Agree about Membrey and Roberton. But I think Lyons was genuinely delisted and picked up with glee by Brisbane.

With all these delistings could Gulden drift out in the trade order. That is clubs taking proven players early, at say late first round and second round to bulk up experience.
The reality is we're not going to get ourselves a Grundy, Gawn, Goldie or NicNat. I'd be happy with someone tall and big enough to compete in the ruck and mobile enough to get around the ground to compete and support our mids. Who that is (and available) I have no idea.
It's amazing what you can learn from these journalistic stunners. You have to scroll down to the last entry, then this:
Tom Derickx (2013)
Delisted by: Richmond
Picked up by: Sydney
After two games in three years at Tigerland, the inexperienced ruckman was snapped up by the Swans. Had a decent first year in the Harbour City after sitting out the first round, playing 12 matches in a row. But was dropped and then knee and hamstring injuries denied him any chance of featuring in the 2014 finals series. Managed just one more game in his final two years with the Swans as Sam Naismith, Toby Nankervis and Callum Sinclair all leapfrogged him in the ruck pecking order. Retired early last month.
Tom Derickx comes through again, by retiring early for the 2nd time, thus opening another spot on our list and perhaps saving the career of young player who was headed for the delisting.
I thought I should add the pic, just so we don't forget the famous #19.
*Just realised that Tom was listed with the MISSES. Who would have thought.

Saints at 9 wins and coming 7th
Reiwoldt bullish in his commentary that recruiting via quality trades is the smart option
i wondered how many of the below 10 or so traded in players at the Saints would be in our current best 22? is the Saints strategy of trading year after year working?

"be tough, only when it gets tough"
Jordan Roughead Dogs to Pies? Matt DeBoar Freo to GWS? Collins Freo to VFL to Suns?
But the strike rate is very low. Can't think of any Swans that have gone elsewhere to be regulars.
Players who are cut by sides are rated in the late 30s, highly unlikely that a well tried player rated there by their current club will improve by half a list to become a regular 22 somewhere else
