Wishlisting or genuine rumours?
Tom Hawkins rumoured to be visiting New South Wales in the coming weeks too
As I said, the silly season is well and truly upon us.
I heard from a friend of mines hairdresser whose daughter babysits for the cousin of the Collingwood interchange steward who heard from the brother of the head trainer that Pendlebury doesn't like FIGJAM and wants out to come to the Swans.
..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

Can anyone see the value of keeping Dylan McNeil (and Nathan Gordon) on the rookie list for a 3rd year?
How do you rate their chances of elevation to the Seniors?
Will there be any interest in them from GWS?
Have Parker, Murphy & another (unexpected?) year of Bolts killed Dyl's chances of a promotion?

There is a limit as to how long you can be on a rookie list and I think it is two years, three for internationals and rookies from non AFL backgrounds.
I reckon Nathan Gordon would be a good chance of promotion to the senior list and McNeill will get another year on the rookies.
Will Kane Murphy be rookied? Perhaps I've got the wrong impression, but he seems to be rated?
Unfortunately I don't think we will have too many list changes, which won't bode well for our chances next year. Unless we inject some quality disposers I can't see up finishing higher than 6th/7th like usual. Personally a couple of the Collingwood boys ie. McCarthy/Macaffer would improve our squad without costing an arm and a leg.
So you don't see any improvements in the group??
With another preseason for the youngsters. The injection of the likes of Lamb,Mitchell and Nipper into the seniors. Hopefully a good run of fitness for Pyke and LJ.
You still see no upside with this group??

I'd love to see these 5 in the team next year, more than anything else.
However I struggle to think who would move over for them.
Yeah, who'd be a selector.
Okay, people let's see if someone can come up with a team with
- Nipper
- Chops
- LJ
- Tom (needs a nickname soon)
- Pyke

Here is the team that played the Hawks.......
B: Rhyce Shaw, Ted Richards, Lewis Roberts-Thomson
HB: Martin Mattner, Alex Johnson, Nick Smith
C: Josh P. Kennedy, Adam Goodes, Jarrad McVeigh
HF: Ryan O'Keefe, Sam Reid, Gary Rohan
F: Jesse White, Matt Spangher, Ben McGlynn
Foll: Shane Mumford, Jude Bolton, Kieren Jack
Int: Tadhg Kennelly, Craig Bird, Daniel Hannebery, Luke Parker
As Grundy would have to come back you would need to drop 6.
OK
1.Kennelly
2.Spangher
3.White
4.Bird
5.LRT
6.Parker
and that's still leaving out Jetts and Mal.
I can't see that happening anytime soon Al.
