I think it was a thought experiment only because we are the 2 worst performing clubs with long serving coaches. Both might need to freshen things up.
Longmire has been at the Swans since 2003!

Monday is the deadline for clubs to free up spots to take part in the mid season draft. The picking order is as always ladder reverse so we are nicely placed at present to have a top pick if we choose to participate, Tippett and Maibaum gives us two picks.
I'd be happy with that. Both the Scotts are better coaches under the current style.

That's because they're all from Victoria and want to go home. This is why the clubs in non-AFL locations need a retention allowance (ie COLA).
Two words - Stephen Coniglio.
He's from Perth (as is Jaeger O'Meara). I think getting to play at the MCG in front of 90,000 during the H&A season is another big draw for players who are playing in front of 15-20k at Metricon / Gabba / Spotless.
It did work in our favour with Buddy. Some players do want to get away from that sort of attention.
I’m wondering our options Re trading and picks?
We will have st kildas 2nd round pick that could be in the range of pick 20-28
Plus we will have a top8 pick most likely and another second round pick which may provide a chance to go hard for a key player who can’t be matched for $ and wants to stay in Sydney or move here ? Plus potentially do a hawthorn and use a first round or second round pick for the next year ?
Money freeing up ?
Macca
Grundy
Jack
Reid ?
Smith will stay on a smaller contract is my guess with his age and injury and speed slowing not great timing for him ......plus young guys getting some game time in 2019 but smithy at his best is important
Clarke and Thurlow I wonder if they signed for one year or two ?
Menzel - only one year but if injury free he is important
Not quite right, I posted a couple of pages back, we currently have
Pick 3, our first
pick 35, St.Kilda second, should go higher as they are currently 2nd which is hard to see them maintaining
pick 39, our third
pick 47, WCE third, could drift as they should finish better than 8th
pick 57, our fourth
pick 58, Carlton 4th
Agreed. Midfielders are our priority for the next draft.
