Ben Hudson.

Lol! That would be hilarious!
Do you know something, or just being absurd?

I don't know why Tippett isn't being mentioned more, if GWS don't take him we have a pick before Sydney does. Maybe he's the 5th player.

Or he costs too much.

Re: Psd

My mail is we've told Lower we'll select him in the PSD, so he'd therefore be on our main list. Lower prefers us over remaining at Freo is what I've been told.

Good mail then.

I'm really happy to get Lower.

Too much for the cap? Or too much as in not worth it?

No talk of a rookie upgrade now so it looks like it's going to be 2 out of these 4 players.

Nick Lower
Matthew Bate
Ben Duscher
Brett Goodes

I think they'll go with the bolded. If Goodes was around 25 - 26 he'd be my first choice.

I think Ben Duscher has a connection to Shannon Grant? If he does he would have a good shot at it also. Nice size, right age and has good disposal.

If we were back in the market to get Kurt Tippett who would we have to give up?

Re: Psd

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

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?

Re: Psd

Not for me CD as the risk of more concussion may well render him valueless.

Re: Psd

Yeah, I think we should stay away.

Smells a little like the Veale deal to me, but I like your creativity.

Re: Psd

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.

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.

Re: Psd

Not sure where we will find a spare million per annum.

We're probably struggling to hit minimum salary cap expenditure!
