Sums up trade week when the AFL are taking the .. and describing this as a blockbuster deal.

They should have turned it into a TV special called “The Decision”

 

[Kiama Chris]

He won’t be unfortunately

Not gone yet.

 

[Bloods86]

Rather get anyone but Hynes just not a fan not that high would not trade up for sure. He gets to our nominal first sure

Any particular reason? The only reason you've given is him having multiple roles, but that's exactly the same for others you have touted.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Heard the players and staff get free continental tyres and a grimace shake each.

The tyres sound good. Mine are wide low profile and cost a bomb. The grimace shake on the other hand....

 

[ShireSwan]

My logic:

1. Every year, the board lights up because our first-round pick is a "reach". And recent history shows our reaches generally don't work out. A few months back, Trainor was widely regarded as a top 5 (or at least top 10) pick. ESPN was even talking about him as a potential no.1. He's slid a bit in most phantom drafts - but its not because the size, speed or talent has gone.

2. He fills our most pressing need & area of risk - tall defender. Rampe is nearly out the door, McCartin is potentially one head-knock away from the end. Melican has dodgy hammies. Snell may or may not emerge. I don't have the same faith in Edwards as some others on here.

3. The chance of him being a bust is minimal, as he has all the physical attributes, coupled with footy nous.

If we were trying to get up to Pick 13, it just makes sense that Trainor might be the target.

I liked his write-up, seemed just what we needed, went to look at some tape. Quite underwhelming TBH.
I'd def take Tauru or even the small defender Travaglia over him.

He's the worst of that type. That simple don’t want and especially if it’s trading up to do it. Hopefully another club takes him off the board.

Ok, so no specified reason.

That said, if we pick up Hamish Davis instead, that's ok too.

 

[caesar88]

Can't say Jordan and Grundy weren't successful! We don't get Grundy and we are subjected to Ladhams as the ruck!

Or Darcy Fort

 

[Dubai Quacker]

I doubt we take a tall defender.

We lack forwards.

I think the club has more faith in our (tall) forwards than this board.

 

[Kbroome]

He must not like the way that Chad Warner plays then given that is a pretty good comparison to Cooper Hynes

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Adams the real winning trade.
Got him in for exactly what we were crying out for in the GF.
Toughness.

Haha love your posts mate all you can do is just laugh how badly we get it wrong when it matters.

 

[caesar88]

Nothing's happening, so here's a question for folks.

If you could clone three current Swans players so there was two of them in the side, who would you choose?

 

[ScrewInStuds]

Do you get the clones in their prime, or at the same age they are now?

 

[Kbroome]

If you could clone three current Swans players so there was two of them in the side, who would you choose?

Tom Papley, Chad Warner and Isaac Heeney.

Papley so that we don't have to worry about Campbell being a forward or Wicks.

Chad Warner to take out Amartey from the side as Chad 2 would just play half forward. Also by cloning Chad does it give us a better chance that atleast one signs an extension?

Isaac Heeney because he is the alround midfielder

 

[caesar88]

Do you get the clones in their prime, or at the same age they are now?

Just as they are now I guess.

 

[Maximumlnsanity]

I think the club has more faith in our (tall) forwards than this board.

They played a combined 74/75 games together this year and all 3 are contracted through 2026. The club clearly isn’t changing it anytime soon. I personally think it can still all click for this trio, we just need McDonald to finally break out so Amartey doesn’t get forced onto the best defender. Oh and a bounce back year from Dossa too obvs

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Ok, so no specified reason.

That said, if we pick up Hamish Davis instead, that's ok too.

I have never said I wanted Davis at all another in my do not want list. A few others do want him not a fan

 

[rustycrate]

I reckon we if we keep our picks we take a small forward (Berry/Datolli) then a tall (a Whitlock/Shanahan/Faull).

That is what I am putting LukeParkerNo1's house on.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Nothing's happening, so here's a question for folks.

If you could clone three current Swans players so there was two of them in the side, who would you choose?

Fox, Fox & Fox - we'd be a third of the way to a premiership.


All jokes aside -
Mcinerney, Papley, Rowbum

 

[rustycrate]

3 x Rampe.
Imagine 1 Rampe down back plus 2 Rampes in the mids. Big body ones.

Yes please.

 

[Bloods86]

Nothing's happening, so here's a question for folks.

If you could clone three current Swans players so there was two of them in the side, who would you choose?

Heeney, Rowbottom, Melican

One Heeney forward, one in mids. Drop a KPF.

Rowbottoms in the mids, with one about 30% forward.

Melican our best KPD currently, Rampe replacement solved.

 

[ScrewInStuds]

Just as they are now I guess.

In that case Gulden, Heeney & Warner seems pretty straight forward. A Gulden on each wing, Heeney playing forward, with 2 x Warner & Heeney at stoppages.

 

[Maximumlnsanity]

Heeney, Rowy, Tommy Mac

113 in a day , unbelievable , is 1500 a chance
