If we were to chase a FA big fish, who or what type of player is our most pressing need?

I can't see us getting Josh Kelly. Why would he leave the Giants and stay in Sydney? The Giants have clearly prioritised retaining him when they decided to let Shiel, Scully, Smith, Setterfield etc go. That said they still have a lot of talent on their list and potentially have to pay overs to retain them because they don't have all the advantages that many others clubs have to offer so maybe they won't be able to afford to keep up. I imagine Kelly wouldn't switch unless there was a big $$ difference (or other factors that we don't know about).
Angus Brayshaw seriously underrated player, still pretty young
Elliott Yeo
Patrick Cripps
Maybe a Buddy in waiting like Hipwood or Daniher!
Luke Parker does a piece confirming that “I love it in Sydney” and "I was never leaving, I absolutely love the club”
If like me you live on a grassy knoll, this piece is itself suspicious. But happy to take it at face value for now.

I just don't think a captain of the Swans would ever come out and say that he was frustrated after another disappointing finals exit, has concerns about our gameplan etc, which is what the rumours were... This could be 100% true or a bit of a PR exercise to silence the doubters, and I think it would be hard to tell the difference.
Given that we have had a player retire due to injury but have to leave him on our list, can we replace him as the Hawks can do with Mitchell? I know this is a new rule and I suspect that we can't as KT retired last year but I was just curious.
