Pretty sure they do BH.....Clark and Lucas listed for EF.....tho neither wont play for EF this year......get them listed post delisting to ensure you get money for them if they go else where......

I seen on facebook that Yarrans is talking to Swan Districts so to me that's the first step for him coming back to the club anyone else see this add.

This is the AD

Chris Yarran has discussed a playing return with Swan Districts next year after walking away from his AFL career at Richmond.

The 25-year-old has met Swans coach Greg Harding and is working towards a potential comeback with his original club in 2017.

Yarran has also spent time with several of his WAFL colts premiership teammates who are now back at Swans, including former Carlton midfielder David Ellard.

Swans are preparing for the 119-game AFL utility player to attend several training sessions with the club before Christmas.

A return to full training has been discussed for the new year.

Swans football manager Phil Smart said the club was taking the process with Yarran slowly.

I'm sure all Swans supporters would love to see Chris running around in the black and white jumper in 2017 and at his best he has the ability to be a dominant player at WAFL level. He needs to be in a good mental space to do this though and the club is doing the right thing by working through this slowly with him.

I believe that Swans will indeed take it very slowly with his wellbeing the MOST important factor in complete contrast to the views on mental health expressed by the most recent former PM.

What sort of player is Nelson Ansey? What are his strengths?

He looks like a fit version of Mr T...is a big unit...strengths are his marking when on...played his footy up north mostly as a forward whilst at swans he has been used back forward and in the ruck. Personally I think he is best suited forward but needs to work on defensive side when at that end of the ground..,word is he is looking to move but I have it from the horse's mouth that SD will not be letting him go easily. Like Rudy not quite realised his potential as yet but his upside is huge and I believe he is capable of dominating at WAFL level if he can find the confidence required within and decide to destroy his opponent. No more Mr Nice Guy will see him carve his niche in the comp. TBH not sure Perth is the right club for him at this stage if that's where he is looking to go. Smart move would be to stay where he is with Simmo's role in the side there to be taken...suits Nelson perfectly

Makes you wonder why a bloke who comes up thru a club and is getting opportunities and playing with his mates would leave the bottom side to go where it's going to be harder to get a game.
Has plenty of talent but must think he will play more games elsewhere ?
Strange one

Certainly disappointing if he is looking elsewhere. As DW said he has plenty of upside and showed flashes of that potential in 2016. You would have to think he has the ability to command a regular spot in the Swans side if he stayed. I just had the feeling sometimes that maybe he wasn't the coaches favourite player and that may be why he is looking at another club? Just a hunch, maybe he just wants a fresh start.
