Is Cunningham still a rookie or did we upgrade him last year?

Upgraded last year

[BeeEmmAre]

So, we have Bolton, Mattner and Mitch retiring plus Jesse and Mumford at this stage. That's five out
We have recruited Buddy and want to upgrade Rampe, Brandon Jack and Biggs. We need to use at least three draft pick I think (please correct if wrong).That's seven in.
So assuming we take Perris as one draft pick we will ideally want two first round draft picks from the general talent pool.
So , one player added to the Mummy deal to get the second first round pick and a delisting should do the trick...

Alex Brown is also out, which makes six, while I believe Perris will go on the rookie list as a zone selection, which brings that back to six as well.

As for Mummy, very sad to see him go, but at the end of his career he will regain his status as an All-Time Sydney Swans Premiership Legend.
Could we get #1 for Mummy and #14?

GWS are in deep poop for next year. No player with any ambition will join them. The only players will be the ones chasing the coin. Buddy would have given them cred but he has actually humiliated them. Mummy is a good example and I wish him well - he has climbed the mountain with us, was forced out effectively and has set himself up for life and is being paid overs. And good luck to him too.

Already they are starting to bleed talent with Shiels and Adams.

Best case I can see is Heath Shaw coming up for a final payday, big Mummy and maybe a couple of defenders.

Guess they will definitely be stronger than last year but it's hard to see them waking a huge step. They are close to becoming irrelevant in the Sydney sporting market

Only reason Mummy left was for Coin. He's 27, he will never play in a final again in his career now that he's gone to the scum at the Giants and knows he will finish with a premiership medallion and a bit more coin then he would have got here. Good luck Mummy, because you certainly won't be winning many games for the rest of your career.

You do realise WE forced Mummy to look elsewhere?

Twice contract negotiations were put back by the Swans and it became clear to Mummy and his management that he needed to devise a Plan B in case a contract wasn't forthcoming.

The Buddy news yesterday saw Plan B put into action.

I wish him nothing but good luck, except when playing against us of course...

Good luck to Mummy, and congratulations to GWS for the first smart move they have made in the past 10 years ...even if it was made by default!!!

Mumford will be much better for their team structure and development that Buddy would ever have been! ... now they just need someone smart enough to capitalise on that and get a few more quality players to understand it too.

Buddy was never the right player for GWS (marginally better than Izzy!), but, will be a great fit at the Swans, and they will actually improve him.
