Reserves team could look something like this early in the season. For argument's sake, am discounting the 23 that were last chosen in the senior team (Mills in for Parker). Remaining 21 on the list to choose from.

B: Leidler - Francis - Snell

HB: Paton - Andrew - Bice

C: Mitchell - Cleary - Co. Warner

HF: Hanily - Buller - Bowman

F: Dattoli - Hamling - Wicks

Foll: Ladhams - Adams -Sheldrick

I/C: Green - Edwards - Kirk

Good team.

They are the players. Although even injuries aside, I expect some variation from that with players being selected for seniors and others relegated.

NB: I think generally the more senior players (Edwards, Kirk, Green) should not be named on the bench ahead of the first year players. I'd put Edwards and fullback, move Francis to CHB and Andrew to the bench; I'd switch Green to the starting ruck and name Ladhams forward instead of Hanily; and I'd think about switching Kirk and Leidler although I can kinda see it makes sense naming them in those positions so not so fussed about that one.

Sure, I would normally have the more senior players in the starting 18 too but was more or less just plugging holes with players in positions they are most noted for. As you say, never have a full list of 44 players anyway and hence it all gets shuffled around anyway between injuries and players being dropped from seniors and so on.

Not that I recall. But if you got any news about the 2025 team to kick it off, that'd be great!

Mitchell winning the VFL side's B&F might explain why he won the VFL Player of the Year award despite Francis being the more obvious pick. Mitchell played two extra games and won the B&F by only 8 votes, so perhaps if Francis won the B&F he also would've won the VFL Player of the Year award.

The article also says it was Mitchell's first year when it was actually his second.

2024 Smithy's VFL Season Review - Sydney Swans

Despite doubling its wins tally from the previous year, Sydney didn’t quite reach its potential in 2024 given the ability the Swans had on their list and the dominance their AFL team showed for most of the year

A fair summation.
