2020 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[Ludwig]

Tigers have cut Derek Eggmolesse-Smith who I thought looked very handy and picked up Brownlow votes when he played.

Excellent kick. Would be a handy recruit for some clubs. I would take him for the Swans, but only if he makes a couple minor adjustments to his name, changing it to Derickx Eggmolest.

But surely this would’ve been done in the trade period wouldn’t it? Unless the swans railroaded him and gave him no intention they weren’t planning to re-sign him.

You are probably right. I’m just trying to make some sense of the chaos. I’m not succeeding.

Different clubs seem to be using different language around “delisting”. SEN reporting “The Bulldogs have delisted Ben Cavarra, Will Hayes and Roarke Smith, though the club may re-draft all three.”

Lions, Giants, Dogs and Saints add to list changes

Knowing the Swans they are letting the Fox explore his options to see if he can find a primary list spot, but will (ref Barracuda) take him on if no one else does!

I thought this was an odd deal, considering it involved a pick that Adelaide won't be using:



The only thing I could think of to justify this trade is to get 32 extra points for a pick swap with the Swans, trading our pick 34 for Adelaide's picks 40, 56 and 63. Let's see what happens here. Also, Adelaide is the only club at this point we could swap picks with that would make sense to both clubs (there could be other pick swaps that change things).


Jackson Trengove wouldn't be the worst choice for the Swans, if we wanted to add depth to our defence and back up ruck stocks. Would certainly obviate the need to draft a key defender like DGB. He brings the experience we lack in tall defenders and gives the younger prospects time to develop. Nonetheless, I don't see it happening. It runs counter to our youth movement, although we did make an exception with Hickey.


As much as cutting Fox looks to be a mistake, I feel dropping Stoddart is an even greater mistake. If I could take only one back on our list, it would be Stoddart.

Don't like Stoddart. I thought he was a lightweight compared to say McInerney. The Swans were right to cut him.

As to the Adelaide pick swap, I hope you are right

As much as I liked the fellow taswegian Fox I think he played this year because the club thought for whatever reason Gould was not quite ready . I can’t see Fox and Gould playing in the same team together going forward . If Gould doesn’t play next year we take the risk of losing him for more opportunities. As much as it stings If we are to take any steps forward Fox would need to become a depth player at best .

Here's one more article on COR and how much playing for Tipperary meant to him. Charlie Gardiner adds some nice words too.

Totally but he was a depth player anyway before this year, and proved a more than solid option this season . If Gould isn’t up to it round 1, or gets injured, would be nice to have some depth. Something the swans aren’t flush with, other than in the small forward position ( quantity not necessarily quality )

I was going to say Jackson Trengove is your new Tom Derickx.

Lovely article. Thanks for the heads-up on this one, Mark26.

Wow. Ronke over Fox. At a risk of being in the firing line for being negative, WTAF is that !
