Can Swans still win GF?

[Luv_our_club]

Naismith injured at training - out for the season.
Tippet - retired.

Sinclair now the number 1 ruckman.

They couldn’t win it all anyway. Too many list holes.

The changing of the guard is in full swing now.

 

[Milanista28]

I think they can.

 

[Jukesy85]

I rate Sinclair ahead of our last two premiership ruckmen (Roughead and Nankervis), so I don’t see it hurting their chances too much (I didn’t have them as my flag pick anyway but they’ll still be up there).

Also, I rate their new #2 ruckman Darcy Cameron reasonably highly too. Good kid from Claremont.

Should be a premiership contender so I think it's possible.

People forget that the Swans have an All Australian ruckman who is fresh and ready to go

another Tiger with amazing reflexes

 

[00Stinger]

a midfield of Kennedy, Hennerbury, Parker, Heeney & Mills can cover the loss of a bog average ruckman

 

[BEEG]

How ridiculous they cant sign a free agent from a lower division.

 

[HairyO]

Hard to see them losing a game.

Well this is the argument for it as the Swans at list lodgement had Tippett, Naismith, Sinclair Cameron and Amartey as our ruckmen, which admittedly isn't a brilliant ruck division but it is serviceable. With Tippett retiring due to injury and then Naismith getting an ACL we are down to Sinclair, Cameron and Amartey, and of those three only one of them has any experience at an AFL level.

In an ideal world the Swans would be able to pick up another ruckman from the state leagues (so a mature ager) due to Tippett retiring. Unfortunately that isn't the rules though, so we are in a bit of a pickle.

The problem is having to lodge your list 5 months before the season AFL house that busy?

I don't mind a mid-season draft... but only for players above the height of 198cms

I read that as a height above 198kgs.

Which I think should also be a rule.

Make it happen Gil.

 

[Superstar swan]

Its not like naismith is a match winner anyway...expect towers and aliir to ruck alot now..they wont win many contests but can you imagine guys like nankervis and sandi chasing them round.

We will essentially have an extra mid throughout the game

This could result in an unexpected comeback for Jars!

Did Hawthorn lose ruckmen a lot when Buddy was with you guys?
