What about Heriter Lumumba from Collingwood?
He looks like he would value a fresh start, looks like he would appreciate the quiet life of Sydney, and he is an excellent medium/tall backman.
I'm not sure how much money he is worth, but he strikes me as a guy who could fit well into the Swans system and he would like the lifestyle in Sydney.
I don't see Jetts as being overrated at all. He was struck down with injury in 2013 and his delivery was sadly missed. He can swivel, look and then deliver a 50m pass onto a player's chest. That is brilliance and he is also sensational when in full flight. He will be great for us this year.
I totally agree. Jetts is one of the most exciting players in the AFL. It would be sad to lose him. I also agree that last year's early form was due to the shin splints injury. He seemed in pain and every effort seemed to hurt. So forget 2013 and look to 2014 and Jetts and Gazza being the mean speed machines.

Quite frankly I don't think we need any recycled players. I think we would be better drafting a couple of young defenders not buying old as we don't need them yet. We need to develop them for the future. The future looks like being tall so we need to go tall and mobile/fast.
Only players we will be recruiting in the next few years will be cheap ones!
Very important to lock in those you already have rather than chasing new ones and our cap will be at it's max until we have a few retirees.
Remember that the Melbourne squad was paid almost as much as the other squads last year despite being a heap of spuds so some of them are on decent coin and Frawley would be one of them. Frawley therefore won't to be going anywhere for more money, just moving to play in a good side for similar money - money we don't have :-(
