What's Abe Davis like? haven't heard his name around much

One of the better academy talls I think. I've played against him before when I was younger. Can play forward or back so I guess he's a project player.

Seems to suggest we'll pick up all 3 nominated in the Academy picks

yes

The Sydney Swans will gain priority access to three academy prospects in midfielders Isaac Heeney and Jack Hiscox, and mobile tall Abe Davis.

Heeney, perhaps the most complete midfielder in the draft pool, will cost the club its first pick (No.17) with a rival likely to bid an early selection.

You guys have got a steal locked in with Pick 17 in Heeney by the looks of it, I gather it will take a while before he'll break into the team though?

He's a serious talent. Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him crack the seniors at some stage in 2015.

he is a gun and has been tearing it up ion the 2s and championships.

Pretty sure our first 3 picks are already in place for this year with Heaney, abe?? and Dunkley

I couldnt find the link about our first 3 picks but i remember Dunkley will go with 3rd round pick as Heaney and I think Abe (not sure) will go with our first 2 picks via academy

ok so Dunkley is the year after. I was right with Abe but there was a 3rd player that we might take from the academy this year.

We cant stack up on all mids though

I like the look of Jack Hiscox, medium fwd, but crumbs very well, plays more like a small

Yes Hiscox was the third i was thinking of

[Mailman the 2nd]

I think (hope) our 2nd round pick will be kept intact.

Heeney 100% 1st round. Don't think clubs will be willing to put a 2nd round on either Davis/Hiscox so I think we'd get them for 3rd and 4th.

[Capper]

I think we need to decide on what to do with the Rucks and backs. We have Derickx, Naismith and Nankervis to back up Pyke.

Dont see Derickx staying on pass next year.

Hopefully we take a back with our 2nd round

Sydney rookie Patrick Mitchell has informed the club that he will be returning home to America.

A shame, although he was very far off the progression. Not everyone is Mike Pyke  :'(

[Capper]

Yes a fish definitely out of water.

Hiscox looking good. Set new record in 3km trial and 16.1 in the beep

I've played with him, he's crazy fast (like 800m nationals fast)

what happens if Sydney trade their first pick? Do they get to select Heeney with their next pick or because they don't have a first round pick anymore, anyone can pick him up?

the bidding happens prior to trade period I'm pretty sure.

Yep Bidding takes place Monday before trade period starts so can not happen.

So they can't trade that pick and the other 2 picks for the 3 academy players

All F/S and Academy bidding occurs before trade period. Once you commit a pick to a particular player, you cant do anything else with it
