I find myself thinking I can handle not making finals if the Cats don't either. Vindictively petty but I'll live with it.

good to get a tassie row

I used a very prominent person as played in 2000s and Tasmania, who also played in Brisbane. Almost screwed myself over

With the news of Buddy's retirement it got me thinking about a question I'd like to pose to folks on here...

Which Swans player's departure (either by trade or retirement) do you think we have been impacted by/struggled to recover from the most?

For mine it has to be Nick Malceski

. I don't think we realised how much we relied upon someone providing that penetration and ability to slice open a team's set up with just one kick until Malceski was gone. It really wasn't until 2021 when we started to see a bit of it from Dawson, Blakey, and subsequently McInerney, Florent and last year Fox that we finally picked back up in a rebounding sense.

I'd also throw in Hanners. I don't think JPK became any less of a player once he lost his partner in crime, but I think he became a little less effective once he lost his partner in crime. That one-two punch of "JPK to Hanners" that became so synonymous with our successful era was suddenly gone. IMO it's not a coincidence that Hanners last good year in 2017 was also the last year we had a great midfield.

JPK SIMPLE

I mean, isn't it a little soon to say with regards to JPK? It's not even been one year since he's retired we've already made one grand final lol

We needed him in the middle and still do , the big body and heart

Yeah I'm not saying I wouldn't love him in the midfield right now. I just think it's too soon to say we've struggled to recover from his absence. It's been one year. Even someone like Grundy, been nearly five years now and we're yet to find a defender as good or as reliable as him.

Your Hewett restraint is admirable caesar88 !

Personally - I think Jarrad McVeigh. Much like Mundy at Freo, he was the cool head that just seemed to do the right thing in pressure situations.

I think he brought a “calmness” to our midfield unit that we haven’t quite replicated since.

What him and Lloyd waxing short passes , he was easily replaced

The stats are terrible for the middle without him and George was a great back up
