With the retirement of Mattner and now Morton the Swans still have to make a minimum of 2 list changes before next year.

What are your thoughts on other changes that will be made.

Capper

IMO, Bolton is at 50/50 to retire, he is playing some good footy, even though its a slightly changed role.

LRT is a worry as he still cant get his knee right and will be going into his 12 season next year

Jesse White and Shane Mumford come of contact at the end of the season and will be chased by other teams.

I think Mumford will go to GWS as the Swans will try for someone else (or play Pyke and Tippett as the rucks)

Jesse White is an interesting one. Struggled to make the best 22 but has nade it his own since Goodes and Morton were injured. Freo, Carlton and many other teams are chasing him but i hope the Swans keep him as a replacement for Goodes.

Goodes will play next year but it will be his last.

Not sure who will be going, but would love to see us chase Dusty Martin.

Really think we would let Mummy go? I cant see it myself. But if we did, Mummy and our first round pick for Boyd

I hope they dont let mummy go but the Swans no dickhead policy might not let Mummy play next year with all of his shananigans

we are in a pretty good spot though. our midfield depth is possibly the best in the comp. We could afford to trade a player ir two with some real currency and secure either an upgraded pick or another player.

Players like. Jetta, Lamb, Cunners(maybe) would all have good value on the open market, but are losses we would cover. Same goes with non mids like Mummy, White, Membrey even Johnson

Part of me hopes Bolton and LRT retire to free up some room for others. Been loyal servants but I think their time may be up.

As for Mummy, PLEASE DON'T GET RID OF HIM. When he's fit he's one of the best rucks in the league.

Hopefully will lift and get himself a new contract

He's still pretty young I believe? It is possible the new rules have affected him? Either way Mummy will be a great servant for years yet!

Capper

He is 27 and if i was GWS i would be opening the checkbook and uping what ever the Swans offer him. I hope he stays on though, the amount of off the ball work he does is unbelivable

Think you should send JPK back to the Hawks. He is getting lost in your midfield depth :P

If you had anyone of value to trade back they might!  8)
