Purely on the disgruntled factor, you'd think the Swans' top three would be Moore, Bevan and Currie. The reasons for their disgruntlement make them unappealing to GWS though.
Then probably Seaby. He could play the Josh Fraser senior supporting role to Jonathan Giles. Any idea what his contract status is?

Looks like they have their on-ball division set, time to recruit some talls at either end of the ground.
If Sammy Reid hasn't signed by the start of Round one I will be worried! The media will go to town on it for the whole of the season if that happens.
Also does anyone see GWS winning a game next year? I think they are in for some lean seasons.
Going by last year I think we can expect some finals teams to lose players, otherwise we'd probably have heard about the rest by now.
They'll always be a chance at grabbing a win at some point in the season, but I think they've taken a very different approach to GC and can afford to wait for long term success. GC grabbing the >25 y.o. players needed to get some wins over the first few years to get value from those guys, if GWS sign a bunch of guys that'll be <22 y.o. going into next season then they've got some time to build and still get prime value from those guys.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
GWS also have the same concessions re: uncontracted players next year as well.
Persistent rumours that Goddard will be a big name signing next year under that concession, but there is a small chance that if StKilda get bundled out of the finals this week (yes please) the Saints may even talk about moving Goddard on this year if they consider one of the 17yo's worth it...

I'm almost resigned to the fact that TDL will be added to the list of small forwards let go by the Swans - see Schneider, Davis, Veszpremi - and will become a Giant. Don't want it to happen but I can definitely see it happening.
Moore would actually be a great pickup for GWS. I wouldn't mind seeing him stay in the red and white, but if the powers that be have decided that he is not in our best 22, then his football brain and on-field leadership skills could be important for the young Giants.
