Or is Swallow cooked. I would have thought they needed hard bodied mid fielders for a couple of years while Dew raises a new crop.

I think their biggest problem is experience they ony have 7 100+ game players and 3 almost 100 gamers

No    Name                        games  Age
35   Rischitelli, Michael   215   31yr 10mth
5   Harbrow, Jarrod   202   29yr 3mth
3   Rosa, Matthew   202   30yr 11mth
1   Hanley, Pearce   142   28yr 11mth
         
20   Barlow, Michael   138   29yr 10mth
         
19   Lynch, Tom   121   25yr
17   May, Steven   106   25yr 10mth
12   Day, Sam   98   25yr 2mth
         
33   Hall, Aaron   97   27yr
24   Swallow, David   97   24yr 11mth

I dont see why they wouldn't want to add to that as they bring on kids which they have a lot of.
