2027 List Management

@@@@ that

He has 5yrs to run, All Oz player

There were 3x 1sts on offer for Merrett last year at 30yrs old

Any deal needs to break all the records

Tell whoever to get us Sam Taylor or Weitering or @@@@ off

Agreed, any offer would need to be pretty dam earth shattering, I would want a player (highly rated one) and a pick inside 10 for a start or if no player forth coming 3 first round picks with 2 in the top 10 - and even then I still wouldn't be that happy about it.

Really disappointing that a guy (Blakey) goes out all night, drinking and whatever, 2 weeks out from finals.
Then because he was caught and subsequently banned, he then dumps on the club who have supported and nurtured him since he was a little boy.
Runaway,runaway.....Shows really poor character. I say trade him this year before compromised draft years.
Though it needs to be either 2 high first rounders, or a top 10 first rounder and a quality player..No first rounders from the compromised drafts (2027/28) please.
They'll be basically 2nd rounders.

One hundred percent.

This ain’t happening.

Think about what it’d take from clubs named so far (how legitimate their interest is versus his manager pumping it up is another story).

Geelong - wanna give up Holmes or O’Sullivan? Nope. And nor should they, so we can forget that.

The Saints - hey, how’s Nasiah doing? Maybe Wilkie and pick 8. Didn’t think so either.

The Bombers - lolz. And don’t get me started on pick 1. There’s only one generational player in this years draft and he’s taken.

Who else? Norf … I honestly can’t name a player I’d swap. Wardlaw is awesome but injury and concussion prone. And the new coach ain’t giving up the young guns he inherited anyway.

Saw someone float Melb with picks 6&10. Again, we want players.

Nick just better reconcile himself with coming back to the Swans.

Caught up with Glenelg key defender Harry Franz.

Had a chat with him about his season, leadership, and what he's been working on heading into the draft. Really interesting player with plenty of upside. COuld be great key position value late draft.

swans say (according to tom morris ) they want a top 15 pick, Catss, nth,ess, gc appear interested. Surely we need more than that, @ people (Montana and VossI) say at least 2 voss says 3.
its get over it Nic or else.

I hope we hold firm with Blakey and this all blows over. He is irreplaceable and important piece to our flag aspirations. Rival clubs are getting stronger with who they have or likely to trade in.

We don't appear to be in a position to do similar as the pending police findings has tied our hands in managing our list for the short term. The best outcome is for the Pullman 4 to be all cleared and ALL playing next year.

Losing Blakey even for 3 x 1st rounders won't cut it, as it won't help our flag chances next year which could be our last best chance if Warner also decides to leave as FA.

Blakey plays another 12 months and he may hopefully settle back ok in that time. If not, we still be in a good bargaining position. The only down side as that it will be a compromised Tassie draft.

The reports of Geelong being in front of the queue makes me spew up!
