How are we going to spend it? The World Cup makes it easier than most years but it's still an odd blip in the middle of the season. In terms of scheduling, the AFL have made a blue giving us a bye this week with the NRL also having the week off and the Giants being in Brisbane.

I am ready for a rest but also excited for what might lie ahead. -

I think he's right. I was only commenting to a couple of fellow supporters yesterday how noticeable it is.We could talk about Swans evolving game style

I feel like we have never really lacked pace, since drafting Jetta, Rohan and getting Rhyce Shaw etc.
Defensive pressure is definitely an area we have improved on though, with defensive closing speed, harassing and corralling the ball user from our young guys like Papley, Hayward, Ronke, Florent leading the way. Forward defensive pressure has been our Achilles heel the past few years, not so much the lack of pace.

I'm using the bye to work out the permutations of trade week and the ND. Should keep me busy :-)
I notice in today's potential No.1 pick article by Twomey that the "recruiter" says Blakey should definitely be in top 5 conversations, so too should Tarryn Thomas the Tassie kid gifted to Norf. What we need is for other highly touted kids to have great U18 carnivals so that Blakey gets pushed out of top 5 conversation. He will cost us no doubt but looks a great addition.
BF boards are an interesting read over the bye, I particularly like the madcap trades and recruiting posters come up with. Blues and Crows boards are full of what the Crows would need to give up to get pick 1 to use on SA prodigy Lukocious, the strong favourite to be top pick.Comment

Bye week
Not Callum?s baby. He has a brother Wesley, and I think it is Wes and Wes?s wife?s baby - so Callum?s nephew.
I recalled Callum had (non-AFL) brothers from this funny story about Callum asking his mother to call him Tony Lockett:
