    Adelaide take Siggins with their first pick. There had been a suggestion the Swans were interested in him. Maybe were about to pick him...

    And we've finished for the night.

    Dick sounds like another 3rd defender / HBFer type.

    Club is obivously reasonably OK with its inside stocks. All the players picked tonight seem to be tallish, quickish flanker types, whether in defence, on the wing or up forward.

    Someone was granted their wish in the Redandwhiters! Who called for Matthew Dick! Jude will be happy, another Calder Cannon.

    Question Time?

    How come Tim Membry slipped through to the keepers at pick 46? Anyone? Especially as their was some real deliberation going on for other clubs picks.

    Also I would like to note: the Swans appear to be making contingency plans for life without Tippett......discuss.

    if Membrey was 192cm plus he would have been taken in a heart beat in the first rd

    at 189cm he is an in between height me thinks for a top of the goal square type player

    lets see as he saids if he can become that lead, lead, lead again third tall !

    Darling who he refers to is more like 191cm plus from memory

    but who knows.......Membrey could grow taller ?

    Common thread this draft seems to be speed.

    And 189cm, with the exception of Matthew Dick (who's 188cm but probably still growing).
    To all those people who waited 72 years to see a South Melbourne/Sydney Swans premiership HERE IT IS!!

    BTW very happy with our selections....some serious rebounding, speedy mid size players that will be very adaptable in possies and development !

    It also makes me think we have great confidence in some of our developing talls

    AJ becoming a genuine KP defender and taking over a teddy type role in the future

    Tommy Walsh may also be a real option for the backline as a KP defender in the future also

    If they could help LRT make the grade why not Tommy !

    Maybe Lockyear can also become the third tall in the future ie AJ's current role



    Towers was a smart addition given Rohans injury woes

    He could be shrinking...
