2) Errol Gulden is the best field kick in the game right now​


Arguably taking the mantle as Sydney's best player, 20-year-old Errol Gulden's field kicking is the best in the competition at the moment. As the Swans were up against it and struggling to generate their trademark transition out of defence against the Dogs on Thursday night, Gulden's linking kicks changed the game. When the Swans were being let down by blinkered, Buddy-centric forward 50 kicks, it was Gulden who lowered the eyes and shot through some pinpoint passes to the chest of his forwards. He is a player who has an elite footy brain, and the skills to match. Finishing with 11 inside 50s and 773m gained from his 30 disposals in Thursday's win, he is building an All-Australian worthy season in just his third year in the AFL. - Gemma Bastiani

Nine things we learned: This young Swan is the AFL's best kick

Collingwood only needs a quarter to destroy you, Carlton's season could hang on Harry, plus more round 18 lessons

Swans extract from Jon Ralph article in HSun:


"Lance Franklin has told those close to him that he will retire at the end of the year, with the Swans’ round 24 home clash against Melbourne shaping as an emotional farewell to his stunning future Hall of Fame career.

The Swans’ public line is that Franklin is just focusing on helping the team win each week, and he certainly did that against the Bulldogs.
Franklin will retire knowing his best is still glorious, with his troublesome knee the major issue that prevents him from training enough to get across the ground as he did in his peak.

He will retire with his legend and his pride intact.

Sam Reid is uncontracted and out for the year after hamstring surgery, so if the Swans can bolster their key-position stocks in the trade period he might be in trouble.

But he did play 18 games last year and is only 31.

Lewis Melican is also out of contract and had won his way back into the side before last week’s hamstring injury, but surely there is a role for him on this list."

    Some people should consider the point whether it is Daicos who is improving the Pies rather than the the Pies who are improving Daicos.

    Naicos has yet to play in a struggling team and it is difficult to compare. I do know I wouldn't swap Errol for any other player in the comp.. Aside from the great disposal and vision I really appreciate his capacity to get down and dirty and to never give up. Some of his defensive efforts in spoiling taller Oppo have been terrific. He actually has a serious leap.

    The Nick Daicos discussion has been moved to the General Discussion thread since nearly all comments involved didn't pertain to or mention any Swans players.

    Former top-5 draft pick’s advice for potential number one selection

    He was happy to move interstate.
    www.sen.com.au www.sen.com.au

    “I just wanted the opportunity and I’m so grateful that Sydney took me,” he added.

    “I’ve loved every minute here, it’s been so much fun and I can’t wait to keep playing for this club for as long as I can.

    “I do miss my family and friends but I love Sydney and the club have been so welcoming. It’s such an awesome environment and I just enjoy playing for the club.”
