Following their horror loss to Greater Western Sydney in the elimination final, the Swans have been 100 per cent focused on upcoming trades, and…
When considering which sports have the most naturally talented players, the group of games that will probably show up first are soccer and basketball…
he happened to be out of contract at the time, and they can still boost his pay
The Sydney Swans are the AFL's trade kings
I agree that is is rubbish, they need to re-improve the song. I was at west coast’s first game, and also was at this year’s grand final, and i can tell by far it needs to be improved.
A domination that nearly wasn't
I personally wouldn’t mind Hogan moving west; after all, its his home. But I hope the dees will recover. The team is rising out of the shadows, and a loss like Hogan could bring damage upon them.
Can Fremantle finally land Hogan?
Sydney quite possibly could have had enough money, they lost Hanners and Rohan which would have given them a lot of space, plus they apparently had salary space left from last year.
But one can never tell.

I couldn’t agree more. This is an excellent prediction. But i also agree with you that here have been too many “Fight of the Century” matches so far.

That is very interesting! Thank you for that information.
Which sport has the best athletes?
Anyone would go to Sydney for the right price

It was fairly obvious that this would happen, but i personally am amazed at how well Richmond has used their salary space and their commendable patriotic players who wouldn’t mind losing a few dollars to fit in Lynch. And we can only look down now at Gold Coast fans who now should be looking depressed. Gold Coast (after loosing Lynch and others) will probably be wooden-spooners in my 2019 predictions.
Lynch officially requests Richmond move
As you have said, we should expect the Swans to be active during the upcoming trade period, and with the loss of Hannebury and Rohan, it is most likely Sydney will get a surprise package in their trade with the salary cap space, and if they are apparently linked to Gaff, they will most likely make a big chase. It doesn’t matter if Gaff is trying to trade to a Victorian team for family reasons; if the swans want him, expect them to put in a higher bid.
If they don’t get Gaff (or even go hard for him) we will expect another big chase and/or trade to the Swans. We have seen their potential and perseverance in going and getting star players previously, including Buddy Franklin, and Tony Locket in the 90’s.
Carlton also seems to be in a good position for a few good trades too, but the Swans look like they may be the trade heroes this season.

I actually cannot tell if this is serious or not
