A trade for Seaby

[BSA5]

Anyone noticed that Seaby hasn't even been mentioned lately? No news articles, no interviews on the site, no mentions from the coaches or players. He isn't just being overlooked for selection, he's being totally ignored. Do you think he may have told the coaches he wants to go to GWS?

[Velour&Ruffles]

Keep Seaby.

The fact Pyke has been brought in as the emergency just a few weeks after returning from injury (while Seaby has been up and about playing well in the 2's for the last few months) I think proves that Pyke is well and truly the preferred option in terms of the 2nd ruck/forward option.

Mummy's rapid development and massive impact on games has made Seaby unnecessary on our list really. I really feel for him, he's still more than capable of being a number one ruck at an AFL club. But he's just not mobile enough to be that 2nd ruck/forward option while Pyke's athleticism and pace makes him perfect for it.

I really hope Seaby gets to a club that needs a number one ruck. Richmond would be perfect for him but they seem to be set on Maric from Adelaide. GWS has Giles and maybe Brogan now so they won't need him. Port look like they're going after a young ruck in the draft but they could be the option for him. The Bulldogs might go after a hardened ruckman with Hudson gone. They do have Cordy and Roughead on their books though so maybe not. The Dogs do seem to go after our cast offs quite a bit though.

Where are The Buggles to write a song about it.

" I remember when we traded back for you. You came from West Coast and Mummy did a job on you. Warming the ressies bench is all that you can do. Whoa, Whoa........You were our first ruck, now you're our last ruck."

Back to work...................

Thanks for that. Now I will have the tune all day! Good stuff though...

. I think Mummy has killed Seaby's career.

Seaby Bevan and Moore to GWS this year? Exactly what they need, though would have to go through trades to make it happen. No way GWS would pick up an uncontracted swans player this year with Reid available next year.

Good idea. Develop Pyke into a potentially very good big man then trade him. Two weeks later Currie is injured again and we can start looking for our next one. I think Mummy has killed Seaby's career.

BTW Pyke is listed as a finals emergency this week. That shows how the club regards the ruck hierarchy no matter what the RWO ABP (Anyone But Pyke) brigade feel about it. It'd be brave to bring him in for this year's finals but I'm looking forward to Myke having his breakout season in 2012.

Agree. And if we had to bring him in, he might not do what Mummy can but I don't think he'd let us down.

Most definitley, nothing against Pyke but I would be inclined to put Currie ahead of him so if anyone is to be traded then I would shop around Pyke.

Over my dead body. No way known is some other side going to reap the rewards of the Swans and Pykeys hard work in developing his game. The improvement in him since he first touched an AFL footy is one of the more amazing things I've seen in footy. Also someone of his size and speed don't grow on trees. I've watched plenty of the reserves and plenty of Currie and i'm still not convinced he's going to make an AFL footballer.

He's too good to be playing reserves every week, but I would be sad to see him go. People seem to forget that he was actually ahead of Mumford at the start of 2010 and was playing exceptionally well before he broke his ankle against Brisbane in about round 5. He has been very good for us in the games he has played in 2011 aswell, and if it wasn't for the new sub rule he would still be in the side.

Clearly a better overall player than Pyke, and I would be worried if we lost Seaby and Pyke became our 2nd ruckman.

If Maric goes to Richmond they probably won't need Seaby and Port are saying they're not so keen for another top-flight ruckman given the progress of Lobbe, so not a bad call.,

On the other hand, if Brogan ends up at the Giants they may not need Seabs as well.

The Brogan deal is one year playing and then go into coaching. There would be a spot for Seaby.
