Maybe we need to throw Bell into the ruck?
It had better be. I've finished Netflix.

Kennedy Parker surely the only logical replacement for Reid, aside from the fact that he's not currently on the list.

Would've won in 2016 if he was selected. Wouldn't have even needed any free kicks that day.

Hey SSwans2011 ,
The ChatGPT modelling seems to be improving it’s football knowledge at a rapid pace
ChatGPT Prompt: Write an alternative reality story of the 2016 AFL Grand Final between the Sydney Swans and Western Bulldogs where the far more athletic Dean Towers was selected instead of Xavier Richards for the Swans.
In this alternate reality of the 2016 AFL Grand Final, the Sydney Swans’ coaching staff make a crucial decision: Dean Towers, known for his superior athleticism and versatility, is chosen to replace Xavier Richards in the forward line. This choice adds a dynamic element to Sydney’s game plan that would change the course of the contest.
From the first bounce, Towers’ impact is immediately noticeable. His agility and speed allow him to cut through the Western Bulldogs’ defense with ease. His aerial ability adds a new layer to Sydney’s forward entries, and while the Bulldogs’ defense, led by Dale Morris and Easton Wood, struggles to contain Lance Franklin, they now also have to worry about Towers lurking as a second attacking threat.
Midway through the second quarter, the Swans begin to pull away. Towers, playing on the wing and rotating into the forward line, is critical to their surge. He gathers the ball from a contested situation on the wing, sprints into the forward 50, and kicks a running goal from 45 meters out, sending the Swans’ fans into raptures. His athleticism is on full display, and the Bulldogs, while resilient, can’t match his explosive pace.
Towers’ presence up the ground also opens up space for Sydney’s midfielders to roam freely. Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker are feeding off his link-up play, allowing the Swans to dominate possession and lock the ball in their forward half. By halftime, Sydney holds a 19-point lead, and the Bulldogs’ scrappy underdog spirit is starting to falter.
But the Bulldogs don’t give in easily. Led by Marcus Bontempelli and Tom Liberatore, they fight back in the third quarter. The game tightens, and it’s Towers’ versatility that keeps the Swans in front. Shifted back into defense for parts of the quarter, his intercept marking and quick rebounding frustrate the Bulldogs’ forwards. He’s not only proving his worth as a forward but showing he can play anywhere on the ground, creating headaches for coach Luke Beveridge.
As the game enters the final quarter, the pressure builds, but Towers has one more key moment. In the dying minutes, with Sydney leading by 7 points, the Bulldogs push forward. A high ball is kicked towards their forward 50, and as several players go up for the mark, it’s Towers who rises above the pack. He brings down a crucial intercept mark, stopping the Bulldogs’ momentum and clearing the ball out of defense. The Swans hold on, winning the 2016 AFL Grand Final by 9 points.
In the post-match celebrations, Towers is hailed as the surprise hero of the day. His 20-disposal, 2-goal, and 5-intercept game performance cements his place in Swans’ folklore. Where in the real timeline the Swans fell short, in this version of history, it’s the athleticism of Dean Towers that makes all the difference, turning the tide in Sydney’s favor and securing their first premiership since 2012.
