His best is very good, but his bad is genuinely awful. Has the potential to be one of the best wingmen in the AFL.
He's about to head into his seventh season sitting on 92 games. Apart from that intercept goal in the 2022 PF against Collingwood, he's done nothing of note in any of the finals...
Midfield is in a bit of a pickle. No real genuine speed in there (Warner's breakaway speed aside) and then only one, maybe two, contested-first players in there. Just very vanilla with a few weaknesses that get found out each season in the same way.
I hope, too, that only one of McLean and...
He's definitely worth more than one game a year. Would rather him get a game ahead of McLean going into 2025, unless Big Mc can improve his turning circle.
I think playing him a bit more in the 1's can lead to a fitter Grundy further into the season.
Sorry, but how many Swans in recent memory have cracked/fractured their jaw in a match and played out the match?
Tippett was a lot of things, but he certainly wasn't soft as butter, that's for sure.
Could very well be right, but I hope the coaches give him a decent chance by playing him in one position (half-forward/small forward) for a good chunk without being dropped/being sub.
He has points of difference that not many on the list have.
It's really tough. If we have another relatively injury-free year, they'll need to bang the door down in the reserves to get in.
But I don't see Roberts has a defender, the same with Florent. Their strengths are better used in the midfield/wing, but then who do you drop from the midfield?
Our...
Incredible opportunity now for these 1st-4th year players to make their mark in early pre-season in front of a new coach and with most of the senior players still away.
One of our greatest coaches and has given us so many great years and moments. Has arguably built the most talented Swans playing lists we've seen, too. But the time is right for him to move on.
Cal has long had it out for the Swans, due to the fact they give him absolutely zero information.
The cynic in me says that he put King in there to drive up the hype/bidding price. But more realistically, King is a unique talent (tall mid/potential to get taller) and has a unique skillset that...
Are we just supposed to be happy that we got embarrassed in yet another Grand Final? The club as a whole take us fans for fools. If our players went out there, gave it all they had and lost, then that's fine...I can deal with that. But you could argue only two players could hold their head high...
If Grundy and Ladhams are injured at the same time in 2025, we'll only have Will Green has a fit, pure ruckman.
Surely Brayden Crossley or another mature state-league ruck on a one/two year deal in the Rookie Draft would've been the bare minimum to do?
Nothing against him, but the pressure is on both him and the Swans' staff to deliver with this pick considering the other talent available at this pick.
If they don't have the answers (which they probably don't), then tell us straight up and don't take us for fools. Don't trot around this "we played so well during the season and proud of almost all of it" line.
