2027 List Management

[The Big Cat]

My view is hold firm. We stared down Papley and ROK and both decisions turned out to be winners for the club.

[BRS328]

The situation is somewhat different in as much both Papley and ROK were well respected members of the team and for good reason. I am not sure that is the case with Nick Blakey. Those within the club will have a better understanding of this and I will be guided by their decision.
I personally, without all the facts, will support, will support the decision, as they are best placed to know what is best for the club in the long term

Norf supporters online are claiming they should march him to the preseason draft. They really aren’t that bright.

SEN reporting Sydney are demanding two first round picks plus Curtis.

Would be a good get, but I have read that personal reasons would preclude him from moving interstate, I guess its probably a tactic we are using to secure the best deal possible

[Velour&Ruffles]

If they offer us Sheezel plus Curtis I would take that deal (in a heartbeat)

[lwjoyner]

would we take nths pick 6 and their ist rounder for 2027 (ours in blues hand) plus Dekoning from Cats . Up to Nth to cats to do that deal. Maybe we could give cats our second round pick for 2027 which was involved in Curnow deal.

Thanks Stevo " auto correct "

I care as much about your opinion as you do mine

On the contrary, I look forward to and enjoy reading your posts.....as more evidence of my theory that the human race is devolving.

However, on the subject of 'should we trade Blakey', I have agreed with all your posts......so it's not all bad.

OMG, that is truly hilarious.

Swans looking to take on Zac Williams from as a Cat 2 signing as an indigenous rule in place - cant say I hate it, some depth If we do let Blakey go

We have to target a KPD, if Blakey wants out this is our only real chance.

I like Curtis but you cant lose, Blakey, Mills and Rampe and bring in a fwd

Make them wait a year, 4yrs on his deal next year is still huge leverage.

Plus Warner maybe going will net us all the picks in the world if we want them

Norf now apparently offering pick 6, plus 2027 second rounder and 2028 first rounder. Which means pick 6, plus pick 40-something (given the compromised draft) and pick 20-something (again, compromised draft). In both subsequent years, the best players have been pre-nominated a year ahead, Tassie has an abundance of draft picks and next year at least, I'm sure I read there are about 9 or 10 players either Academy or F-S tied.

Norf really can go proverbial themselves. They've promised the world to Blakey. They can deliver the world to us.

Zero interest in the draft, poor history and so compromised, not even going into the fact that the majority of picks are a 3yr+ burn until we see any value, if of course they dont want to go home.

I just hope we have listed 4 CHBs across the comp we are interested in and told North to go sort that out. They can dangle those picks at them.


Very nervous we are about to get screwed or accept lower.

We got fleeced for Curnow, offered him less money and did a sweetheart deal for Ollie, clearly no regrets but rightfully so we were made to pay up

[SwanSand]

Any interest in Sam de koning or knowledge of Ollie Murphy - untried (delisted by Fremantle)

[lwjoyner]

its got to be 2027 first rounder in addition to this years pick 6. plus something else. brad johnson has suggested that nth look at sam dekoning from casts who is apparentlty being shopped around. so tjats where a 3 way deal might be avaailable our secon round this year or next and the pick nth get for duursma from demons this year. maybe a close replacement on our backline for nic. a p/ship player as well./
