Can we improve next year ??

Not denied surely - just made more of a challenge. After all, we all know that the likes of Goodes, Schneider, Kennelly (as prime examples) have come via a route other than a top 10 draft pick. I reckon it's a myth that you have to stock up on top draft picks to be in a position to challenge. The two teams currently chock-a-bloc with them haven't given the premiership a whimper yet.

I think that may have more to do with those teams coaching staff than players,
At any rate I think we should be trying to win the flag next year, because we obviously are in with a chance, (finishing 3rd this year ),
If some of our young players don't continue to come on and really come on (we need another Star ) then I think that we are going to have to find the quality from somwhere.
Hopfully what we require will be found within our already existing ranks !!

On injuries did you notice through the year we had barley any injuries though they were all instrumental or KPP that we lost. Glad there were no suspensions to, I hope we can keep that up.

This injury thing is a bit of a myth. I think that we were pretty lucky with our injuries. Ok we had Mick and Saddo out for a few games, and Ball at the end of the year. Doyal was our only serious long term injured player and he would be third in line for ruck anyway.

Imagine next year if we lost Hall, Schauble and Goodes for a lot of the year. That would be devistating to the team and would hurt a lot more than Doyal, Fixter and co being injured as per this year.

That aside, why would the Swans delist Seymour to make way for James? How would we be better off?

Age perhaps ?

seems like a worry to me .

We're also very lucky to have the best club doctor in the business, in Nathan .
