"Looking forward to a rebuilt, new, fast and exciting Swans model in 2010"
They're not looking for a stop-gap - they're looking for a key forward.
Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
"[T]here are things that matter more and he's reading and thinking about them: heaven, reincarnation. Life and death are the only things that are truly a matter of life and death. Not football."
If they are going to off load a first round pick for Hall then they are looking for a stop gap signing to snare a premiership next year.
Thompson for free would probably give exactly what the Doggies are looking for, a bail out go long option when under pressure.
Hall is no different to someone like Robert Murphy, he works his player over and plays his best football when he is getting space and moving laterly.

Possibly the worst post I have ever read.
Thompson is NOT what the Dogs are looking for. "Stop Gaps" do not win you a premiership. Thommo was useless at the Kangas, and he'll be the same at the Dogs. He cant run, cant take a pack grab and is an average kick. Used to be great value but his time has passed.
Hall is not just a "bail out option". Thats what good forwards are great for, but they are more than just a contest on a forward flank. You become a liability if thats all you are good for.
Hall and Murphy are similar? Come on mate. When I see Murphy crash a pack and cause a spoil I'll reason with you. He is a good overhead grab, and a strong lead. Finals showed him up as a dud player when under the pump.
He and Hall are VERY different footballers.
The reality is, with this list, our Premiership window is closed. We can go for Kerr, but will need to give up O'Keefe. Doesnt really give us a greater overall advantage.
What we need are good young players coming through. Some Vespas through the midfield. A potential KPP for down back. At the moment, we are not a chance at a flag anytime soon.
We don't need the Dogs' draft picks. We need one of their quality, fast, onballers. They've got heaps. A Swans/Dogs trade would be a definite win/win IMO.
Hall and our first round pick for Griffen.
Deal.
He ate more cheese, than time allowed
Dumbest. Rumor. Ever.
BH is going nowhere. He's our premiership captain and will remain a Swan till he's 6 feet under.
And to those naysayers who are stating that our 'premiership window' is shut:
Must suck to be you.
Damn that Sorcerer! Twenty gold pieces and I'm wankered on rohypnol!
Yeah, I must admit my life has somewhat gone to pieces. I am constently wrestling with my mental demons, leading to unintentional gibbering in public places at innappropriate moments.
Life sucks when you think your team is out of the race for the time being.
Wish I could be like you instead.
He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.
Seriously?
Barry has no trade value whatsoever.
He's still contracted and it would cost whatever team that wants him an awful lot of money to take on that contract. Is he worth it???
He's on the wrong side of 30.
He's as blind as a bat.
He still has a bad attitude problem.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
