So in keeping with the oft-used theory that Sydney were lucky to win a flag in 05' and make the GF' in 06' because they had no injuries....(like almost any other flag side in history hasn't generally had their best players on the park at the right time of the year).....
Let's hypothesise that Sydney are going to lose 2 players to long term injuries in 07' and that they are one of the top 2 - 4 teams going around (other teams have been unlucky with injuries but Sydney are a damn good side, you don't make two GF's by accident).
Which two players being lost could prevent the Swans winning or even making the GF if on all other accounts they may have? Is it due to them being the best players, having a crippling effect on the structure and balance of the team, or that something else that provide (ie Kirk's inspiration and leadership). Obviously with 12 selections I'm going to miss some that you feel may exist......but we'll see who people come up with.
