Swans Board Official Trade Ideas Thread Part II

[hamG]

Mumford will be a gun, your #1 ruck for sure. He has only taken footy seriously for a couple of years and I am pretty angry we are going to lose him but keep Blake, West and D. Simpson

I still think we have a part to play in the whole Fev saga. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up giving Carlton what ever we get for Jolly.

Do not say that. Otherwise, Fevola could be a Swan.

Roos needs to just back in Currie, Orreal and Pyke i'm sure between the 3 of them we'll get some decent backup for Seaby. Why keep filling up with stop-gaps start devloping the rucks we got at AFL level

I'm not too good with what goes on in the reserves but Currie looked a damn good forward target the few times I have seen him play. Is he really meant to be a ruckman? I don't rate Pyke but who knows what will happen with him. He could turn out to be a very good ruckman. I haven't seen or noticed enough of Orreal to rate him. Mumford would be a good get imo.

We really do seem to have a ruck obsession - is Seaby that bad that he can't be our #1 ruck? I don't even get why Seaby would want to come here if he would be playing behind Jolly (as was the original intention) instead of Cox. And now if you're thinking of paying a guy like Mumford big bucks, you would want him to play a fair bit as well so what would that mean for Seaby? I actually wouldn't mind getting Mumford but he doesn't seem like the kind of player you'd throw a lot of money at (unless of course you wanted to totally rule out the prospect of Geelong having a chance to keep him).

Maybe because Pyke and Orreal are yet to be officially promoted to the Senior List for 2010 and hence with Jolly with one foot out of the door, the only ruckmen we have on the Senior List "Officially" are Seaby and Currie. With Currie yet to play a Senior game and somewhat injury prone and Orreal and Pyke new to the code and learning, it is wise to have a 3rd Ruckman on the list who grew up playing the position.

Having read some of the posts from Cats fans, it seems like they wouldn't be all that happy if Mumford left. Probably indicates he would be a good pickup.

Article stated that he would be number two ruckman to Seaby and the amount we are reported to be throwing at him is the same amount that we threw at Seaby. But in also reading the article, Geelong expect him to stay with them. But I agree with the Football Department's view that we need to get another ruckman in who has AFL expirence, is young and can develop as a number two alongside Seaby. But at the same time this doesn't rule Currie out of anything because he can still prove himself with a good preseason. He'll get his chance at some stage and he'll be ready when that chance comes.

You'd think Luke ball walking and wanting to deal with collingwood would be a bit annoying.
Ball was a #2 pick after all. It's not like they have 4739373927393 first rounders.
