What do you guys make of the Swans this year? Many are predicting the Swannies to sink after getting pummelled at home against the GWS in last years finals. They certainly had some sub-par performances towards the latter stages of 2018. Hannebery departed to the Saints in the off season etc. The fact is however that at 3 quarter time during their last home and away game against Hawthorn { Missing Luke Parker and Buddy Franklin ) Sydney were in the top 4. They lost a close one by 9 points which edged them out of double chance contention, leaving them left to duke it out with cross town rivals the Giants 2 weeks later. The Swans still possess big game players and top class talent in Josh Kenneddy, Luke Parker, Kieron Jack, Issac Heeney and of course, Buddy Franklin. McVeigh is as solid as they come, Sinclair has proved his worth both in the ruck and up forward, and with young gun Luke Ronke also able to provide a spark in front of goal. The inclusion of Dan Menzel further strengthens their awesome artillery up front. In addition, Papley, Florent, Mills are some young talent who also provide various avenues along with Aliir Aliir solid up back. Others that further balance the team are Lloyd, Naismith, Rampe, Cunningham and Reid. Reid's a big bodied player and can also contribute to the scoreboard when he's fit and healthy.
I'm not sure on the Swans myself tbh. But can we really discount their powerhouse talent and their consistency in making the finals? I wouldn't sleep on the Swans just yet.
What do you forecast for Sydney in 2019?
