After the euphoria settles, the Swans still have a couple of big risks - namely injury to McCartin or Hickey .... we can’t cover their positions.

Sinkers will not do as well as Hickey has been but can fill the gap. If later in the year perhaps Naismith. Not too bad ruck wise.
The tall defender would probably fall to Melican. A drop off for sure but hopefully not the end of the world.
I pretty much support any side vs Victorian

We were founded in Victoria and have over 12,000 Victorian members
Surprised how well Warner is going? did you watch him play for East Fremantle?
A bit worried about Melican’s effectiveness under the new rules.
He is a solid spoiling defender, but can be left lamenting by quick forwards on the lead.
I suspect it’s part of the reason he hasn’t been selected this year.
McCartin is absolutely critical.

Pleasantly surprised! I only ever remember seeing him in 1 game, against Perth when I was watching Elijah Taylor. He kicked a couple of goals that day but wasn't their best
Has been really good this year
Yer basically need to get those 2 unscathed to hope of finishing top 10.
Depth is decent with Melican/Brand to cover for McCartin albeit significant downgrade, rest of the depth is mids and half forwards.
As for Hickey well yer we have no one capable of matching what he has produced in the first 3 rounds.
Medal is in the mail.
Appreciate that.
However.
The bias that is applied to Victoria enables me to barrack for any interstate team
Early days but Phil Davis has been subbed out of the game vs Dees. May not be available to.play against us. Don't know why.
Toby Greene has given up

Literally just stood and watched Lever walk past him
Well there goes Warner’s chance of making it 3/3 Swans RS nominations.
Pickett has it sewned up for this round.

It's weird how some players just instantly achieve first-name/nick-name basis with commentators. Kysaiah Pickett is an exciting talent, but why is he 'Kozzie' already? I reckon every player in the comp would have a nickname but they show their biased arses when they start doing it for only the select few. Meanwhile Harry Cunningham has played nearly 150 games and still struggles to not get mistaken for Brad Seymour.
I know it's just part of the game but it irks me.

Feels like the Giants have given up after the 2019 evisceration in the Grand Final... might have to carry the baton for NSW from now on

GWS had one shot in 2016 and they missed it. They were never winning 2019 anyway.
It’s not unusual for clubs to falter after a grand final belting. Port imploded after 07.
