Swans are linked with just about every player that even had a second thought of moving

Parker isn't going anywhere...

I agree. The money we will throw it him will atleast make him think about it and the Swans will slide over the next few years so I could see him leaving next year


been hearing that for over a decade now



Would that be such a bad thing? Our mob are in almost the same boat. Mid table finish light on for top draft picks. I think I'd rather bottom out a little and get some genuine running power into our team than hang about 3-8 for another five seasons.

Who will go past us?
We are shit, but so is the rest of the teams below us.
If they couldn't get above us this year they never will.

But if you're on the slide (as you were this year, and with aging stars), then there's a good chance Essendon, North, Brisbane (who are all trending upward) could do it, along with Adelaide, Port, WB. Maybe not next year, but 5 years hanging around the same mark still looks a stretch to me without successful drafting and/or recruiting.

Wells has been quite ordinary for nearly a decade now, have a look at your most recent 1st round picks, missed about 6 or 7 in a row, there is your problem
