Anyone else worried about how much we are going to destroy this team? Seriously though.

[31 hard at it]

Looks like a great team - Then I have been following the Swans for a long time and I always say that - but this year we start with cups almost full
Who will be the Sub - Rohan to be held back so as not to put a full game on him or Jetta - attempted flashes in the last quarter or just ease in the new boy Cunningham.
Bad rule they should all get better game time !

Happy to see so many young faces in the team! Especially Harry and Gaz, who in my mind, are fighting it out for most endearing Swan.

Anyway I suspect GWS might try a Dees type game plan against us and try and have lots of run by playing on at every moment. It's worked successfully in the past and certainly Sheeds will try and shake things up. However, by the looks of this team I suspect we'll have just as much dash and dare.

Here's to a successful season 2012. Go the Bloods!

Good point. Ugg?

If you're talking any of the other clubs, I'm sure it happens every season especially if they're older rookies.
2011
Ed Curnow for Carlton
Jarrad Irons for Port
Cam Pedersen for North

If you're talking the Swans, I'll get back to you.
EDIT: Bevan was promoted from the rookie list for Round 1 2004 to take the place of an injured Kennelly. But he had been on the rookie list for a year. Keep searching....
