draft order as at 3pm - 26th Oct 2012

hi annie

i wasnt saying they could replace goods as far as quality............i was simply comparing who may takeover a role unless we trade or recruit etc

[swansrob]

so the starting team in 2013 probably reveals the types of players we might be recruiting as the guys in RED are primarily 29,30,31,32 or 33 yrs of age......we either feel we have ready made players in our ranks as I have hazarded a guess at or we will need more players from the outside to help fill the voids !

McGlynn, LRT, Pyke
Jude, Reid, Goodes

Mummy
Kennedy
Jack
Jetts
Macca
ROK

Mal, Grundy, Shaw
Smithy, Ted, AJ

Bench:

Bird, Parker, Morton, Hannes, Mattner, Rohan


So you would think the ready made replacements could be:

Jude = Mitchell
Shaw = Armstrong, Alex Brown or Cunningham ie Reece was no bigger then Cunningham in his early years.......as mentioned maybe Rohan could do this role?
ROK = Parker
Goodes = Andrejs, Walsh or White ........but only half as good if you are lucky hence us chasing Tippett as a KP forward
Mattner = Lockyear?
Ted = AJ
LRT = Walsh or a Starling
Mal = Lamb only if we have a stack of midfielders and or we are struggling


So season 2015 line could look like the following not including Starling or other drafted or traded players

McGlynn, White?, Pyke
Parker, Reid, Rohan

Mummy
Kennedy
Hannes
Jetts
Jack
Macca

Armstrong, Grundy, Brown
Smithy, AJ, Lockyear

Bench: Mitchell, Morton, Lamb, Andrejs, Cunningham, Walsh

Why on earth are you speculating on the 2015 line up before our 2013 list is finalised?

Yeh, a bloody lot of list building at the Swans to happen over the next six weeks after that massive purge!

Might start a new thread, hmmmmm ...........................

We are not the only team with big cleanouts. Much bigger names have gone from other clubs than the one's the swans have dropped.

Yep, the Pies have cleared more from their list than we have, though they did get a couple of players in via free agency.
