Analysis 2026 - The Way Forward
I would absolutely love to see a healthy Mills in the midfield. I think that's been one of the things we have been missing in there, a two way player who can take control and stem the bleeding when we lose momentum. I love Rowbottom, he's my favourite player but he just isn't a two way player... -

Media Swans Talk in the Media 2025
The Swans definitely play down to the level of teams. I remember hearing Paul Roos talk about how different teams put more emphasis on how their opponents play and other some teams just focus on themselves. A good example is the Bulldogs who rarely play based on their opponents and back their... -

Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have ?
I don't think the home games moving out of state would be so popular I should've clarified, the first bit is the unpopular bit. The second bit would be much more popular -

Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have ?
The SCG needs a serious overhaul even if it means playing home games out of state. Mismatched stands, poor camera angles, should be brought up to capacity of Adelaide Oval or Perth Stadium. -

Scape Goat Sack Cox
This club needs a shake up in the coaches box. Not necessarily Cox but some fresh eyes and minds in the assistants ranks. It's insanity to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. Yes there's been injuries but there has also been a massive drop off in discipline and effort... -

Coach Dean Cox - 2025 Coach - Signed 4 year deal
It may be correlation rather than causation but it's hard not to compare the suspensions to the head coach tenure. Either his head is in the same and he thinks that they have been unlucky or the players aren't getting the message and changing bad habits. -

Hard to put faith in a coach who has turned a grand finalist into witches hats. -

Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom Happy 150 games
I think in the defensive half he tends to just throw the ball on the foot to hoof it forwards at stoppage. I don't know if this is for any reason in particular (coaches orders, lack of faith in defenders, panic under pressure). In the forward half he tends to be a bit more likely to take an... -

Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom Happy 150 games
I am not quite sure what people are expecting. He plays a predominantly defensive role in the midfield at the contest where there is the least time to think about what you are doing with the ball. Not every player has the read of the game that the best players do. So the options in the thick of... -

List Mgmt. 2024 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals
It might be worth holding onto both late first round picks rather than reading for 13 purely as trade bait for live trades if someone slips down the order. Potentially snag some good picks for next year when we need them for trading back for points. -

Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom Happy 150 games
Completely agree. One of the things I've particularly noticed is that he seems to be the one to take the game on himself especially when the rest of the midfield isn't firing. His effort seems to be much more even across the game. For a player playing in such a physically demanding role his... -

Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom Happy 150 games
I genuinely don't understand how the media constantly overlook his influence. Without him I very much doubt that the "big 3" would have the influence they do. -

Autopsy And we are into another Granny! comprehensive 36 point win over Port.
He seems to be getting better at getting himself into dangerous positions too. -

POTY PF - Sydney Swans v. Port Adelaide
5. Rowbottom 4. Heeney 3. Cunningham 2. Blakey 1. Armaty Y. McDonald You could honestly give points to so many players in any order. Really liked the sustained pressure of Rowie all game long. Made some huge tackles, such an important balance to the more offensively minded players.
