    GWS will ensure that we use our first rounder and bid their first rounder for Mitchell..

    Geelong got lucky back in those days being able to get GAblett and to a lesser extent Hawkins for 3rd rounders.

    As Jeffers said, it's a bidding system now.

    All clubs can nominate any potential other clubs father/son before the draft. The father/son's club must then use their very next pick to exercise the option, otherwise the other club gets them.

    eg.GWS say's they will use their Pick 5 for Mitchell. The Swans must use their next pick after #5 (remember this is happening before any trades etc. move the draft order around). If that is Pick 20, then they MUST use Pick 20.

    There would be numerous others throughout the league. Any thoughts?
    So you would replace a key posie player with a flanker? We are going to have a few KPP's getting to the end of their careers soon, Teddy & LRT, we need to draft a young KPP player

    I can see why there is not much incentive to recover.
    Not if Braddy retires. He doesn't get the money as he didn't complete the contract therefore the money goes back into the slush fund to pay for another player. Under the rules I believe the money gets credited back to our salery cap as he didn't complete the contract & therefore won't be paid this sum.

    Besides which Braddy is a man of integrity, and I trust his ethics.

    Would depend on how the contract is structured, but generally a player is entitled to be paid his contracted amount, regardless. If he did have a third year on his contract, his retirement will likely trigger this amount to be included in the current year's salary cap. Seems a little odd that this is stipulated, but it is why Voss' career ending injury caused the Lions problems and forced them to keep him on their list for the final year of his contract, despite the fact they knew he wasn't going to play. I suspect it might also be why Fosdike delayed his retirement until the start of 2009 - ie the Swans salary cap for 2008 wouldn't allow him to retire at the end of that year. There is an injury allowance that provides clubs with some relief for a player retiring with another year or more to go on his contract but it isn't unlimited.

    Is Callan Ward off contract from the Dogs this year ? or is he being targeted by GWS?- he seems pretty good (and no relation)

    Its not a direct replacement, its just a player who could add a bit to our team. We have a few KPP prospects in the wings. Plus we would have draft picks and trade possibilities for others if need be.

    Hmmm, Alex Johnson anyone?

    I'd like to think we could aim to pick up a key forward an free agency if possible and continue to groom Reid, TDL, White and whoever else we have in mind.

    THat would mean I could keep my avatar. I had my photo taken with Dan Menzel, Andrew Bews and a few local Salvos for the Red Shield Appeal. He is a really nice young man, and a pretty decent footballer as well.
