with pick 39 at the 2019 AFL Draft, they secured a youngster with an insatiable appetite for the contest. Warner attacks the ball and opponents with aggression and is relishing calling midfield bulls Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker

Warner will share the privilege with Dawson with his own customary title should he break his promise.

Warner " i just wanna win a premiership with Sydney first"

Could be this year that he pulls through on his word

If we win it this year and Chad wants to go home then it would fking suck but 3x first rounders will help - although our strike rate with first rounders has been iffy at best…

 

[Bonz]

Too much noise around this for my liking

Noise was just as bad on Logan McDonald, Hayward, Gulden for a little, Heeney with North years ago.

WA Media are fairly rabid on this type of stuff, they create noise and stories not only to sell papers but to push their agenda.

Know for a fact the Swans actually put in a complaint after the rumour column about crown.

Long way to go but not sure we have a tonne to worry about, his brother is on the books, we have been incredibly accommodating with his family.

We also have an incredibly tightknit group, close to if not the best culture in the league and a team that should be contending for multiple season who are taking cuts to stay together.

I'm far more confident he stays rather than leaves to be honest.

 

[SM]

If we let him go this year they would.
Next year as an uncontracted player they wouldn't have to.

Yes they would. He's still not a free agent.

Warner has used a few choice words that has made me think hmmm. Difference between him and the others.

 

[hairy biker]

The Foxsports article regarding Freo's interest in Chad asked

“I mean, how do the Swans keep all their superstar midfielders, all their players - Blakey, Mills, Heeney, Gulden and Warner,.."

Indeed.
But one might also ask how do Freo keep Darcy, Jackson, Brayshaw, Serong, Young....?

The media only askes this question of the Swans, never of any other club. Otherwise, Brisbane and Geelong would get more scrutiny.

 

[Punts]

Sounds as though he is gone unfortunately

I would do it this year as better picks while in contract

 

[Punts]

What a bummer if he does

He has attributes that many don’t have , speed , break away speed , goal kicking mid etc etc

**** be spewing

 

[bloodsbigot]

Chad is exciting but he also is one of a group of mids who the opposition need to curb. Hard to stop them all. That won't happen at Freo or West Coast.

What makes me sad is he'll become such a mediocre player in WA once he's surrounded by a crap midfield.

 

[bedford]

He hasn't gone anywhere ! him and the club said they are not worrying about it , they both want a flag . This is all panic , lets just worry about a flag and enjoy how we are going , it's f ing exciting

 

[bedford]

Wow we the Bont is out of contract at the end of 25 and guess what , he's not signing anything as doesn't want any distractions . Move on people and enjoy the special year

 

[Ticky009]

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Will have to take Corey as well

 

[Millky95]

Will have to take Corey as well

Imagine if Chad moves, Corey takes his spot and lines up on him and wins

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Sydney would have to put Chad on a massively backdated hugely long contract, Buddy style, to fit him in. That or Parks doesn’t get extended next year

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Sydney would have to put Chad on a massively backdated hugely long contract, Buddy style, to fit him in. That or Parks gets moved on in 2025

Both could happen

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Or just give him Buddy’s money

Parker is contracted next year.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Chad also probs knows if he moves it also gives Corey a better chance in his career

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

keeping Warner probably means more trade bans.

 

[Callipygian]

Holey moley! What a bunch of panic merchants. How long am I going to have to give up visiting this thread? Can we not take the Chad trade doom and gloom to the Draft & Trade thread (which I avoid for precisely this reason)? I'm not suggesting it's inappropriate to post here but just as a special favour? Pretty please?

 

[hairy biker]

So you're saying he's gone then?

Exactly !

 

[McRobie]

If we let him go this year they would.
Next year as an uncontracted player they wouldn't have to.

That’s what I meant. We need to get in same page with Chad for both club and his sakes. Some honest conversations required.

If Chad doesn't want to discuss it yet then that's that.
