Mark Seaby

[Francois Jackson]

Well after the way Seaby has started the season and during the pre-season the comments after I posted this thread make for some interesting reading.... to say the least

I wonder how many people would now like to have him at the club??

no not me they can have him.

you cant compare the swans to our club. Come on please

Do you honestly think if he was playing for the Tigers he would be replicating the same form he has been showing of late. No Chance!!

another player who will be found out very soon

[Mr Magic]

I hope that there's a better target this year.

I didn't compare the Swans to our club did I!! He hasn't been found out yet but most of our players have including our entire ruck devision.

Far harder to be found out when the Swans are an experienced team who need a player just like Seaby compared to a team like Richmond starting from scratch with 14 new players and destined for bottom 2.

Seaby would be no good for us and we would be no good long-term solution for him, that's why we got Simmonds for one more year.

I am not quite sure when supporters are going to realise that we need the balance of experience (decent players) and youth while we are re-building. I think some supporters have been caught up in this whole "play the youth" a little too much.

With a team full of youth we will never get any ware, we need the experienced players like Seaby etc to help us through this stage until our groups average age is one where we can move ahead as a group.

Seaby would have done better than Graham and Simmonds at the moment. He may of given us first use of the ball instead of us being completely flogged out of the centre, please see game against Dogs. He could have also drifted forward and helped out Jack and co, we rely and put too much pressure on the youth at this club and without the support of players like the Seaby's of the AFL we will stay in our ses pit.... IMO..

We got plenty of first use of the pill against the dogs, infact it was one of our only positives.  Maybe he could have drifted forward but I hope Griffiths will be doing that in a couple of weeks.

Not going to say you're wrong that you need experience as I don't have the knowledge to tell you that comclusively but one thing I do know is Sydney gave away pick 22 to get Seaby and there is no way in hell we should or would be giving away draft selections in that area for a player the standard of Seaby for the benefit we would get out of him.

Fair enough TA, but really watch the 1st 3 qtrs of the Dogs game again and even listen to Hird, Heally and BT, they all said we were being flogged out of the centre and it was clear to see.

I totally agree that we should not be giving up early picks for any player regardless of their talent as we are starting from ground zero. What we should be looking at though is to off load some of our less talented players with maybe 1-2 late picks for medium aged (24-26) skillfull experienced players that would relish a change.

I just think it would be nore benificial to the club.

Easy to suggest these trades in theory, but damn hard to execute them when there is a man on the other side of the table working just as hard to do the best for himself and his club.

Yeah true, truth is we actually don't have the players to trade for better players..

Posts in this thread have shown I would have been happy to have him at the club, just not for a cost
Sydney got the deal done in the swap for Amon Buchanan plus draft picks changing hands.
Not sure we had the player to swap for him, and I wouldn't have wanted it to have cost us any places in the draft either

We were once interested in getting Seaby across 3-to-4 years ago. He's been delisted by the Swans today. A cheap mature spare ruck option as insurance or a waste of time now?

Just waiting for WAT's reply on this, reading from the posts above he seems to be the resident Seaby expert

[Yeahright]

Wouldn't be a bad rookie choice if he lasted that long. If not eh
