    Free agency, means they are free to leave. No trade done.

    So which person would knock back a mega deal if offered because of supporters. Did Paul Roos consider that when he left to come to the Swans.

    Crouch didn't miss games till near the end either.

    Can't see Goodes leaving Sydney anyway. GWS perhaps? Them $3:90 chips are very enticing.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    I think Roos considered the fact that his club was quickly dying when he left.

    Goodes would have to be traded because he is under contract. Yr only a free agent if yr not signed

    Goodes wouldn't take money to go anywhere else he is a captain of a footy club to do that would be disgusting and would ruin his reputation within the footy community. Goodes is a blood through and through and any captain that would leave his club for any amount of money should be treated like an outcast. Even if goodes wasn't the captain he would never leave there will be a statue of him outside the scg in 20 years. One of the best players to ever put on the swans uniform if not the best(sorry Skilton).

    It's ridiculous to suggest the Swans or Goodes would consider parting ways. One of the dumbest things said on this board all things considered.

    On the topic of Cloke, it would be naive to think the Swans haven't expressed some interest. We are a key forward away from seriously contending for the premiership. This current group of players hasn't got much more time together, so if we wanted a tilt we need to be aggressive this trade period.

    Nevertheless, I don't think Cloke is coming our way. The Pies are under some pressure though so players like Sidebottom and Reid who have yet to sign may be squeezed out. Interesting to see the fallout at Collingwood.

    I think the pies have to come to grips with the idea of losing a couple of higher paid players, it happens when u win a flag or have sustained success for a few years. There are probably others unsigned who may be deemed less important and offered up for trade at years end
