Congrats Smooch! Named in the back pocket.
Hopefully more Swans to come

Malceski on half-back flank!

[dawson]

Kennedy in there as centreman.

Franklin is a given and hopefully Parker sneaks onto the bench

[Danzar]

That would be some accomplishment if Parker gets through.

He missed out

[DamY]

Pretty good team

[Auntie.Gerald]

incredible by Breust the last couple of years

[Plugger1300]

Parker before Pendles imo

Also Rance very lucky. Only good for half a year

[Conor_Dillon]

Four out of five isn't bad but Pendlebury has snuck in on reputation I think...Parker had something like 570 disposals, 24 goals and 140 tackles, if that can't at least get you a spot on the bench I'm not sure what will!

Let's hope he wins a premiership and maybe even a Norm Smith instead.

Also Rance very lucky. Only good for half a year

Luckily for him it was the right half.

Four Sydney Swans players named in All Australian team

I like Andrew Wu, he seems to be on our side but can still be fairly dispassionate when required

[liz]

It brings to 10 the number of current Swans who have earned All Australian honours wearing the red and the white.

Not a bad list of players we've had the pleasure of watching over the past few seasons.

I was especially pleased that Malceski finally earned the honour, after nearly making it on several previous occasions. Given how punctuated his career has been with knee injuries, he's been a remarkably consistent performer over a long stretch of time and, like Leo Barry and Nick Davis, will eventually retire with a key "moment" to savour.

Hopefully Malceski can be the shining light of hope for AJ (whether he is at the club or not) - his story of coming back from awful injuries to rise to the cream of the crop is inspiring, and hopefully it'll help inspire AJ to push on in his ongoing battle to recover.

Great to see 4 of them get in there this year, and parker was pretty stiff not to make it as well - his time will come though.

Two moments Liz - don't forget his amazing first Swan's goal of the 2012 GF.
