The Swans have said today they will chase a second experienced ruckman if Jolly is traded....

Would they be interested in Simmo?

Ports 3rd round pick is 40. Cant see Port offering us 40 for Simmonds however.

Williams has lost it.  I can definitely see that happening.

I think Williams has lost the passion there. It is obvious the relationship between board and coach is very fractured. It was almost as if he was acked he would not have minded. I don't think Simmonds is worth pick 40 but throw in Simmonds and Hughes or Edwards or all 3 and maybe pick 24 and Mitch Farmer and we may be able to make the deal more attractive to both sides to trade.

It would be a coup for Richmond to get pick 40 for Simmonds who should be retiring at this point in time, and who probably would have been retired or delisted had our ruck stocks not been as deplorable as they are.

its well and good to say send him to port or sydney. we forget one thing he left freo because of the go home factor he has to agree and he wont.

ive mentioned this on other boards imo we should chase sam jacobs at carlton. rookie listed player and carlton have to make a decision on him. with kruezer hampson and warnock all in front of him and cloke pinch hitting in the ruck this bloke should be made to see there is no future for him there.
 may not be a world beater but is young has improvement in him and has shown some good signs he would be an improvement on anything we currently have. to top it off would come cheap.
