Talking trades

Just saw on my local news that the dogs have offered collingwood their 2nd round pick for Dawes.

I hope not.

Which would be pick 27. Also hope not. We haven't got a very good 2nd-club-forward recruit track record.

Edit: sorry for double post

Please no. If we don't get Martin & end up with Dawes I will need therapy.

Why would you keep Panos and trade in Dawes?

Alan Jackovich, Kingsley Hunter, Simon Minton-Connell, Aaron James, James Cook. Straight off the top of my head and there is a lot more.

Why do most people on here dislike Dawes?

Because he isn't very good. Automatically Collingwood players are overated. He struggled with a better side with better delivery and a better midfield.
He'll get the best backman in our side.

That might be the whole point. Let's Jones etc get a weaker opponent. Trade season is full of crazy rumors anyway so who knows.

I find this strange also..

I think people just heard all the flack he was copping this year (which he deserved) and have completely wrote him off.

Dawes was sensational last year. This year he lacked confidence, however a new start could be just what he needs.

Great tank, can play the second ruck role and has proven he is a very handy forward when on song.

Anyone comparing him to Panos needs to seriously wake up.

I would be happy to pick him up for the right price.

Sensational? Really?? Not just pretty good?

Couldn't we get a similar forward from the state leagues without giving up our 2nd round pick if it's just to protect Jones?

In your scenario Jones most likely would still get the number one key defender.

Swans maybe looking at off loading Jesse White to make room for Tippett in it's cap. Is he worth a look 197cm and 107 kg. Could he be a better and cheaper prospect than Dawes and he the same age I think.

Jones, Cordy, Minson, Roughead and White. How do you envisage we can play them all in the same side?

I suppose you can't but were do people place Dawes. BTW I'm not interested in Dawes or recruiting another tall option from another club. White is listed as a forward that has had to include ruck duties in his role at the Swans.
