Burgoyne was widely considered a risk because of his knee. While he had been elite no one thought he would reach his previous level.
Wingard had stalled and while he’s shown glimpses since his AA season hasn’t come on as expected.
Mitchell wasnt Swans best 22. Potential was there for sure but he was hardly even in the top 20 mids in the comp
There is no way McEvoy was elite - he still isn’t. He’s a great role ruckman and would have been top 5 ruck in the comp in 2019 but he was barely in our side that first year.
Mitchell was clearly in Sydney's best 22 and came to us after putting in a tremendous performance in their grand final loss to the Doggies. He was clearly their second best player on the day to JPK.
What is this revisionist history?
