    Tom Harley was on SEN yesterday covering various topics without revealing anything we don't already know. When asked about Heeney coming into RFA, Tom said he was geninuely optimistic new contract will be agreed to without giving anythng away. I don't recall him saying if negotiations had started.

    I cannot see him leaving unless there is a huge salary gap between our offer and that of some other club. He is already on big coin. McDonald is a bigger flight risk so I hope they are working hard on that one behind the scenes.

    No doubt North Melbourne will get another stupid offer thrown Heeney's way, as they throw crazy coin towards most free agents. Just another chance for them to be rejected.

    Our bigger risk probably is if a club currently in contention see him as a viable option and able to offer something a little more coin wise.

    Still think its massively unlikely - but you never know.

    I think the first massive offer to Heeney by North Melbourne was made while James Brayshaw was president and Brayshaw loves Heeney as a player. When Brayshaw commentates he’s always praising Heeney. What I admire about Brayshaw is despite not landing Heeney with the most generous of offers his administration and enthusiasm for Heeney has never subsided.

    Lachie Neale wasn't a Perth local and he moved in large part because of his close friendship since boyhood with Lincoln McCarthy, who had arrived at Brisbane after six or so seasons at the Cats

    I doubt any academy product of ours would be lured away, unless the $ offered were stupidly above ours. I'd reckon that would never be the case, we'll offer sensible sized contracts. All of our academy players seem to flow red and white blood :-)

    I think the days of Norf offering anybody and everybody massive amounts are over. They lured a couple of small fish but now seem to be well into a rebuild via the draft.

    On the AFL website they have this years 2022 NAB AFL Academy players listed. Only one Swans player and I'm not sure I've seen his name mentioned in these parts previously -

    Lachlan Cabor, New South Sales/Shellharbour/Sydney Swans Academy

    Anyone know anything about him?

    Yes is an under 17 age player - good player who reads game well , not scared to take on players. Saw him play early last year as un under ager in the 17s swans v giants games and he clearly stood out as a class player.

    So Naismith has been moved to the inactive list. I wonder if they've done this now to allow them to sign someone via the SPP before it closes. That doesn't seem especially likely, but the timing is interesting.

    Well spotted Liz.

    Naismith is currently out of contract at end of 2022, I think, which means we've likely and sadly seen the last of the big lug. Such a shame, as he could certainly play.
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say
