TOPIC:

Payne????

Mid fielders, key forward and a ruckman.
Even if Doc comes back to play he wants to be a surgeon so won't play beyond 2017.
Bennell is an ok wafl player but not worth top dollar so I would only want him at reasonable cost, if not take the clearance fee.
Cary Jukes and Rogers will be gone so get some money out of them.
Ellard in for sure but need more to help out Riggs and we need a tall forward, Swooper left a big hole and need someone to kick 50 goals, Gault may come back ?

Payne is playing reserves, no harm in asking if he wants a change of club is it ?

Dusty could you please explain "room in their salary cap" comment? Given the number of young local players playing for us I would have thought that ould not be an issue.

Given Swans recent history I suppose there's always room in the Swan Districts "special" salary cap

Gee mate 5 posts in and you've come out swinging haven't you?

Hopefully Gault can do a Mason Shaw for SD next year thus tall forward hopefully sorted........Clancee will be back....that is the mid to help Riggio......local talent will see SD right as it always has done in the past.

That depends if your serious about climbing the ladder. There would be 20 players at EP that you should target before Payne. No point paying transfer fees for guys that will not help you. Haven't you learnt your lesson over the last two years.
