Swans Trade Update: Key Targets and Potential Departures

The Sydney Swans have made significant moves this season, securing the re-signing of key players Logan McDonald and Will Hayward. This was a huge win for the club, especially considering the lucrative offers they both received from rival teams. With these contracts now settled, the Swans are shifting their focus toward potential new recruits, including Jake Stringer from Essendon. According to AFL Media’s Damian Barrett, Stringer is high on Sydney’s radar. His addition would bring a new dynamic to John Longmire’s forward line, easing the pressure on the Swans’ younger tall forwards, who have struggled with consistency throughout the season.

On the flip side, the Swans may see some notable departures. Veteran midfielder Luke Parker is rumored to be considering a move, with North Melbourne emerging as a likely destination for the 2025 season. Parker has faced a challenging year with injuries and suspensions but remains a valuable asset as the Swans pursue their premiership hopes.

Additionally, ruckman Peter Ladhams, currently behind Brodie Grundy in the Swans’ lineup, might look for more opportunities at another club. Small forward Jacob Konstanty is another player who could seek a change, as he has struggled to break into the senior team. These potential exits could shape Sydney’s trade and recruitment strategy as they look to strengthen their squad.
