Im surprised we got a R2, thought it might be a R3 for Esky

Classic. Bloody AFL love Sydney its ridiculous. Special treatment galore.

:P

God forbid the best defender in the afl gets adequate compensation!

i wouldnt say best defender, he got alot of ball as no one was with him

[Mailman the 2nd]

I'd say its a fair statement.

Of all the defender roles, he's further ahead than anyone else.

Key Backs there are 5-6 who you can throw a blanket around.

Offensive Backs it goes Malceski then Smith and Hibberd are a bit behind and then a decent gap after

[elephants]

Best rebounder all season, best defender? Debatable.

I am not arguing one way or the other, but if you say the best defender of the year comes from the back 6 from the AA Team, you could mount a pretty reasonable argument that Eski had the best year of them all.

Hooker, Talia, N.Smith

Eski, Rance, B.Smith

best decision the club has ever made.... sorry but plough would never had led to 05,06

I am concerned by one thing I read today regarding salary space which means we will also lose Biggs for nothing since we apparently dont have the cash to upgrade him to the main list? While he is a long way behind others in the midfield side of things, seems a shame we are getting rid of this talent. Lamb, Membrey, and probably Biggs for nothing at all because we dont have room to negotiate.

[Toga]

I heard a couple of weeks back that Biggs was requesting a trade... But haven't heard anything since... What's the deal there?

Is he on the rookie list and needing to be upgraded, but you don't have the space? So what happens?

I didnt hear he was asking to trade, but that others were knocking and looking.

He is a rookie and has been rookie for 3years I think. Too long that we cant simply leave him on the rookie list. Hasnt been delisted as yet and no trade, so i assume if we cant upgrade he will get delisted along with Membrey and go somewhere in the PSD.

Would be a great pickup IMO for most clubs.

Yeah I'm not sure if that's just a rumour or what, but that's what I heard somewhere. Agree that there would be a few clubs interested in him if he went to the PSD

So X is already on the seniors list and i think Lloyd is as well. Surely if Membrey goes we have the room? Doubt he will be there for the Swans to re-pick him

Would rather de-list Derickx than Biggs

If i can find it I will post it, but saw an article saying they have committed to upgrading X and Lloyd. No mention of Biggs.

The mention of Biggs was that we couldnt afford to upgrade him, but that didnt make sense to me looking simply at the in/outs
