Cheer cheer for LRT and ROK. Both legends of our club.
I definitely want to be there when they do their lap of honour after retiring.

Yes it's looking like we will see a changing of the guard at he end of the year. Likely departures to be ROK, LRT and Goodsey. Lockyer and Walsh might be in danger of losing their positions, that makes five + departures. That will leave some space for a couple of rookie elevations.
with Rampe and Laidler really settling in last year and this year you could argue the Swans maybe reluctant to let Shaw play on in 2015 and 33yrs of age........especially with Macca being able to play on the HBF and or Rohan being groomed on the HBF and Zak Jones looking likely and Harry Cunningham able to play that role also
That frees up $1.85 mill pa approx for season 2015 !
ROK - $400k pa
LRT - $300k pa ?
SHAW - $350k pa ?
GOODES - $600k pa ?
WALSH - $200k pa ?

29. Alir
30. Towers?? they may keep Dean if Rohan becomes a true HBF and Membrey stays otherwise Goodes may stay for one more year on peanuts ??
31. Marsh - still has alot of upside for midfield and can play HBF as well as any emerging players on the list plus we need the depth midfield for 2015
32. Hewitt
33. X
34. AJ
35. Heeney - Draft
36. Draft
37. Draft
38. Draft??
Rookie
39. P.Mitchell
40. A.Davis - Rookie Draft as I dont believe he will go in the draft due to some serious KPPs ahead of him
41. Robinson - only turning 20 this July so another year on the Rookie list could work still
42. Perris
43. J.Steele ?
44. another project player for backline?
"be tough, only when it gets tough"
so gone in 2015 maybe ??
ROK - $400k pa

SHAW - $350k pa ?
GOODES - $600k pa ?
WALSH - $200k pa ?
6. Biggs ?
7. Dick ?
8. Lockyear ?
"be tough, only when it gets tough"
it could be a little unsettling but it has been a strong succession with Macca and Jack Captains
Harry, BJ and Lloyd given game time and looking likely contenders for the 22 in the future
ROK and LRT have not featured much
Goodes missing 8 games or so this season along with Tippett injured alot in 2014
Shaw though being very dominant this season after his first few games
McGlynn becoming a heart and soul player in 2014 and setting the tone in pre season for all to follow
There is still a tonne of leadership in the middle and either end of the field

"be tough, only when it gets tough"
not forgetting we have had some very significant leaders/characters leave the Swans over the last 5 years or so and we have continued to move forward in our stride but fair point 4 significant players in one season could hurt
Jolly
Davis
O'Loughlin
Crouch
Hall
Bradshaw
Kirk
Kennelly
C.Bolton
Jude
Mattner
Mumford
probably not permitted to add White or Barlow to the above list of 12 players

NEAFL Wrap - Practice Match v UWS
great to see Rohan off the HBF and the last few seconds show Swampy Marsh flying off HBF, running 60m and then letting fly one of his excellent kicks on the run for a 50m goal
No reason why Marsh and Rohan could take over from Shaw and Mal in years to come on the HBF
In fact if Rohan puts his mind to it he could knock Laidler right out of the 22 for a back spot and counter like TK !!!
