get rid of him this trade period and maximise value - should be the only thought imo in regard to him.

De Koning is a must to go after if he really is available.

We need ready made players and specific types.
