2017 trading, drafting, list management

Would love the Swans to come out and say

"yeah, we stuffed up. We thought we had a few more years in the arbitrarily allotted trade ban time"

or

"we are really surprised that the AFL didn't find a way to ban us from the draft, we were sure they would have found some new way to get this to happen"

or

"Mike Fitzpatrick has been stalking us. We're pretty nervous to make a trade for fear of what will come back to us"

I hope this is still in play with the Stringer deal not through yet

When was the last time Swans did no trades during trade �week�?

Probably a couple of years ago, when the AFL banned us from trading...

We still did a "swap" for Jetta vs Sinkers. Looks like me might be able to some pick swaps in our favour?

Not sure I like the Murray trade.
Never have seen him play but various reports suggest he can either run fast or kick well - although possibly not both - and these are attributes we could do with.

Personally, trade week is a time when I want to trade in everyone and retain everyone, even though it's not the right thing to do. But yes a quick player who kicks well would seem to be someone we could do with. Presumably the Swans will let him go because it would be unfair to deny him the opportunity to play at AFL level, which I respect.
