Adelaide

Not worth a first round pick tho

 

[Maddo11]

North, Hawks, Eagles or Freo

Saints love Swans players.

A few on twitter saying it was the crows

 

[The King!]

I think you missed the Tassie Devils.

LA Lakers

Yer saw the tweet just now

[Ed_Gein]

Wow! Was offered a 10 year deal by someone? When clubs start throwing that around you know they must be a pretty special player. So happy he's decided to stay, but I don't think he ever considered leaving.

 

[Superstar swan]

Massive commitment to the club by errol. A 10 year deal would be life changing for any young player. To turn that down would be no easy task, but his loyalty and commitment has shine through.

 

[Ticky009]

Maybe one of the South Australian teams , or the WA teams.

Gold coast, or Brisbane possibly.

I might guess a big 4 Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond, Essendon

or a lesser club Hawthorn, Melbourne, Stkilda, Richmond or North.

Bulldogs or even GWS

one of those

So like everyone I see what you did there

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Perhaps we offered 10, but he only wanted 4.

Fox just sent me a contract

He spoke very well but pretty much I think he's backing himself to improve

Exactly what I’d heard from a couple of sources

Adelaide on the 2 step acquisition strategy.

Bid high on Gulden to stretch our cap so we don't match Hayward.

Freo going the same approach, push us on Logan to get at Warner next year

Let's hope both strategies fail

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Was just chatting to Errol. He has some news.

He called me first

 

[hairy biker]

Obviously great news, but I don't think he's the finished product just yet.

Certainly next pre-season if he could work on getting a bit taller that would be good.

There's always something

There's always something

I must admit I was going for the "oh ffs, are people ever happy on here" initial reaction.

Mind you a former England goalkeeper in Peter Shilton told the story that, in his teenage years, he used to hang from the bannister at home in an effort to make his arms longer.

I'm also sure I remember a story years ago about an athlete in the behind the Iron Curtain days having his legs broken and steel rods inserted to increase his height (although that might also have been a story about Paddy Cripps).

Off topic, but I still reckon the choice for Will is to stay, or go to a Melbourne club

 

[ashep]

Crows must have really wanted him badly to be willing to cop the trade ban and early retirement stipulations.

 

[Kiama Chris]

We'll never know what the Swan's initial offer was but I reckon 4 years is very smart by Errol (and/or his manager). It probably maximises his pay in that period, takes him to Free Agency, almost certainly Restricted and sets him up for a long and lucrative contract at age 26.
For the Swans they will have the opportunity to match any offer.
Let's not forget that he shares a manager with Logan. Any bets on the same deal?

Problem with this Hairy, is that you're too nice, everyone on here would know that you weren't serious.

 

[bedford]

If anyone gets the chance to see him on 360 tonight we have an outstanding person , what an interview and even with Slobbo who summed it up well by saying other clubs would love to have a person like this on their list

 

[bedford]

Talked about his family how they all do something at the club , he wasn't going anywhere

 

[MF]

Yeah I didn't realise how entrenched his entire family was with the club. Clearly was never going anywhere else

Wasn’t mentioned but also his older brother Adam was a good NEAFL/VFL player (was the Swans VFL captain until recently).
