Lachie McKirdy on our upcoming draft
“The Swans don’t have a great history in the first round of the draft outside matching bids. With picks 19 and 22, they must nail the brief come November after being quiet in the trade period.”

Geez your quick
Any relation to the famous footballing family?
Wouldn't surprise me if we trade them for F1 picks next season. We are dickheads on draft night

I don't hate that our poor first round draft record is finally getting some heat.

I'm glad the club is finally getting some media pressure on the right areas. Maybe things will start to change.
About bloody time. Beatson/Keane need the blowtorch.

It’s not the clubs fault these first rounders don’t work out. Just unlucky really
Posted in the draft thread but seemed a bit relevant here considering the above:
Just looking at our first rounders for the last twenty years (drafts where we had a pick only). I guess we'd have to agree onwhat we consider a hit or miss. Is it picking a good player or is them staying at your club the measure of success? I'm not including Academy picks for better or worse in this.
I guess my question is, what does a good record with these picks over this period look like? Would definitely have been great to have nailed 2019, but who's doing a great deal better when they're starting their draft in the late teens / early 20s?

IF the Pies' off-field problems are growing larger by the day ... THEN
The Trade Period is over but Sliding Doors is still in top form ... and Damo's got plenty to say
