Its a incredibly taxing role negating a opposition best player week in and week out along with trying to make a impact yourself.
Its a short shelf life unless your a Steven Baker or Crowley but those 2 are the exceptions.

Unlikely, list spots are at a premium and I cannot see him passing a medical.
Naismith is still on the list. A Swans medical involves whether you still have a pulse.

Role players are always at the mercy of necessity. Once their role isn't necessary, their value to the team can drop significantly. A look back over trade periods of the last ten or so years shows they're among the most commonly-traded players.
Might explain why Clarke only got a one year contract from us, as both he and the club may not have that certainty as to where he will stand in the future.

while Clarke started off as a tagger I feel towards the end he contributed more than many small forwards.

Do we think it's interesting that the boys he's teamed up with are not the boys he played with?
Except for Papps. They had a few years playing together.

Hanners also had two years with Hayward before he left the Swans, as well as one year with Paddy when he was at the Saints.

I was raging about it too But as The King has pointed out , the AFL own us financially and appoint 7 out of 9 board members. Just have to cop it. Our hierarchy have to accept being the crash test dummies of the AFL.

I’d sooner see us be the Rebel kid of the family… push back as hard as you can, see on a commercial level AFL needs successful Swans for TV rights, advertising ect we have more leverage than we think or act like, time to grow some

Impossible not to like and respect Kinnear Beatson. In one of the earlier clips (in answer to assessing potential draftees), he said they spoke to Ollie Forent's Mum. They got her blessing for Ollie to come to Sydney. He said, ( paraphrased) if she hadn't given her blessing, they would not have drafted Ollie. We wouldn't break her heart twice in the one year. I teared up.

Listening to Beatson and McCartney it's been interesting. Beatson seems to do a lot of due diligence when it comes to recruiting players from interstate, if he feels they wont make the move we wont keep talking to them. We always make considerations about their connections and who they can lean on outside the club. Spoken about it with Florent, Hickey, Stephens. All already had connections in Sydney regardless of the Swans. I think we've just accepted there are players who we can't approach and just move on from it.
Giants have been burnt a lot. I can understand their frustrations. They likely backed themselves in to keep their best talent but it's just been an endless cycle for them at this stage.
Been burnt , they have been kissed on the #### from the start , wind them up and send the licence to Tassie
