Not usually one to read too much into players when they speak about their contract situation, but the vibe I'm getting is that Florent isn't a top priority signing. The club will always work on the deals they want to get done first, and we're seeing that with Gulden & Rowbottom.* Yet we've gotten the "We'll see" treatment from Florent (and Hayward, although that was in February.)
Reliable Swan on free agency call, belief after GF pain
The Swans believe they can win the flag in 2024, according to defender Oliver Florentwww.afl.com.au
I could see one of them being the George Hewett to Gulden/Rowbottom/McDonald's Jordan Dawson, in the sense that their offers could be dependent on the others'.
*McDonald is a different situation as he's a top priority signing but not a proven entity yet.

Stocks up, stocks down: Veteran Tiger stands tall; Lions pillar fails to impact
A Tigers vet stood tall as his side upset the Swans, and Harry McKay continued his return to form, but a Brisbane forward failed to have any impact in his side's loss to Collingwood. Here's whose stocks are up and down after Round 3.
Not so well now
But good to get this sort of performance out of the way early… hopefully won’t put in another one as bad for the rest of the season.

Horse on 360 tonight
AAA on AFL website this week basically just showed what we all thought post-game. Tigers' executed the turnover game better than we did yesterday.
Their mids ran past all our players to get in better positions. Things we did the 1st 3 weeks.
Just lazy and 'disrespectful' on our end.

They were abhorrent across the board. AFL Have a real problem with their talent pool in the umpiring ranks. The inability to stay in line with the way their peers are adjudicating the game in any given game across 4 qtrs is deplorable. We shot ourselves in the foot though yesterday not the umpires make no mistake about that.But nah it was the umps.

Free kick counts aren't things to be 'won' though, and 'losing' or 'winning' the count is no great reflection on the quality or fairness of the umpiring.

Absolutely agree that free kick counts don't necessarily reflect quality or fairness in the umpiring.* Also I don't think there should be any assumption that free kick counts should finish about even.
My mistake to link to unrelated topics. I don't have much to say about the quality of umpiring. Basically I think it's a tough job, they're gonna make mistakes, I don't buy into the umpires being involved in any conspiracies, I don't think they're biased against certain teams (including us), I don't see the point in whingeing about umpiring. Contrary to what people say I suspect umpiring has improved but our expectations have increased (and our vision of the game has improved) too.
However, it is interesting that year on year the Swans come out at the bottom of the free kick tables and this year is looking like it will be no exception. I don't think we are an especially dirty or ill disciplined team, so I don't think that offers an explanation. I don't know the explanation but, if I'm speculating, I might say that perhaps we are coached to play right to the edge and we have decided that the benefits of doing that outweigh the free kick count going against us.
* There are circumstances where I think you might be tempted to infer a deficit in umpiring just from the free kick count e.g. not a single free kick called all game. Conversely 100 free kicks would also suggest something is going wrong with the adjudication. If it was 25-0 one way I'd also be pretty suss.
