SYDNEY Swans CEO Myles Baron-Hay will ask for an apology after his Carlton counterpart Greg Swann called Swan Nick Davis “not a great bloke” on the weekend.

Swann said that the Blues were not interested in the 28-year-old forward, whose contract expires at the end of the year.

“Not in a million years,’ was Swann’s response on Fairfax radio, after he was asked about the possibility of Davis lining up for Carlton in 2009.

“I had a bit to do with him in a past life,” Swann said. “We don’t need him at our club.”

Swans coach Paul Roos thinks the comments were in bad taste.

“I think that is inappropriate for a CEO of another footy club,” Roos said. “Maybe if Greg had his time over again I wouldn’t have thought he would say something like that because Nick is a really likeable kid. He is a good kid who wouldn’t harm anyone. I am very disappointed to hear Greg say that.”

Roos said he had asked Baron-Hay to call Swann.

“I have asked Myles to speak to Greg because that is appropriate,” Roos said. “It is not a big issue for us but I think we need to get that across. I mean, I wouldn’t speak about a Carlton player like that.”

When asked if he thought an apology was in order, Roos replied: “Well, I would have thought so. Obviously Greg has dealt with Nick in the past. To say that publicly is inappropriate and pretty poor.”
