Cancelled
He would cost us our first rounder and a good young player in the ilk of Wood and Atley or an untried up and comer like Clarke.
Is he worth it given we have Cunners and Ziebell? I would prefer Neale myself
At the end of 2014 that would've been the market rate for D Swallow. However they couldn't realistically charge anywhere near that much now given his injury issues. The bloke basically hasn't been on the paddock consistently for two years. Unless he somehow gets back and plays at least a month of strong football before the end of this year, there is no way we would give up a first rounder for him. I would say a second round pick and a fringe player would be the best they can hope for. Perhaps McKenzie or Mullet. Even then, I reckon we are paying overs.
Ultimately though it would all be up to a medical assessment. If he doesn't get back by the end of this year who knows what chance he has of getting back ever. Assuming he would only move for his current salary or more, it would take up a fair chunk of salary cap space for a pretty speculative punt.
