    This is a huge bummer really disappointing end to the football calendar after a extremely promising season.

      It is disappointing. I wonder if this decision has anything to do with the way the season ended. It has been streamed more years recently than not, including last year. I do vaguely remember one other year when they decided not to stream it. It's possible that was after another GF loss.

      Maybe the thought process is that the mood will be muted rather than celebratory, but there's still a huge amount to celebrate about the season we've just shared.

          I see you've calmed down since Saturday. Yes, we did have a good season.

            When I told my brother that our B&F wasn't being streamed, he said that he didn't think the Geelong one was being streamed either. If true that's even more of a surprise.

                From a Swans tweet, at round 18.

                Chad might make it!

                  Maybe. I suspect Mills will hang on. Up until the grand final, he had a better close to the season than Warner. I also expect Parker to come with a rush and finish certainly top four, maybe top three. And Rowbottom to be not far behind him. Top five, I suspect (overtaking Heeney and Gulden and Rampe).

                  I'm a little surprised Paddy Mac hasn't polled sufficiently to be in the top 10. And Hayward too, though that does raise the question of who in the top ten to this stage I'd take out. Rampe maybe? He was excellent towards the end of the year but less so earlier on.

                    How bad can our inside midfield group be if all 4 are in the top 8 in the B&F? I know it doesn't tell the whole story, but it does say that the coaches are pretty happy with this group. We have Sheldrick waiting in the wings. Why would we entertain breaking up this group with an outsider on big money?

                    Also hoping that Gould winning the VFL award will keep him happy at the Swans, at least for another year. Based on his interview, it sounds like he's staying.

                      Gould could end up being the next Dawson for us, take 3 years to get a go

                        Make that top 4 out of 4 for our midfielders. It's hard to make a case that we failed because of our midfield. Warner is only 21 and Rowbottom just turned 22. Still plenty of upside with this group.

                          Absolutely.

                            100% and Gould has signed in for next year already so he's not going anywhere!

                              On that logic it’s imperative we start recruiting forwards with only one in the top ten.

                              On paper and individually our midfield looks strong. But while the GF was anomalous in the severity of the beating we received, it wasn’t too surprising given the season as a whole the stats showed we were middling as a midfield group. In the first half of the year we suffered some mighty consecutive runs of scores against us, which led to us losing a number of games against non finalists

                              For whatever reason our midfield as a whole was somehow lesser than the some of its parts. We may need to look at the coaching and the setup (tactics not personnel ) for next year

                                All fair enough and kudos to Mills. What an exceptional year he had.

                                Four of the top ten 22 or under bodes very well. Nice to see Pat Mc finish so well and that’s a good nod for Wil on the clubman award.

                                Great effort by Chad in what was his first full season of footy, really. Likewise Errol.

                                And as for Rowie, enough said.
