Changes to the Swans for next year

[Mailman the 2nd]

I can't see any depth issues there with the draft picks we have

Well done to local boys @brandonjack33 and @Danerampe who will be upgraded to the @sydneyswans primary list at next month's AFL Draft

So that makes it Jake Lloyd, Sam Naismith, Daniel Robinson, Xavier Richards and Shane Biggs on Rookie list.

So only 2 rookie picks if ROK goes to Vets, if he doesnt then 3 rookie picks.

Looks like we will be using our first 5 picks followed by Bjack and Rampe elevated on picks 6 and 7

We'll definitely select a recycled ruckman in either the National or preseason draft not sure who though

[SydneyRox]

Have to wait and see if there are any other delistings next week

Darren Jolly springs to mind...

If the Tiges delist Tom Derickx, I wonder if you'll pick him up after Mitch Morton's heroics.  :P

Never said he would.

Simply through up Jolly's name for the simple fact that he's one of the available rucks out there...

I'm pretty terrible at draft analysis but looks like everyone thinks we'll be taking Billy Hartung at #15.

What's the wraps on him? Wasn't he the one who did really well at the endurance beep test?

yeah, think he was the record at this year's combine - 16.6 from memory!  :o

Surely there must some weaknesses in other parts of his game. Endurance is a massive part of the modern game. No Pluggers anymore  ;)

he is small, 183cm i think, which is what most people hold against him. apparantly an elite kick. he fits the bill for us in the outside run area, which while we seem to have a lot, rohan, jetta, cunners etc, we have struggled to get them on the park together
