If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

According to twitter an Irish bloke called Bill O'Carrol is training with us. Apparently just over 6 foot. International rookies don't take up normal spots do they so he could be a bonus rookie
I should leave it alone but you're not right
Here's one for those that understand next years draft a bit.
Can we take Tippet in the PSD (I understand he'll nominate terms, so that may be an issue re: tenure), & then trade him to Sydney at next years trade week for their first round selection?
Costs us a bit in salary (could be a problem), might cause disquiet with existing players (could be a major problem), feels kind of dirty (perception could be a problem), he could get concussed (could be a problem) & he has an awful return after round 11 so Sydney (& anyone else may not part with a first round pick).
Those are the negatives as I see them & that alone is enough for me to have NO part whatsoever, but is there anyone that would perhaps consider it if it meant 2 picks in round one in an uncompromised draft in 2013?
85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09, 10... Break the curse!
Not for me CD as the risk of more concussion may well render him valueless.
Yeah, I think we should stay away.
The curse is dead.
In theory we could.
Would be a VERY expensive first round pick though, particularly if the Swans finish up near the top again...pay an extra $1mill in salary for the 18th pick in the draft seems like a high price.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
I think the question should be does he have no interest in coming to Melbourne? We've had 2 good power forwards (that we've recruited under 30 years of age) in the past 30 years and here is one that will only cost a pre season pick. Sure he'll take up cap space but we should be well placed to absorb his salary.
Not sure where we will find a spare million per annum.
