    In retrospect I think the trades for Tippett and Franklin have been a major recruiting mistake. Tippett was a flop and unfortunately we are too predictable and one dimensional with Franklin. I think we would be a better side with Mitchell rather than Franklin. We simply lost too much middle ranking depth to have Tippett and Franklin.
    Ok then if we can reverse time 4-5 years we are set...bloody stupid comment when we won 15 in a row last year.

      According to the AFL rules it's allowed when playing the Sydney Swans. Just like sliding into opponents legs like in the 2016 GF.

        Somebody needs to grab Toby Greene’s leg and drive it into the turf full force the next time he goes Karate Kid… the dude should be suspended 2 games every time he does it.

          I’d love to see an opponent put their foot out in the same marking contest and make contact with a Toby Greene’s exposed areas.
          Greene has form on and off the field - hope he gets cleaned up soon.

            It just shows you where the umpires heads are at when they're umpiring the Swans.....to even let Green get away with it.

                Anyone else watching fox? Notice hanners crying when coming off ? That tells me he’s gone , getting smashed in an elimination doesn’t normally get the tears going , looks like a man who knows he’s played his last game for the swans .

                  Sinclair worn out at the end of a bloody long year - he deserves kudos for his effort. Cameron in the 2's was B.O.G. again - he may be a permanent fixture next year. Melican back will be handy. Reid/Rohan I think are almost finished due to injury.

                    Yes, I recall that he was suspended for that last year, but apparently, it's okay today.

                      I did not mention Johnson in my comment?

                          Would be good to see Sinclair played deep forward next year , good mark good kick and a foil for bud. How we fit both Naismith and Cameron I don’t know but maybe Cameron offers more ?

                            Toby Greene: the man who was born to be punched.

                              Ok. I am not sure I follow your logic. If we don't win the flag our recruiting 5 years ago is flawed so lets get back a slow midfielder? Is that it?

                                Sinclair was the Swan's player of the year, imo. NOBODY expected him to fill in for Naismith the way he did. Top marks!
