If that is true and Tom wants to go, then we have to deal with Melbourne in good faith.
There is one player on the Melbourne list that I'm sure the Swans would love to get their hands on:
Tom McDonald - 22 year old, athletic key defender who had developed into a very strong player. He came 3rd in the B and F in 2012.
Melbourne would not give him away easily, and it would cost more than Tom Mitchell to get that deal done. Not sure if Tom would be open to it.
If the Swans could get McDonald our key defensive worries would end.
This is just a proposed deal:
Tom Mitchell and Zak Jones to Melbourne in exchange for Tom McDonald.
That would give Roos one midfielder (Mitchell) and another who would come on well being reunited with his big brother.
The Swans would get their long term key defender.
People will scream that I've given away young midfielders, but we have Heeney, Dunkley and Mills emerging.
