Recommitted Chad Warner [Signs until 2027]

[Kbroome]

Congrats Sydney bros/gals.

Best and most sensible result for everyone with where all parties are at

100% and now we (Sydney) have two years to flip the list around and dump the excess flankers and get 1-2 more inside mids that can get a hard ball

 

[Superstar swan]

Now eagles and dockers fans don’t want him

After spending the last 18 months arguing over he will go to

I love footy

Freo fans want him but we are kinda tied to Kozzy this year

2027 suits us much better

Not really.

Can't speak for Dockers fans but the WCE fans(on here at least) that wanted him were in the minority.

We're not in a position to be going for big trades right now.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

That's surprising. Swans must have told him what they'd give him up for and Eagles/Freo said they wouldn't offer close to that

I think it's most likely a combination

• Freo couldnt offer close to market value, basically ruling us out
• Joining WC now is just not a fun career move
• WC paying the capital for him would be another stupid decision in a rebuild that cant take any more stupid decisions
• Two more years to see if he can win a flag at Sydney first.

I doubt Sydney trade demands had anything to do with anything. This works best for everyone

 

[voorhees]

great positive for the Swans
works for W.C aswell, they need multiple quality players not just invest all in one.

 

[Borough Blood]

Bookmarked

This is going to be fun

You’re right, it was fun.

 

[Borough Blood]

Staggered;
Astonish or deeply shock.
"I was staggered to find it was six o'clock"

Red Bull keep your eye on that

 

[Borough Blood]

Warner won’t extend his contract at Sydney and will finish up next year. I can’t see Warner asking for a trade at the end of this season unless Sydney wins the premiership. TBH I can’t see any team knocking them off this year. Absolutely flying.

Wrong on both accounts unfortunately.

 

[JammoMonty]

Down hill skier. Never rated him

 

[Bonz]

That's surprising. Swans must have told him what they'd give him up for and Eagles/Freo said they wouldn't offer close to that

Or alternatively he doesn't want to play at a rebuilding club in WCE and Freo have their eggs tied up in a different Kozzie Pickett shaped basket.

 

[JammoMonty]

Wrong on both accounts unfortunately.

Gave it a good shake

 

[Daka]

He is averaging 20 disposals per game, way overpaid if he re-signed for 2.7-2.8m over 2 years at the Swans according to Cal Twomey.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Probably best result for Eagles and Swans as sad as that is for us . Id have rather he came already just because I dont rate this draft at all so not concerned with losing a pick or 2

 

[Lia]

Kicking the can down the road two years suits all concerned really, good luck to him.

 

[Cam Payne]

Good on him. Would love to have him, but not sure we have the means to get him. This also gives us 2 more years to crap on about how we do get him.

Perfect result

With Kosi and Shai as well as the players that are on your list there is no way you can fit the Salary he will be offered

 

[Syd]

The Chad Commits to Sydney

The Swans secured the highly sought-after signature of the All-Australian midfielder, who turned down significant interest from rival clubs.

Players come out of contract between now and 2027

We are likely to lose someone that opens up Chads spot


If Serong goes at end of 2027 then we get Chad in for his spot

We be trading cox back to SA

 

[Libbaaaa]

Smart call for all involved. Chad still earns a tonne of cash and tries to get a flag with Sydney while the Eagles or even Freo don't need to give up anything to get him in two years time. Probably a gentleman's agreement too that the Swans won't match any contract in two years time.

I would take him in a heartbeat but don't trust WC management not to offer Sydney two early firsts and a HJs franchise.

Na i still want him, spewing

Well done Swans, will still enjoy watching

Snuff the master of understatement - "Joining WC now is just not a fun career move".

Bit like saying watching Pammy Anderson running along the beach in a red swimsuit now isn't quite the turn on it once was.

Used to just move the eyes up and down, but now I get whiplash trying to follow the jiggle.
