Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

Geordie Payne can't do much more to put himself in contention for the upcoming mid season draft. His hot form to start the new Talent League season was franked on the weekend by an outstanding display against an Eastern Ranges team boasting some of this years elite midfield talent.

 

[Astro7]

I don't get this mindset at all. He's been great for Harley's development, they clearly have great rapport on-field and he attracts attention away from the younger mids. Most importantly, he's helping us win again, which is vitally important for our culture.

Losing him, even if well compensated, would be a big step backwards.

Must keep Yeo.

This all day long...

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Interesting comment on Gettable RE: Warner

Apparently Freo were very close to getting him last time he was out of contract.

Twomey saying he’s Swans number 1 priority, suggested he had made noises about wanting to come home in previous years.

 

[mattyc75]

North now linked to Geordie Payne with pick 1 of the MSD. Weird selection for them

They like weird selections

Need Swans to win the flag

Id trade 3, Sydney may want us to Split with GC (8 and 11) plus Hedwards (ready made KD)

Warner just turned 23, perfect age profile and entering prime and still will be when challenging

2025 midfield of Warner Kelly Yeo plus developing HR, Hewett and Ginbey is ****ing delicious

With our book ends, i believe we could challenge in 2026

 

[Hap Hapablap]

get warner should be our absolute priority.

and we can def beat freo over it. we have the cap space and trade commodity.

sydney just needs to win the flag.

 

[flyinghi64]

Reid and Warner in the same team bursting out of congestion........OMFG.

Keep Yeo, Pleeeeeeaaaaase.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

If we can some how manage to get Buss, Baker and Warner Even if it requires next years pick that would blow the window right open!! Would be back in contention very fast. Playing finals before Harley's 3 year contract is up would be important in keeping him too.

 

[Obeanie1]

Win or lose a GF may not matter. He's already played in one losing GF. If he lost another one that may also encourage a move.

More money and a midfield group of Reid, Warner, Ginbey, Yeo, Kelly and Hewett is pretty bloody solid core to win the ball. Goal scoring mids as well

Kicking to Allen, Waterman, Maric and a resting ruck.

Haven’t watched gettable yet but Twomey saying Fremantle were close to getting him last time he was out of contract doesn’t line up

He was drafted in 2019 so his first contract would have expired at the end of 2021

Signed a contract extension in early April 2021 through to the end of 2023

Young trio sign on

Sydney Swans trio James Rowbottom, Chad Warner and Nick Blakey have all committed to the club, signing contract extensions.

www.sydneyswans.com.au

Then in August 2022 he signed a new contract to the end of 2025 with a year still to run on his first extension

Warner brothers extend contracts with the Sydney Swans

The Sydney Swans have secured contract extensions for Chad and Corey Warner, with the brothers both committing to the club for a further two years until the end of 2025.

www.sydneyswans.com.au

He hasn’t really come close to being out of contract - signed in April of the year his first contract was expiring then a full year ahead of his second one ending

 

[Sammy J]

Harley, Chad, Yeo and TK would be ultimate BSD goal kicking mid energies.

 

[Big_Birdy]

Warner was an East Freo product wasn't he?

Do we know if he was a Freo supporter? I know it isn't always super important, but I'm confident to say that if both teams are interested then the players usually select the one they followed.

 

[kane249]

Worth noting Warner does have 2 more younger brothers coming through as well



Start with Corey, draft the other 2 and then increase the lure of him coming to us

Being from East Freo it would be safe to assume he was a Dockers fan...But Yeo was a Dockers fan growing up and it didn't seem to matter to him

 

[Chris_6678]

Draft David Warner and i can guarantee we will get Chad & Corey back over.

 

[kane249]

Being from East Freo it would be safe to assume he was a Dockers fan...But Yeo was a Dockers fan growing up and it didn't seem to matter to him

Because Freo didn't want him

They thought they already had too many of his type when he wanted to come home from Brisbane

Their loss, our gain

Geelong supporter mate, his whole family is.

Probably sydney now though haha

April in your last year of contract would be pretty close imo.

It’s May and we’re basically putting Busslinger in our INS for next year.

That's good. Young enough to hate Freo as opposed to simply pity them, and too Young to remember 92 or 94.

 

[Farang83150]

How do you misspell Yeo?

Like this..yeow

Warner was crazy West Coast supporter.

Higher education awaits Murdock as Eagles circle at draft

Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) have expressed interest in dual Simpson medallist Milan Murdock as the in-form East Fremantle midfielder shoots into mid-season rookie draft calculations.

Eagles apparently looking at Milan Murdock (East Freo) for the mid season draft.

 

[RookiePick]

It will be interesting to see who gets offered contracts. Only really Gaff and Trew on this list with definitively stamped papers.
