News breaking:
Collingwood to impose a 2 week suspension on midfielder Dane Swan for breaking club curfew.
Nothing to confirm it yet but plenty of rumours floating around that it has happened.
https://twitter.com/Robbo_heraldsun Robbo's last tweet alluding to the suspension of the Collingwood superstar.
I know you'll probably boo me for posting rumours but remember when it officially breaks you heard it here first.
And here it is, officially confirmed http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/magpies-suspend-dane-swan-for-night-out/story-e6frf9jf-1226445007105

Wow. Lucky I don't have him. Pity my opponents don't have him either. This is going to affect a lot of coaches. Big news.
flower!!!!!
He reckons he was only drinking water..obviously Collingwood don't believe him, don't blame them either ::)
Nnnnooooooooooo!!!!
flowerflowerflowerflower.
This.is.amazing.news.
Well, only amazing as I don't have him of course! ;D
about time i didn't have a premium who misses some weeks, opens the bubbly ;D
Will probably keep him though, hopefully can win this week and then get the week off! Fit and firing, prelim and granny match winner!
Stupid pig. Oh well at least I have cover Sylvia, Gibson or Dickson ::)
Cheers for your scoop Gossiboy!
Don't have him and my opponent does, awesome
F@#K, F@#K, F@#K, F@#K, F@#K, F@#K, F@#K, F@#K, F@#K!

man that sux, i ran into 4 out of 5 having him...and me not...first bit of luck all season
you can just imagine him how casual he would be about the suspension.. he gets told "your suspended for 2 weeks", he's be like "cool, whatever".. surprised he's not on twitter about it already..
and of course I have him.. think most of my opponents this week don't have him so he was a POD for me.. i'm in top for all leagues but still think I need to offload him.. Swan > Watson + Porps > Chappy looking mighty tempting... or Swan > Murphy/Boyd > Lake > Waters
There goes my finals campaign! And NONE of my opposing teams have him. You better go big this week Dustbin Martin!
Thank Flower I don't have him :P
Looking at going Swan for selwood or beams?
Have 3 trades.
selwood
Have both in my mids, but id go beams over jelwood
I seriously don't know what to do. Heeeelp!!! Have 2 trades left, playing qualifying finals in all leagues and not one opponent has him. Have cover in Gibson but should i just go for it and get Watson or should i just see how it pans out and hope i scrape through. Other opponents have either Watson or Stanton.

Hold off a week. You have a second chance anyway.
If you win you get the week off and swanny is back for the prelim. If you lose re-asses
what quinny said
3 trades left and no money... I'm thinking of keeping the b@$tard as an ace for the prelim
Sam Darley to Wrigley, Upgrading Taylor Adams to Fyfe, which gives cover for Swan - thoughts?
Would leave 1 trade, 45k and:
Def: Lids, God, Shaw, Adcock, Carazzo, Dempsey, Malceski (Shaw, Wrigley)
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Thommo, Boyd, Watson, Fyfe (Swan, Kennedy)
Ruck: Cox, McEvoy (O, Campbell)
Fwd: Buddy, Danger, Pav, Chappy, Sidey, NRoo, Zorko (Smedts, Couch)
Sitting 1800ish overall, and topping my cash league in total points, but finished 7th - have to win all four from here, and my opponent doesn't have Swan...
I'll miss you Dave. :'(

The problem with that is come to the final 2 rounds (if you make it that far) then you are going to have to bench a premium which is a waste. I would rather Swan-->Jelwood which gives you 50-60k to spend on upgrading Mal or Dempsey if you have spare trades later on in the semi/grand final
