Much of what was discussed on here has been summarised in this article by Adam Curley on the AFL website: Status quo for Swans, but 2019 raid looms - AFL.com.au
Should I be upset that Adam Curley is plagiarizing my material or should I let people believe that Adam Curley is a nom de plume for Ludwig? Heres'a a sentence from the article:
In players like Isaac Heeney (22 years old), Callum Mills (21), George Hewett (22), Aliir (24), Will Hayward (19), Zak Jones (23), Tom McCartin (18), Oliver Florent (20), Lewis Melican (21), Tom Papley (22), Ben Ronke (20), Matthew Ling (19) and Ryley Stoddart (19), the Swans have a group of players under 25 capable of forming the core of Longmire's team for the next decade.
I like Adam Curley, so it's okay, but Damian Barrett can write his own Scheiße,
I thought our trade period was a bit underwhelming but nevertheless happy with us bringing in Thurlow & Clarke for late picks. I have faith they'll blossom into better players & opportunities under our system.
I remember posting before the trade period that we could be freeing cap space as a strategy to afford retaining our young & upcoming stars as they advance, rather than landing a big fish. Not to be caught out again losing a player like Mitchell cause of cap squeeze. Harley did state before & after the trade period the club's primary focus was in retaining required talent, which they've achieved with the re-signings. Wouldn't surprise me if we follow the same strategy next year, but it will largely depend how we fare next season.

It amazes me how little the "experts" all based in Melb know about most teams outside Victoria. Listening to these "experts" all the last 10 days, it really reinforced that. Wallace and company, all have Swans in bottom half in 2019 because we didnt get any big fish. I totally agree with Eagles Simpson that AFL is too Melbourne biased including the draw, the sadly misinformed media dominated, even Fox Footy AFL 360. Why is it that Robinson's paper and Whatley's SEN are the only media quoted? We all know there are quality media around Australia who would add quality comments to a dedicated footy channel for all Australia. I hope Simpson talks to all the non Victorian club coaches to add to his discussion with AFL Commission. Otherwise its just Eddie's thoughts that count ha ha
Given that BF's contract was widely reported to be heavily back ended when he signed it - why would anyone imagine the Swans would be doing anything other than shedding players (let alone landing a big fish) in this or any future trade period until said contract has been completed?
