From a biases Swans supporter POV, I say we stack up pretty well, barring injuries to our side.

Depth is obviously our biggest problem...

Wouldn't class Hardwick or Wilson as midfielders, even Wanganeen is pushing it a bit. Port will miss Francou (again) and also Nick Stevens, they'll be hoping youngsters like Salopek and Ebert will push through.

For the Lions, definitely stick Luke Power in there, and I liked the look of Richard Hadley.

In terms of stats, our biggest problem continues to be clearances. Brisbane's midfield is well above ours in that area, although Goodes helps to drag it back, as he has a pretty good number of them.

Disposals and goals are also down a bit relative to Brisbane's players up there.

Depth is our other major issue.

We don't look too bad, but all of the guys in our midfield really need to fire this year.
